That’s it!

Soft on the outside with a mushy middle.

Mitt Romney is a Twinkie!

RINOs can’t win a national election.

People prefer the real Coke to the counterfeit one.

A lesson the GOP has yet to learn.

True! Except he has hundreds of millions in election funds and he will spend it all ripping conservatives a new one. And then he will be tough. But will go belly up and present himself to the Dhimmicrat candidate

Case in point, Obama was a very weak incumbent and Romney lost - that was his chance and he blew it.

Has Ted Cruz officially announced his run for the presidency? The minute he does he is getting a big fat check from me.

Ted Cruz:

The Republicans’ path to the presidency doesn’t cut through “the mushy middle.”


Any questions?

He’s already running.

Conservatives are going to rally around Cruz.

The good news is Republican moderates/liberals will be fighting over Bush/Romney/Christie - none of whom are electable.

There are sorts of fundraising, filing, and reporting rules that apply once you officially announce a run. It makes sense to delay that as long as possible, as long as you can still build up the infrastructure you're going to need.

In the case of Bishop Janus Willard “RAT” Romney,
the delay comes from trying to maintain BOTH positions.
THAT, and being a lying statist, is the Romney-Way(TM).

Romney’s job is to make sure no conservative has a chance to run. He doesn’t really want to be president.
