It’s Trump turf yes. But When Cochran looked like he was a gonner, the openly pulled the race card and bought enough Dems to win. Literally bought. The presidential race is a must win for them. Because if they don’t, then lots of people are in serious legal trouble under a non-bought Justice Dept.
Every couple weeks or so, a trial balloon goes up with Romney’s name on it. In the last one he dominated NH. Whether thats unicorn polling or truth, the public/voters read and bought it. Those polls happen for a reason. There have been semi-frequent articles with ‘supposed’ donors pining for Romney. Which is just more trial ballooning.
Romney himself in typical style has played both sides of the issue denying and hinting at running.
Ultimately when Trump and Cruz prove insurmountable in the GOP public, the GOP has to look elsewhere. They are already doing articles that Hillary is better than Ted or Don. This too is trial ballooning because they know one of them is going to landslide this.
Now since we all saw Jeb give Hillary a medal to much GOP applause, Since Gowdy protected her unashamedly with his Bhenghazi actions and since the media cannot go 5 min without end of the world articles about the end of life in this galaxy under T/D, it’s all leading one place logically.
Since they proved they will risk whatever they have to to exclude a conservative from office, and since they have telegraphed their liberalism on every cave in for 2 years running, I do not believe that they will do whats needed. They make the rules so they need not break them.
For every state level pol that walks when they do, there is a fellow traveler willing to assist them on election day. It is standard communist dogma. The CPUSA used it to co-opt the DNC decades ago. So I think the evidence is there for a merger and for Romney. And for the GOP caring not a whit at the fallout as they have the numbers with that merger to keep liberals in power and themselves out of jail.
To clarify...
For every state level pol that walks when they the GOP do, away from Trump/Cruz
I’m thinking Huckabee, he has already reduced staff.
but if 6 drop out the day after Iowa Caucus, they lose their punch.
“They have NO ONE who has a chance” Yes and that is my entire point. They have no change pushing their RINOs on the majority of the right. In damn near all states.
And that is WHY they will have to merge and run someone like Romney on the resulting ticket.
They do not want or need us that way. They can be rid of us forever because the moderates/ Leftists in the ranks will again be there for Mitt and will take a Hillary over a Trump or Cruz. And they will throw the convention if they have to.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but you guys can watch till the cows come home. What you/we can’t do is redirect them. If we could, we would not be having this discussion to begin with.
This is about the grip on power. Their power is of the left. Without us, they require leftist votes. To get them they need a leftist candidate. Romney is the leftmost GOP guy in the party’s existence. He is pro abortion. That one fact alone will guarantee him Dem votes when they are told the alternative is T/D.
The GOP will not...NOT...let a minor thing like the majority of its voters interfere with globalism, donors that need illegal labor or all the rest.

I think Huck and Rick out on 02FEB16. Realistically Gilmore and Pataki should be out by New Years.
12 need to drop out NOW.
Jeb Bush, former Florida governor 4.32% (185 votes)
Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon 1.45% (62 votes)
Chris Christie, New Jersey governor 15.79% (676 votes)
Ted Cruz, U.S. senator from Texas 0.51% (22 votes)
Carly Fiorina, former Hewlett-Packard chief executive 2.97% (127 votes)
Jim Gilmore, former Virginia governor 22.83% (977 votes)
Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor 6.29% (269 votes)
John Kasich, Ohio governor 3.69% (158 votes)
George Pataki, former New York governor 24.39% (1,044 votes)
Rand Paul, U.S. senator from Kentucky 3.6% (154 votes)
Marco Rubio, U.S. senator from Florida 0.33% (14 votes)
Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania 10.7% (458 votes)
Donald Trump, billionaire businessman 3.13% (134 votes)
Nope.
yes, the “take a flyer” concept is part of the equation no doubt...
Yes, true... I am sure you also know that by suspending their campaigns they hold their convention delegates... all part of a ploy to try to keep Trump [or Cruz] from coralling a majority vote at the convention, thus allowing Bush - Rove - Romney, etc. to broker a candidate for the useless RINO powerless (DO NOTHING) elite. :^/
How many of them have said [some in public] that if they do not get their way they will vote for Hildebeest! Doesn't that just about say it all!
Maybe he is waiting till Ohio primary, only a week after Florida. AmIright?
Looked it up, Ohio Primary same day as Florida, March 15
Unfortunately, I can see Kasich staying till then.
I voted for Bush and let say that this will be the only vote I cast for Bush this year!
Huck is still in?? Who can tell?
