Buchanan: GOP Risks Third Party Revolt with Romney Candidacy

If Romney wanted to restructure his platform to imitate a popular candidate, seems to me that Cain is in that spot.

[DallasSun]

I have a great respect for Buchanan and I too think he may be right. I am another who is not going to vote for Romney no matter what.

[Bobalu]

[Beagle8U]

If Romney is anywhere on the ticket, that slot on the ballot will be left blank.

[Avery Iota Kracker]

Bring it on.

Obama 35%
Romney 10%
Cain 55%

Romney has kept insisting that he never wished Romneycare on any other states or as a Federal thing, that it was a local Massachusetts thing. He’d probably claim the same with other screaming liberal influences he buddied up with while governor of Massachusetts. So a veep that parroted these talking points wouldn’t get any grief from Romney.

[DallasSun]

Could you please be more clear?

[Politicalmom]

I will NEVER vote for Romney for Pres.

I could be persuaded if he were the VP candidate, because he would be too old to run again after his VP term was up. I don’t see what assets he could bring to the table as VP, though.

Cain hasn’t been able to push Romney because he doesn’t have full support on his own ideas and has shown a readiness to speak out before he gives an issue full though.

In other words, Romney thinks that he can dominate Cain, not the other way around. Romney knows that he is no match for Gingrich, less so Santorum, though I’d match Santorum’s intelligence against Romney any day.

And when Obama has replaced a dying, say, Scalia with you know what, we know the ballot blankers are to thank.

[Jim Robinson]

Why not? He effortlessly moved to the left of Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts then governed as Teddy’s bitch. He’ll lie, steal, cheat, do or say anything to get elected.

He’s a two-bit lying political whore. No foundation whatsoever.

[Beagle8U]

“Could you please be more clear?”

Not without getting the boot...lol

[Jim Robinson]

NUTS TO YOU!!

NO SURRENDER!! NO RETREAT!!

FUMR!! FUBO!!

[Beagle8U]

When that happens it will be the fault of those that didn't make their position clear before the liberal puke was given the nomination.

[trubolotta]

Something tells me that won't work because the question won't be what's the difference (state vs. federal). The question will be is RomneyCare a good plan. Romney still defends it. How can a VP criticize RomneyCare without criticizing Romney? A RINO VP could, but conservative VP? I don't think so.

[DaxtonBrown]

Pat is often wrong but he is right on this one. Romney would torch what is left of the GOP.

[riverdawg]

“If Romney got the GOP nod, then Sarah Palin said she was going to run with Cain as a third party... now that could grab enough votes to upset the applecart but good.”

That would ensure the re-election of Obama.

[The Right wing Infidel]

Sorry but it would better if the gop would lose if Romney was the candidate because it would teach the gop to not run liberal fools like Romney for president and put a real conservative instead!

[HiTech RedNeck]

OK, let’s easily lose the last bastion of US sanity before dissolving into another armed battle. I’ll gladly take the nuts, be they Brazil, almonds, filberts, cashews, even peanuts, for saying that. Of course every effort must be put into seeing that Romney is not the candidate. But if he is, a boycott of the GOP candidate for president, without a spectacularly good third party (again e.g. Cain/Palin running as TEA) is cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.

[DallasSun]

LOL. I appreciate your being so succinct!
