“Romney needs to make a safe pick, and keep talking about the economy — and that’s Rob Portman,”
Yep. The country is headed over the falls morally and financially - plus of course, the whole Constitution.
So they push RINOmney. He (appears) to be winning based on a lame campaign, combined with huge spending on negative ads toward conservative
candidates.
Now when it comes time to name a VP, the establishment wants him to go the safe route...
And people are chomping at the bit to pretend RINOmney is conservative. They are pretending the country is no where near the falls.
... but Romney will get those deck chairs all aligned.
Safe for them. They control the house and will take control of the senate if Barky wins reelection. They would lose both if a Republican won. The presidency has become a puppet role and they don't particularly care to have it.
