We actually NEED TO CONSOLIDATE behind a good candidate early. We don’t want another 2012 where the conservatives & Tea Partiers split between lots of candidates, allowing Romney to take the GOP-e vote & win the primaries.
There may be issues with Rand, but he’s far & away my favorite at this point. I want him to appoint Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court. Cruz would do a great job there.
We need to consolidate behind a good candidate early, or take a fight to the opposition early.
It is the second half of that, which is important.
I am just making the point that we need to win that fight this time, or else break from the GOP now and fight it out for real this time.
No backing down this time.
