Extreme,
They’re not lazy or stupid. They’re just playing games. They know Fred is in the race, and they fear the Fred - like the poster just below you. Anyone who backs one of the Rudy McRomneys is NOT a conservative, and they don’t want a real conservative in the race who might knock their guys out.
It's a brilliant strategy, watching the others squirm. Letting the base speculate, building support with real conservatives and reganesque democrats, who hate what the moonbat/socialist/wackjob party has become.
And we all know how we feel about the RINO party, with it's horn and head planted firmly up it's own @$$.
