I don’t believe they push Romney because they think he’s the only one electable.
I think they’ve sold out, each at his own price. This is why I don’t trust them—not a single one of them.
I like Boortz, but I am not buying the ‘Only Romney can win’ argument. The two main issues this election need to be Obamacare and jobs. If we go with Romney, we are down to one issue. We need the base to turn out in massive numbers. That won’t happen with Romney. He is a very unexciting candidate as far as I can tell. No one is getting fired up about Romney and that isn’t going to change. We need someone who will really take it to Obama and not play Mr. Nice Guy like McCain did in 2008. We all know how that worked out. As for the other candidates, it is unlikely they can beat Obama either. Gingrich is viewed as mean and a Washington insider. Paul is considered too radical by a large portion of the electorate. Santorum has almost single-highhandedly lost the GOP the female and Independent vote. He lost his own state in 2006 by 17 points. Where does that leave us? Gingrich is my favorite among the candidates left. Not because I strongly feel he could win, but because it would be exciting to watch him take on Obama one-on-one. It looks bad for the GOP and conservatives in particular this presidential election cycle. We should have picked the best ‘pretty conservative’ choice early on and quit attacking every candidate as not conservative enough. Our only hope now is for no candidate to have enough delegates and a brokered convention. Then, we could bring in a new candidate that is acceptable to most of the base and who has not been scarred by this brutal election cycle. I would wish for Paul Ryan, but others would be better than Romney or the rest of the current GOP field. The odds of this happening are low.
