Mitt Romney won the Republican nomination in 2012 because moderate Republican voters and corporate contributors STUCK TOGETHER behind him, while Conservative voters were splitting their primary votes among a number of Conservative candidates, from Newt Gingrich to Rick Santorum.
Ted Cruz is charismatic and principled enough to unite Conservatives in 2016. In fact, the more the RINOs, the Karl Rovian fat-cat contributors, and the let’s-all-get-together accommodationists like Ann Coulter attack Ted Cruz, the more likely that principled Conservatives will unite behind him and assure that he wins the nomination 2016.
Let the RINO voters split THEIR votes in 2016 — between Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, whoever, the more the merrier.
Well, that, and the GOP-E cheated, changing rules after the fact, seating the full Florida delegation, who should have been penalized half because of their early primary, etc.....
Add that to the open primaries that the GOP loves, and the liberal states having primaries first... Sure Mitt won the nomination.
