Somebody explain to me who THAT is supposed to work? All it does is further divide the cake for the GOPe candidates. Unless the GOPe could get Jeb, Christie, Kasich and so forth to drop out and actually endorse a single, agreeable cadidate. And even then they probably wouldn’t match Dr. Carson’s support levels, let alone Donald Trump’s.
No. What we’re seeing, I think, is a total loss-of-control by the GOP apparatus of the nominating process. This is probably their last play.
No, the idea would be for any accumulated votes from GOPe (and, you can be sure, from Carson and his handlers) candidates, as well as all the GOPe party superdelegates, to be thrown to Romney at the convention, I’m quite sure.
Anyone who thinks Carson wouldn’t be a part of it should look at his funding, as well as his positions on such things as amnesty, TPP, etc., and the GOPe’s penchant to use a black “outsider” candidate to split the base’s vote early in the primaries.
