Romney cannot possibly beat Hillary.

Your whole post was complete bunk. You pulled most of that drivel out of your backside.

Hillary vs Mitt = Landslide victory for Mitt. Period. No Republican is going to vote for Hillary no matter who the Republican candidate is.

Your assertion that Religious conservatives would pull a voting lever in support of Hillary is ludicrous -at best. Borderline insane.

Hillary will get the standard %26 of the vote. That seems to be the current level kook-dom in the US these days.

Hillary couldn't win against a dead cat. Actually I'd feel safer with the dead cat in office than with her.

I want a President that does what's right for the country. Not what appeases the ideologues or worries about polls. The majority of the time that will be conservative, -but sometimes not. That it's the right thing to do is what matters.

I learned that from a man named Jesus. -lived a long time ago.

Don't give into the media hype

You ought to try reading what I actually posted before attacking me. You response makes you look stupid and childish.

I made no assertions whatsoever about Republicans of any flavor voting for Hillary, although it would be juvenile to assert that it will not happen at all. Oh wait, that’s what you said.

I have recorded your prediction on Hillary. I hope you like the taste of crow.

Now that we have the pleasantries aside, I will elucidate on what I actually posted.

The reason Romney cannot beat Hillary is exactly the same reason George Bush couldn’t beat Bill Clinton. The base will stay home. As I said, Romney has alienated large portions of the very fragile coalition that a Republican needs to win the White House. Most of the base doesn’t trust him. It doesn’t take Republicans voting for Hillary for her to win, it only takes Republicans not voting for Romney.

Romney would have to choose an iron-clad conservative with military experience for conservatives to vote for the ticket.

The only option I see is Duncan Hunter and maybe Rick Santorum. However, it's highly unlikely Romney will choose someone from another Northeast state, so the smart money is on Hunter. If Romney's nominated he would have to choose Hunter. Anyone else and the base is staying home.

The South is not voting for a Mormon. Forget about it.

Any conservative who is at all familiar with Romney's history opposing the Bush taxcuts, supporting the assault weapons ban, and recent flip on abortion will not be motivated to vote for a RINO.
