“There is no mistake about victory. If the strategy wins, it wins. If it gathers the non political junkies via TV, then he is victorious.
The man is running a very crisp campaign. He’s a brilliant guy.”
============================================================For a conservative, you don’t sound very concerned that through wealth and primary system finesse, a man with very little deep, popular support could squeeze out a win in the primary.
By queering the process we get a weak candidate, a demoralized conservative base, no particular passionate, widespread support, against a candidate that will have everything she needs to roll over an apathetic Republican electorate.
Romney’s numbers and fund raising at this point, suck after all this time, because as a candidate he does not bring in voters or donations, except for small numbers of large donors.
If he threads the needle between Fred and Rudy, he will not bring passion to the aftermath, and conservatives will stay home in mass.
Exactly--he will have demolished the candidates who could win against Hillary and will be very pleased with himself for buying a nomination, but for the general election he will have demoralized just enough of those he needs to win.
