In which case, the cure is very bit as bad (if not worse) than the disease.
Why not hope for a brokered convention? What does the conservative movement has to lose? It is hard to imagine how a brokered convention could settle on someone worse than these four clowns.
“Why not hope for a brokered convention? What does the conservative movement has to lose?”
Because it’s false hope, McCain will get the nomination in a brokered convention.
What does the conservative movement have to lose?
Everything. If McCain wins, the lesson will be that the Republican candidate can win by giving conservatives the finger.
If Romney wins, the lesson is that if you want to run as a Republican, you have to pay homage to the conservatives. So in one scenario, conservatives still have clout in the future, in the other, conservatives will be ignored.
That’s what the conservative movement has to lose.
