Romney is “stuck” with the supporters he has now. Those who support the remaining candidates...all conservative, but I don’t count Huntsman (lol)...will get behind the most conservative candidate that is left standing.
“The field will sort itself out.”
Yep...and I don’t see any one of the remaining candidates releasing his/her supporters to support Romney.
“When the conservative field is winnowed down, and consolidated behind one or two candidates...”
I was thinking about this today.
If the second tier of conservative candidates don’t start dropping out soon, and throwing their support to one of the top tier candidates, there will come a time during the primaries that it might be too late to prevent Romney from being the nominee.
The only reason I can surmised that they haven’t dropped out yet is all of the FREE debates that they’ve had.
I think the second tier believes that they can pick up support by staying in as long as the debates continue.
By not seeing this, sometimes I think the American people are stupid.
