Mitt is bombing in this interview. He comes across as a career politician and says nothing about anything. He has no core beliefs and will be exposed by the liberal attack machine.
Exactly right on all counts.
But the fix is in for Mittens now and in the coming few months we will see all rivals be “persuaded” into dropping out, lest their futures in the family, um, the party be cut very short.
Perry, Santorum, Bachmann and Huntsman all understand this now and are probably hoping to become the 2016 heir apparent, or, the “made man” (as Romney is now).
I guess Newt might try to hang in there because I doubt he cares about a future in the party. This is his Rubicon.
But that’s it. Romney is the de facto nominee and like Bray almost says he can’t win. It’s the great tradition of McCain, Dole, Ford, ugh.
Four more Obama years? Just add Romney.
My prediction:
The minute Romney becomes a candidate, **then** the Marxist mainstream press will dig up every nutty thing every said by any Mormon “prophet”. Romney will be smeared non-stop as a racist for having been a member of this church ( and holding responsible leadership positions in it) at time when blacks could not hold their “priesthood”. His polygamous ancestors will be resurected.
Then...one week before the election a few disaffected former Mormons will swear that they witnessed baby sacrifice in the Mormon temples. Four months later retractions will be printed in part E on page 57 of the Sunday editions.
Bet on it!
I dig cynicism but you’re way over the top.
Newt will not cede to Mitt, nor will Perry.
That’s ridiculous. Mitt will have to win on his own and conservatives don’t like Mitt. He does have the party backing mostly because he wouldn’t change things and they don’t like change. It scares them.
But the party is not the people. Cheer up.
