“By together, I mean, the 1st thing is to stop Romney. So, they attack him and defend from both flanks”
Okay, so they refrain from attacking eachother and team up on Romney. That may help in a card game, but here they’ll still be splitting eachother’s votes. I don’t see it as any kind of solution.
Well, just like in a card game, the mark ends up losing- and the grifters end up splitting the pot. Newt and Rick just have to decide how they are willing to split the take.
