reince preibus and the rnc manufactured certain primaries to be open to dims and independents to vote in them. reince then played loose and fast with the way certain electors in certain states were counted and disbursed... and then he and mitt conspired with certain Secretaries of State to keep his two closest competitors off the ballots in those States... VA and MO for example... then mitt spent 10’s of millions of dollars in false attack ads in Florida and lied about Newt... when it comes to obama and mitt could tell the truth and attack with the same ferocity... he refuses.
mitt is the presumptive nominee because the gop/e wanted him to be the nominee... just like Dole and mccain. They control the process and the outcome... regardless of what you say or think.
You and the gop/e can moan and bitch about Conservatives and our complaints and concerns... Conservatives that have had enough... after decades of lies and corruption... you despise us and treat us worse than you do dims like pelosi and reid... and because of this ill treatment... your party will have to EARN the Conservative vote... it will never be given freely again.

You poor baby! You can’t handle that the RINOs have more control over the rules of game because conservatives have not taken over the inner workings of the party like I have been advocating for a decade!
But you absolutely ignore the bottom line FACTS.
If conservatives coalesced around any one candidate by January, Romney would not have had a chance, despite his slimy ads and shenanigans.
THAT was the real problem.....not the GOP setup of open primaries, etc, which are minor in comparison.
But everytime a decently conservative candidate would emerge as the front-runner, other conservatives cut them down as not good enough or some other minor infraction of conservatism.
We are our own worst enemy in all of this.
