Yes, because we’re suppose to choose from a preselected list of GOP approved RINO’s who’ll toe the party line. It will be “inevitable”, just like romney. Hell, why even bother with primaries, and why would candidates even bother running in them. The GOP does more damage to itself than the dems could hope to imagine. IMHO, the conservatives are fools for hitching their wagon to the republican party.

why even bother with primaries

Last year, many FR posters kept asking me who I was for, since I was throwing mud at all of the wannabes.

I responded that it probably wouldn't matter. My state primary was held late, late in the season. I posted that the race would be decided long beforehand. It was. By the time of the state primary, Romney already had the nomination locked up. Similar in 2008 with McCain. My state primary for the presidential nomination was a waste of time and money, because the results were insignificant.
