“All Romney has to do is announce, and the grassroots will respond instantly.”

and boy did they did....you could hear the crickets!!!!!

Without the base you have NOTHING. With the base (and cranking out the turnout) all things are possible.

There were more than a few solid conservatives besides Mitt.

The base couldn’t even unite behind an acceptable candidate in the primary.
The base split it’s primary vote half a dozen ways and Mitt was never in any real danger of being defeated.

In all likelihood the exact same thing will happen in the 2016 primary. Cruz, Palin,
Paul, Walker, and possibly Rubio will split the grassroots vote like a bundle of kindling and Christie or Jeb will get the nomination and then get trounced by Hillary.
