The flaw in your thinking is that many million registered Republicans voted for Mitt because they seriously thought he was the best candidate.

That's not what I saw and heard throughout the conservative electorate. What I heard consistently was a frank admission that Romney sucked, followed by the desperate claim that Romney didn't suck as bad as Obama.

It really wasn't secret mind control rays from Karl Rove's attic.

I don't know a single conservative who ever thought it was.

The conservative base isn't only not a majority in the country, it is arguably not a majority of the GOP electorate.

Do you work inside the Beltway? Just curious.

We need to make the base bigger.

Do you think continued abject surrender to RINOs will do that?

Opportunity knocks. Instead of fleecing the gullible of money in small lots like you did in the last go round, you can really clean up if Hillary likes the cut of your gib.

"registered Republicans" <> "the conservative electorate". Not by quite a margin. If all those people who told you that Romney sucked were registered Republicans, and if they are intelligent enough to think for themselves, how did he wind up the nominee??

And FYI, I live and work in a solidly red state, GOP everything state and federal except for on senator. BTW my state went for Romney in the 2012 primaries.
