Romney was a BAD choice in 2012, and he would have been BAD for America -- worse than Obama because good, patriotic Americans rejected Obama and can fight what they rejected. Romney would have been in office, wielding all his bad stuff and amoral tyranny, and folks who knew he was bad, would be responsible because they voted FOR him on the flawed, faulty rationale that he would be "better" than Obama! WRONG, entropy -- he was equally BAD as Obama in terms of damage wrought.

entropy, It is better to fight tyranny you rejected than tyranny you elected.

I generally agree. Both finalists in 2012 were bad. Obama was just the worse of the two.

The problem in 2012 was lack of unity among conservatives.
If either Newt or Santorum had dropped out after SC primary,
Romney’s chances at nomination would be severely diminished.

In 2016 we will face the same problem. Jeb will be the lone Rino after SC primary, and 2 or more conservatives will duke it out to the bitter end, just like 2012, clearing the path for Jeb.
