Everything that is wrong with the Republican Nomination Process is laid bare, right here.

Adelson was always for Mitt. Hell he even admitted that he kept Gingrich in the race to prevent Santorum’s “extreme” views on abortion out of the white house.

But....Nobody wanted to know it then and I’ve got a hunch they don’t want to hear it now.

I choose Cruz.

Problem #1 is giving too many delegates to states which will never vote GOP in November. Seriously, the opinion of Wyoming is far more valuable than the opinion of Massachusetts.

Delegates should be awarded on the following formula:

1. No more than 20% based on their electoral votes.
   
2. 20% based on things such as GOP governors, senators, congress critters and control of state legislatures.
   
3. At least 60% based on actual ability to deliver electoral votes to the GOP in the last five or six election cycles.

Want more delegates? If your state does reasonably well in #1 and #2, but stinks in #3, then adopt a congressional district awarding system like Maine and Nebraska do rather than winner-take-all. Pennsylvania is a prime example.

You know, I get the funny feeling told people that empowering liberal Republicans, Mitt in particular, was a REALLY bad idea. Not only did he lose, just as predicted, but he was emboldened to keep pushing the GOP leftward.

Now I can’t remember who it was that said that. IIRC there were several people here on FR that did, but it’s...fuzzy somehow. All I know is that those guys were right. Oh sure it MASSIVELY pisses off the leftists here that still scream in his defense to this day. But those guys were right.

I wish I could remember who it was...
