The elites better not give us Romney.
The elites don’t have to give us Romney. The fissiparous conservatives are doing just fine at giving us Romney, if you please. When Romney becomes the nominee, we have only ourselves to blame. The elites are laughing at us—we are doing exactly what their strategy requires: stay divided long enough for Romney to get the nomination with 2/3 of the Republican primary voters having voted against him.
It’s a replay of 2008 when Huckabee stayed in long enough to cancel out Romney and give us McCain. The elites didn’t do that, Huckabee conservatives did that.
