As Ted Cruz courts Jewish voters, Mitt Romney mulls denying him the nomination

I have thought of Romney as the “Destroyer” for quite a while, a cult leader in quest of revenge against a nation, culture, religion, a people, that his family has despised and resented, and felt persecuted by, and superior to, for 171 years.
Romney is anti-conservative, anti-Republican, even anti-American, or at least in the way and for the reasons that we like America.

Romney has an internal agenda that has been shaped by his family’s anti-American Mormon history, and by his own Mormonism as a leader in the religion. None of us know why he wants to be president, I think we all know that the Senate race and the governor term were merely to be a step to the Presidency, a perfunctory step to his destiny, and we don’t see any connection between him, and any destiny for America that could depend on him, at least that we want to know about.

Some of that unease that America feels with Mitt, is a sense that something is going on in there that isn’t good for us, something which we would not like, there is a faint, almost imperceptible sense of a darkness in Mitt Romney, a cold, total, absolute focus on his own internal purpose, which is unknowable to us and is separate from ours and our nations.

I don’t think that’s what he means. “deny him the _nomination_”, not the general.

I think this is a null threat, because if the conservatives can overcome the GOPe in the primaries to the point that Cruz is the presumptive nominee, there’s not much Mittster could do.

One of the many raps against Cruz is that, while he is the favorite of the conservative, tea party base, he lacks the ability to reach out to moderate Republicans, not to mention the vaunted independents whom all the experts believe are necessary to win the presidency.

One of the many raps against Romney is that, while he is the favorite of the crony-communist RINOs, he lacks the ability to reach out to conservative Republicans, independents, Reagan Democrats, or any other pro-American voters, all of whom are necessary to win the presidency.

The backlash against these crony-communist RINO pricks is going to get ugly.

I can see Huckabee causing trouble for conservatives in Iowa. But Pansy entering as favorite son in SC only causes trouble for RINOs. He is not the favorite son of SC conservatives and if Fauxcahontas and Hitlery are fighting it out, they won’t get enough cross over dems to make a difference.

Understand that, in this case, all the RINO candidates would stay out of the state, leaving Graham with no competition from that side of the spectrum.

Accordingly, Graham would probably be strong enough to win at least a plurality in the South Carolina GOP primary -- and thereby deny Cruz a victory (and the delegates).

In fact, Cruz may not choose to run in South Carolina under these circumstances. Traditionally, a "favorite son" candidacy is a way for a state to remain "uncommitted" and it isn't contested.

Why won't Mittens Romney just shut-up and fade away. He's not Harold Stassen. {Or, maybe he just wants to be a perennial POTUS candidate?)
