So we will have Cruz, Walker and someone else splitting the conservative votes and again get a moderate as the nominee. Please settle on 1 quickly.

Yup, that's how we got Romney last time.

Not exactly.

We didn’t have a bench of strong folks to the right of Romney the way we do now with Cruz, Walker, Paul.

Also, the “Romney is the only one who can win” and “Romney is inevitable” drumbeat was incessant from the time he announced until the primaries were over.

I definitely agree on your last sentence. If we settle on one quickly, that person will win the nomination handily.

Romney didn’t have any serious challengers.

We don’t have to choose “quickly”- we have, roughly, until Super Tuesday. Almost a year.

Meanwhile Cruz and Walker will whipsaw Jeb and Rand and educate the public on conservative principles and socialist evils.
