To have a brokered convention, you will need to have your people there as delegates. If you are not in the race, you will have no delegates to back you. You really think the Gingrich, Perry, Cain or Mittens people will decide to scrap their guy to pull a person with terrible unfavorables in as their nominee? That scenario is absolutely impossible.
The last brokered Convention was in 1952 for Adlai Stevenson. This stuff doesn't happen any more because of the way Primaries are constructed today. We will have a clear winner by the time Super Tuesday rolls around.
Cain raised a lot of money last time around, and while supporters were obviously donating to support the Conservative stances he holds, they were primarily coming in at a record pace at that particular time as a show of defiance to those liberals who took us for being just as dumb as their own supporters, and to show the liberals in our media just how far their influence has fallen over the years.
You don't tell us how to feel about our candidates, and you don't decide who we put our support and vote behind. Especially while showing a hysterical desperation that shows your own weakness, and complete fear that seems to be bordering on panic of Herman Cain winning the nomination. That's just an added morale booster for Conservatives to step up their work even further helping Cain get the nomination. This is equivalent in it's completely obvious and transparent goals as being as ridiculous as someone trying to use reverse psychology on your average adult, and expecting the same results you can get from most little kids.
I guess that's to be expected though when your liberal supporters are made up of people like those in the OWS protest, who are easily manipulated and controlled. I think liberals who fear Cain in the general election underestimated Conservatives based on just how easy they control their own extremely ignorant liberal base. They are learning it's not so easy when dealing with intelligent, and informed Conservatives with principle. That's why Cain's supporters here on FR seem to have all stayed on board the Cain Train, and I think the vast majority of all his supporters will do the same.
The few who let let this ploy work to demoralize them, and move their support elsewhere are just playing into the hands of the enemy who's political vision is nothing like theirs, and have manipulated them into hurting their own Conservative views from being seen implemented. Fortunately I believe the small portion who allow themselves to be used against their own interest, won't equal the Cain supporters who not only refuse to be played for ignorant, and easily manipulated puppets, but also get fired up in defeating these people by solidifying their support for Cain. That will result in increased donations, and volunteer work for his campaign to defy those who thought they would have destroyed Cain by now, and have an obvious hysterical fear of him being the Republican nominee.
