Correct me if I am wrong, but is this how it goes? . "Romney, come here. We've decided you are next." Romney: " Oh, thank you." Romney loses Florida, and they replace him. And we're supposed to just vote for whomever they pick? Do they get to pick our presidents for us? They pick, we vote?

Unfortunately, yes. The Republican Party does control who the Republican candidate will be. It's their party.

They have been doing it for a hundred years. Reagan was an accident.

“They pick, we vote?”

Uh, yeah. The last time we picked the nominee was in 1980 (Reagan).

To wit, don’t you recall Bob Dole’s rant in 1996:
“I’ve waited and I’ve waited. I’ve been patient and I’ve been patient. Now it’s my turn (to be the nominee)!”
