Romney is going to be President. Conservatives are going to have to live with that fact, elect as many conservatives to the Congress, and hold Romney’s feet to the fire.
If he is not to be the nominee in 2016, the time to find the challenger is now—not three weeks before the end of the 2016 primary season.
I don't accept that, though. I believe he will be the nominee, but president? How is a liberal with a leftwing record going to offer himself as a clear choice when the opponent is a Marxist? Romney simply cannot run on his record, and saying "Well, at least I'm not Obama" won't cut it. And even if he does win, you expect Boehner and the GOP-e to hold his feet to the fire? Really?? Did they ever do that with Bush?
The only thing I'm sure of, though, is that I won't have to live with the fact that I cast a vote for the abortion/homosexual lover Willard.
Conservatives have the most leverage right now to influence a Romney presidency. Take a look at the linchpin policy areas, find agreement and make him commit to certain appointments, etc.
Obama lurched hard left, but Bush was steering in that general direction already. Romney isn’t going to lurch hard right, but he’ll have to steer to the right of Obama.
It is naive to think that the establishment is going to roll over and die. We have to win and hold Congress and to do that we need to win the war of ideas. We’re doing that with abortion and gun control as too great models. It’s easier and easier to push the conservative agenda in those two areas. We need to get another Justice Thomas to replace Ginsburg and conservatives should be locating several candidates right now. Get the GOP leadership to acquiesce to that in exchange for our support.
Still believe in the Tooth Fairy, do you?
A Republican dominated Congress will roll with Romney's big government, liberal agenda, where they'd fight tooth and nail against a president wearing the enemy's jersey.
I don't know why this is so hard for so many people to understand.
If it’s close, you think Romney’s actually going to win?
Conservatives are going to stay home this year on POTUS. I think its going to effect the downticket races too.
In WA state, McKenna HAD a fighting chance. Now, as absolutely repulsive as Jay Inslee is EVEN TO DEMOCRATS, he’s going to win.
I’m writing in Petraeus. In a perfect world, he’d be my candidate.
