Scoff all you want. The Republican hierarchy and its accomplices in the media promoted Romney from the start. Romney was described as the Republican candidate before the first primary was held. A large contingent of people don’t bother to do their own research on a candidate. If they hear Romney is the one, they aren’t going to vote for anyone else.
Look at the sabotage of Herman Cain’s candidacy. Where do you think all those broads came from? It wasn’t the Democrats. Notice too that the media, including Fox, reported all those allegations without question or investigation. Why do you think that was? The media was influenced to do their utmost to make Cain look as bad as possible. That influence came from the Republican hierarchy.
The other candidates also didn’t have a chance.
And it wasn't just stuff like the scandals, either.
Let's look at Virginia, for a minute. Are we really supposed to believe that a successful multi-term governour of our second-largest state (Perry) and the brilliant intellect and organiser behind the Contract for America and the Republican Revolution in 1994 (Gingrich) were both so amateurishly incompetent that they couldn't even get it together to make sure they had enough signatures to get on the ballot in the VA primary, where both should theoretically have done well?
And isn't it odd and coincidental that they both had their sig lists gone over hyper-scrupulously, and had just enough tossed to disqualify them both? Meanwhile, Romney's lists went basically untouched and were accepted quickly?
Now, who was it that the GOP hierarchy in VA, from McDonnell on down supported? Oh right - Romney.
Or how about in Florida, where Gingrich's media ads were being held up in most major markets because they "need to be fact-checked," while Romney's much more negative and dishonest ads were run without problems? Wonder how that happened? Let's see, who did most of the GOP hierarchy in Florida support? You guessed it - Romney.
Let's face it - a major reason why Romney is the nominee is because he and his campaign scammed their way into it with the complicit help of the GOP-E, over and against the wishes of the majority of rank-and-file Republicans during the early primary season.
That makes him an illegitimate nominee. One who does not deserve nor should expect conservative support.
You speak the truth.
