Sarcasm aside, they can stop this IF they unite behind a candidate and stop splitting the vote trying to let the perfect be the enemy of the good (resulting in bad).
Early on in 2012, half of this board was slamming all candidates trying to clear the way for Palin - who wasn't even running. Then you had Newt's people slamming Santorum when Romney was the problem.
I mentioned on another thread today, how we conservatives eat our own. One misstep or one statement that disagrees with our 100% purity candidate is enough to turn our backs on a very good candidate and give us a very bad one.
