Tha base hasn’t picked the nominee in the last two Presidential cycles, unless you think Romney and McCain were the choice of the base.
It will take all conservatives rallying around Cruz to make him the nominee against all the combined power and money of the establishment. The RNC has already been paid by The Cheap Labor Express for an amnesty candidate.
My point exactly. Dole, McCain and Romney were "hold yer nose" votes. And, the RINO's got just what they deserved - a veritable no-show among the base.
