If the choice is Mormon or Muslim, every Christian will vote against the Muslim.
Soure for that claim.
That doesn’t mean they have to vote for the Mormon either.
Of course...if the Muslim is the Democrat, and the Mormon is the RINO, masses of voters will vote third party -- and many of them will permanently leave the GOP.
In quick order.
Evangelicals were over 1/3rd of the entire bloc of voters in 2010.
Whigism...extinction...of the GOP will likely follow if Romney wins the nomination.
The GOP will implode.
You need to understand that the GOP only has about 36% of registered voters as it is. (The Dems just over 40%). Independents and other very small parties make up over 20% these days.
It won't take all that many permanent defections to bring an end to the GOP.
Romney is not a viable candidate. He won't win.
Voting for him, were he to win the nomination, is throwing away your vote.
He might do better than a third party...but if a football team loses a bowl game 46-29, who cares if that losing team would have done better than another team losing 46-17?
