If Mitt leads the ticket?

The end result of this past election shows us that you dare not try to win if you are a Republican and walk away from the conservatives.

Mitt ran more and more away from Christian conservatives...and this was the same thing that Dole did and lost...and McCain did and lost...

Now Mitt Romney has joined them in their little club of people who tried to win without us....

I pay attention to a lot of the chat that came out of the Conservative meetings after the election, and there is a ground movement to try to make sure via the Party Rules, that another Mitt Romney does not happen next time.

The error in the Party is that it is so open to people getting into the race.
This allowed a liberal like Mitt to simply be the only guy left standing in a race that bhad way more interest from Conservatives that it had from Mitt supporters on the Left.
But due to the manner that the Conservatives split their votes amoung 8 different people at the start of this primary season, it left Mitt with the largest share of votes.....

and with no support among core conservatives, Mitt had to run the say style of election that doomed McCain and Bob Dole.
All 3 guys now have tried to not be strongly connected to the core Conservative part of the Party, and all 3 of them lost doing this.

The fact is that appealing to Conservatives is the only way to get elected as a republican....

You need a strong pro-Life person to lead the ticket....Strong church-goer....and with a great history of supporting Conservative issues.

In other words.....No More Mitt Romneys!

this time around I see Bush leading the ticket.

will Bush pick Mitt as the VP running mate?....I dont think so.
However I do see Mitt picked to be named the Sec of State should Bush win.

as it turned out...Bush fell completely apart during the next election, and well...Mitt tried very hard to steal the lead spot on the ticket a bunch of times.

As for why Bush failed?...how could a guy who had well over 130 million to spend , ending up with only 3 people to vote for him at the convention?......thats a good question for big brains to answer.

What actually happened is that a revolution happened within the Party and that forces connected to the rise of the tea party wing were able to take over the lead spot on the ticket against the will of the establishment of the Party leadership.

In this election I ended up strongly supporting Trump from the moment he announced his run, and so this has been the first time I have supported a guy who won the whole show.
This did cause me a loss of a few Facebook friends, as not only Liberals but also many conservatives considered Trump to be a joke,,,,,until it was clear he had won it all.


right now I believe Trump is off to a good start, and look forward to the next few years

the key thing to watch in this next election will be the push to keep conservatives OUT of the race to lead the ticket.
last time we have 5 or 6 good conservatives in the race and they split the vote and allowed Mitt to win...
