2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAnyone who votes for Mitt Romney, has to be a nut, loser or an idiot!
Given all his inconsistencies, lies and flip-flops, how can any sane rational person vote for him? How can any sane rational person endorse him? How can any sane rational person nominate him for POTUS? What is wrong with the Republican party? They are going from bad to worse!

(482 posts)I too am beside myself in disbelief over some friends and relatives that are voting for this guy. They just don't seem to get it and I just don't understand them. Some of them are very smart and very thoughtful but when it comes to the current state of politics they are just plain crazy. If someone can explain this please do.

I should've challenged him when he said that.

Now that former candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are endorsing Mitt Romney to be the Republican nominee for president, the GOP is working to get the rank and file to fall in line.
That's especially important in swing states like Florida. But in the primary, Romney struggled in the Panhandle of the Sunshine State a bastion of conservative voters. And it might take more convincing for them to really get behind the former Massachusetts governor.
Back in January, the day before the Florida primary, retired schoolteacher Jane Hayes was dressed in red, white and blue at a Pensacola rally for Gingrich. She said at the time that she could not support Romney.
"Republicans that are conservative need to get the message to the establishment that don't give us weak candidates," she said then. "You gave us McCain and he was weak; you gave us Dole and he was weak; you gave us Romney and he's weak; and somewhere along the line we have to stop and say, 'No more.' "

(34,589 posts)no real relief in site. Voting for Romney will likely make things worse, but any glimmer of hope is pretty attractive to desperate people.
