Alright I'll spell it out for you. So say Huckabee thinks he's "gypped" in trying to win the nomination. Because he's been "gypped" he doesn't care about "making the party machine happy," thus through his actions in staying in the race further dividing the party (hence the "screwing over")
If Huckabee actually believed there was legitimate cause for concern, would it really be better for him to just smile and accept the result?
The problem, in my opinion, isn't just with the Washington Caucus results, it's with the fact that he's staying in election to begin with. After Super Tuesday he would have to win around 80% of all the remaining delegates.....virtually impossible. He should just accept defeat and drop out because there is no way he's ever going to win.
If he drops out, what do the Republicans who don't support him do? I'm of the mind that giving voters a choice is never a bad thing.
Yeah giving the voters a choice is a good idea, but the nature of the primaries is that (certainly in this year) Super Tuesday has the most say in where the party in question is going. With such a large McCain win by a vast majority, and I stated before Huckabee's chances on winning, giving the voters a choice is almost a moot point. Sure people can vote for Huckabee, but what good will it do if he doesn't have a chance on winning? This is the exact reason Romney dropped out. He wanted to unite the Party early to give it a better chance for November.
You honestly believe that bulls*** from Romney?
It wasn't such a large McCain win, it's just he won winner-take-all states.
And remember, it's not Huckabee himself that is keeping Huckabee in. It's all the
Republicans that are voting for him. So if a majority of Republicans had your viewpoint, they would be voting for McCain, and they're not.
So what's the latest news on this?
