Who do you think will be the Republican nominee?

[Oakvale]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mitt Romney.

It's ridiculous that the most obvious paper tiger since Ed Muskie is apparently going to cruise to the nomination, maybe even carry all fifty states, while being disliked by a large majority of the party and never cracking 30% in the national polls, but that's seemingly where we are.

[Lief 🗽]

I'm not really entirely sure how the Republican nominating contest turned out to be so full of losers and incompetents that a weird, unlikeable, flip-flopping Mormon who passed state-level Obamacare went on to win all fifty states.

But like you said, that's where we are.

Yeah, it's a perfect storm of incompetence that's somehow lead to a Romney coronation. If virtually any of the hyped potential candidates who declined to run (bar Palin, I guess) had jumped in they'd have mopped the floor with Romney and we'd be talking about Thune or whoever. Hilarious.

[RogueBeaver]

Romney. Never doubted it.

not not Mitt Romney

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Romney unfortunately... but he will have my vote in the general election

[Politico]

The only opinion that matters on this matter is the opinion of the jmfcsts. Is it finally a done deal?

[tmthforu94]

MITT ROMNEY WILL BE THE NOMINEE. Can you say about time he's  been running for 5years. He wants it bad and conservatives don't want to give it to him and they don't trust him. But he's leading in all the polls and no true conservative and match him dollar 4 dollar.

Amen!

Romney, unfortunately, is all but locked in at this point. At least Obama will beat him like how Bush beat Kerry (and for similar reasons) and we can be free of him forevermore.

Actually, Romney is going to be the new Reagan who drives your ilk crazy for eight long, prosperous years. You'll never understand or accept it just like you never understood or accepted Reagan.

[Oakvale]

For what it's worth, while I think Romney's a lock for the nomination, I don't think he'll win in November. Or even that it will be particularly close.

But, really, Newt, you couldn't even try to run a competent campaign? All it would have taken is winning Iowa and then South Carolina on the ensuing momentum.

[RogueBeaver]

Disciplined Newt Gingrich? That's a contradiction.

You never understood why Reagan fundamentally ed up the country.

Liberal myth. What we're doing right now shows you what type of progress we've had in the past thirty years. Look around your place at all of the innovations that have made your life more comfortable than things were in 1980.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Obama will be sad that after all his sucking up to Wall Street, they're just going to support nominee Mitt Romney.

[Lief 🗽]

Mitt Romney is going to lose handily. He's an awful candidate.

To understand Reagan was not to accept him and to accept Reagan was not to understand him.

Name any thirty-year period of history in the past three or four centuries of which this has not been true. The technological sector and the economy as a whole aren't always the same story (indeed, technology, in terms of what was being made if not what was most widely available, was advancing at a fairly rapid pace during the Great Depression). Material was void; void, material. The Reagan boom was not real. We realized that around 2007.

Oh, and also:

Yes, yes Reagan is responsible for every single one of them.

He was a great man.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

To be fair, one of those toy ads eventually led to a show which was a good 22 minute toy ad.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Romney, most probably.

[Tender Branson]

Romney, due to the unwillingness of Gingrich and Perry to drop out and endorse Santorum.

[Oakvale]

I'd really love to know the reasoning of those who've voted "not Mitt Romney". I mean, I'm not thrilled about it, but I don't see how anyone but Romney ends up winning the nomination at this point.

[Marston]

Romney will win. That's become quiet clear. I suppose he could still lose SC but that would just delay the inevitable. Santorum just doesn't have the campaign infrastructure to compete and Newt/Perry are becoming increasingly irrelevant.
