In reply to the discussion: Top GOP Senator Says "If Romney loses Michigan, We Need a New Candidate" [View all]kemah

The GOP candidates are pretty much have the same agenda. so, it really doesn't matter who wins the GOP primaries. The crowd applauding for their agenda pretty much tells you where their heads are at. They can get the pick of the GOP litter, and they will still lose.
Their actions on the state level have pretty much awaken the populace to their anti middle class and their worship for the 1% at all costs. The payroll tax holiday debate, says that tax cut for the working class very bad idea, but tax cut to an unemployed person making $52,000 per hour is a great idea and it will pay for itself in the Cayman Islands. How can you run on that agenda?

You're right, they know they won't win. Everything now is geared to winning races down the ticket.

Look for a third party candidate (Paul, Trump, etc..) to jump in if that happens.
