Try to read more.
So if most Republicans know he is a RINO, that would mean he would not win the nomination. If he wins the nomination your theory is proven wrong.

If you read my post, you'll see I've answered your question. The Republican cheerleaders on here have a "anyone but Obama" mindset right now just like many people had a "anyone but a Republican" in 2008. The worst candidates are able to come through at moments of desperation like this

If someone who is not Republican gets the most votes from Republicans, what does that say about the Republican party?

Fact of the matter is, many Republicans will vote for whomever the media pushes on them. Hopefully this time, it will be different.

How about Democrats? Do they vote for whomever the media pushes on them?

So what does that say about Republicans? If they can be manipulated by the media to nominate a candidate who is not really a Republican. If they choose a non Republican over a true Republican?

It won't, that's how the mind of the right works. They stayed glued to fox and other hard right propaganda outlets and just agree and follow whatever they are told.

Of course. The average liberal have been politically lobotomized just as much as the average neo-con. This isn't an insult to anyone, of course. But people just like to sleep a bit too much, and refuse to see the brighter picture. Democrats are worse than the Republicans, in fact, because big government is central to their beliefs, whereas for Republicans the small government rhetoric is there, but at the same time, it's being suppressed. At least conservatives are open to the idea of smaller government, even if they haven't waken up to the fact that the GOP talks one way, and walks another. It's really time to stop being conned, wouldn't you agree?
