Predicted Next GOP Presidential Candidate

[TaraJo]

There is no way that Santorum will win the nomination he has no chance of winning the presidency and most GOP registered voters are more interested in winning that electing the extreme candidate which is why McCain and Romney were nominated.

It certainly hasn't stopped them from supporting other extreme candidates at various points. I mean, there was a point when Michelle Bachmann was a front runner and even Herman Cain had his moment in the sun. In fact, if Cain hadn't completely fucked up his handling of a scandal popping up mid-campaign, he likely could have been their nominee and he was honestly less prepared to be president than anyone else in the GOP primaries.

The movers and shakers who actually understand politics want a moderate candidate who can win elections, but when it comes to the base voters, with the frothy rage Faux News, Infowars and Rush Limbaugh have gotten them into, they'll instantly reject any sign of deviance from their rigid ideology. They're going to have to let up on their extreme rhetoric or else they're going to create an extreme base that scares away moderates who actually decide elections.
