Winning the GOP Primary

C. Edmund Wright writes in The American Thinker about what it takes to become the GOP presidential nominee.

The most critical Republican primary, at least for non-establishment candidates, is the Rush Limbaugh-Drudge Report-Breitbart-Mark Levin-Sean Hannity-Glenn Beck internet message board primary.  For a conservative base candidate to win the nomination, he or she must carry most of the above precincts.

The some 30-40 million people who make up those combined audiences and readerships will be impacted and educated by these venues.

It is critical to win this primary, because those are the voters who turn out for non-establishment candidates in primaries. They just are.

This “primary” matters. A lot. Jeb might be able to win without it (though I doubt it), but no one else can.

Two thoughts: Jeb won't get much positive coverage in that enthusiast venue. And we do our small part at COTTonLINE, too.
