Our our next guest wants to see an end of the primary -- so the party can focus on being President Obama.
He's endorsing Mitt Romney now -- -- Dick Morris Fox News political analyst former Clinton advisor author of the book revolt.
-- patriots guide -- -- defeat Obama and repeal his socialist program.
Dick -- great to have you with us this -- good to -- -- how -- you know I've heard this I'm going to ask it anyway but.
You know I've heard this nonsense about what state is most important for Romney blob blob -- I know what's what's at stake for Romney in.
In Mississippi and Alabama despite the obvious.
Well.
If if Gingrich wins those states are Santorum wins that states this process is gonna go on and on and on.
And the only way that Santorum or Gingrich.
Can possibly win this nomination.
Is on the floor of the convention at the end of August him which means we won't have a nominee until just before September 1.
And sixty days is not enough to -- an incumbent president it's not enough to mount a campaign.
And I would remind voters in Mississippi and Alabama that the four times -- have been nominations.
Decided on the floor.
All it since 1960 all four candidates lost.
Gold border Humphrey McGovern and -- And we are absolutely throwing away our chances of victory in my judgment.
If we do not all rally behind the only candidate that can win this.
Before the conventional lyrics -- here here I'm calling for your rally for voters -- to wider than -- -- you singer but he should throw her Romney.
To vote to vote for Romney.
Not because I'm saying he's the best candidate and I think he's very good.
Companies better than the others I'm not -- -- is.
But he's the only candidate who can win this nomination.
Before the convention.
Well I think what we have major phenomena -- -- -- That sounds like it makes him a better candidate that agrees -- what are your way out he's the only one they can win.
It's not that -- -- Santorum can't win per say.
But nobody can win if they're not the candidate until September 1 let me introduce something to the two things that sounds to me like you should be on the phone with that Adelson and and freeze talking about the not spending any more money with those.
But with Santorum and Gingrich -- that sounds like the real problem -- -- I would actually work I would hope they would also realize that everything they give into them.
Is really at this point comparing Obama.
That when Gingrich and -- -- say that going all the way to the convention that's another way of saying we're not gonna beat Obama and they need to face that.
They would have to win 75%.
Of the remaining delegates one of those candidates would have to when three quarters of the delegates.
To wrap this thing up by the time the primaries end on June 6.
I ain't gonna happen I actually don't know all the voting -- a deadlock upset about a lot of things that -- -- the process itself is the result.
You don't have to wait around you may be that this is one of those instances.
If neither -- -- Nor are being locked in a -- of this.
This battle between the two of them.
If they're unwilling to step aside for the party -- party answered some questions.
Secondly if -- you'd -- said that perhaps.
Romney himself even as you endorse him isn't the best candidate.
And does all of that have to be resolved.
Through the process of the polls.
Well.
The view the actual primary progress I mean I'm not so I did not endorse Romney or send -- or Gingrich before Super Tuesday.
But after -- changed it became clear to me.
That we -- we can only win the election.
If we all vote for Romney.
Which means we have a candidate in June and we don't have to wait until the very end of arts for convention -- an early July I wouldn't be saying that's.
We would have enough time regardless of -- we -- But it's at the end of August and -- Gingrich Santorum win that primary the big winner is gonna be Barack Obama are.
Divorce is always great to have your view appreciate that -- -- it.
