The Republicans Are Missing Some Logic

Here are two main arguments made in the Republican Primary:
          1 - No higher taxes on job creators. Do not punish the incredibly wealthy by making them pay more than their share. The 1% do NOT get unequal treatment by the government, or society.

          2 - Do not trust the elite. Down to Earth 'average Joes' are the core of American society and values.

And then there is Mitt Romney. A rich 'job creator' that deserves to be treated like everyone else, and use his money how he sees fit. This is the type of guy who usually wins (or pays for) some Republican's support. But since Romney is using his finances to fight his competitors and buy negative ads, part two of the conservative ideology is coming out. As an elite career politician, liberal New Englander, big bad boss man millionaire, Romney is the enemy. He is the bully beating up on the rest of the poor, humble (but actually very rich themselves,) truly American candidates.
So, the problem comes between two of the demographics that give Republicans some of their most staunch supporters. There are the upper class, and the lower class, and candidates have to pander to both. Between the two mentioned ideas, they can (somewhat irrationally,) reach both the richest and poorest citizens of America.

Since everybody loves the underdog, it might not be a bad strategy. Especially since their rich supporters know the ‘down with the businessman’ routine, is just all talk.
