No, we should, as thinking conservatives, try to elect the candidate with the most solid conservative record. Promises mean zip.
And we've all seen how effective "holding them to it" is after electing unworthy candidates.
The critical issues in this election don't fit into the old liberal/conservative boxes. The Dims, with their open borders policies, are building toward a long term electoral majority. They cannot win without a big portion of the population being poor, Third World immigrants.
As thinking conservative, we better elect people who will reverse those policies rather than elect more who will be beholden to the Cheap Labor Express donor class and help the Dims achieve their long term majority.
A "solid conservative record" means they've probably been voting for open borders, amnesty and one-sided trade agreements. All the "conservative" issues will be lost and in the past if we keep electing such solid conservatives.
We need conservatives who fight for US sovereignty and prosperity and not globlalist "conservatives", of which we have far too many.
