Maybe I’m wrong, but I won’t vote for the lesser of two evils. I would rather have no one than to give another spineless person power within the GOP system. All that does is further dilute any power conservatives might have within the GOP.
I would rather have no one than increase the denominator.
Conservatives/GOP = x%
Conservatives/(GOP +1 more RINO) = y%
Y is smaller than X.
...thus by voting for the “lesser of two evils” you are destroying any chance for conservatism in the GOP...in the long run.
Of course saving the conservative voice in the GOP is probably a bridge too far.
Maybe candidates like O'Donnell, Mourdock, Etc. did what they did to get attention, since they got absolutely no help or money from the Republican Party. They were punished because the "people" wanted them, not the GOPe,
