We've been saying and doing that insanity for 40 years.
As someone more prescient than I just said above - its like being in Romania in 1938 and having to choose between the Nazis and Stalin.
We're effed any way you choose. No - one is NOT better than the other and the GOP-e is actually WORSE for Conservatism than Marxist enemies we KNOW who are our enemies.
We have to think both short-term and long-term, and decide whether to do it gradually or all at once (if it were possible). Long-term we certainly need to get rid of the worst GOPes and replace them with conservatives. But it doesn’t make sense to throw away a good position to gamble for the optimum. Too many did that re Romney, and gave a tyrant in training another 4 years to destroy our country.
