“many conservatives are purists”

And many others just draw the line with public announcements that they are going to “crush” the conservatives. If having a problem with what was done in Mississippi or with McTurtle’s anti-tea party hostility means I’m a purist... I guess so.

But the flip side of that is that anyone who holds their nose through that is not a conservative, but just a GOPe cheerleader.

homoerotic imagery..It ain't me

I stand corrected. You were blaming others for your failures.

Why is it that everything is always somebody else's fault with you Democrats Republicans?

No blaming. No insult.

Why should I support a Republican over a conservative?

The Democrats are going to get trounced!

And the fact is, even the Mexican's in Texas are conservative.

Romney despised Reagan, left the party because of Reagan, probably didn’t vote for Reagan according to him “Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.”

Romney became a supporter, fundraiser, and voter for democrats in the early 90s, and didn’t return to the GOP until Clinton was in office and Reagan/Bush was over.

Abbott didn't have to run a 'strong' campaign, Wendy never had a chance.

I believe she will be beaten by 20 pts.

Even many in her own Party had rejected her nomination due to her pro-abortion stance.

because the republicans don’t do irreperable damage to the country, and the democrats do..

As for me, I vote against the more dangerous candidate, if that is my only option in the general..in the primary, I try to get the candidate that is the most freedom loving, small government and yet still pro defense.

for instance.. I’ll vote for Walker, Cruz or possibly Rand Paul in the primary...

However, against Hillary or Warren, I will vote for ANY republican in the general election...if nothing more that due to the SCOTUS appts.

Hope you are right, but I think she could run stronger than many think.

It will be a very bad night for Democrats next week.

She isn't even liked by great deal of Democrats who voted against her nomination.

Yes, Round Rock. Brushy Creek, an older neighborhood like me. We’re excited to get there.
