Do you honestly think the flukes, the homosexuals, the union goons, or the EBT card holders would have voted for a Reagan Conservative over the goodies from Obama? We haven't won the popular vote since 1992, except once when we were still united in the WOT. Since then, what many have said about democracies has unfolded, in that the voters are voting government money for themselves, and those voters now outnumber Conservatives.
Even if Hillary isn't the nominee, we still need to win Americans over to Conservative values if we ever expect to get another Reagan.
