They will.
And the conservative purists, who swear they will never vote for a moderate, will have to abandon their ideological purity
We won't.
Anybody thought of the possibility that we may have FOUR candidates for President: GOPe candidate that they select; Donald Trump; RAT selected candidate and Bernie Sanders?
That presumes that SWMNBN is in jail.
I have seen and met lots of people who accuse others of being purists.
Conclusion: "conservative purists" are as real as unicorns and the Easter Bunny, and of use to those who need to believe in them in the same way unicorns and the Easter Bunny serve needy human fantasy.
First, Trump has shown an ability to move the approve/disapprove numbers in his favor. If memory serves the highest "will not support" number belongs to the Man With No Name, Jeb. And the more Trump speaks, the more support he gets.
Goldberg says Hillary has 90% loyalty among RATs, Trump 75% among Repubs? Conservatives? Tough to say. Will that number increase? I believe so. Will Hillary's support go down? Undoubtedly.
Moreover, what I believe is a much better question... How many Repubs would ever vote for Hillary? And how many RAT votes would a Trump receive? To ask the question is to answer the question.
And the last question: would Hillary or a different RAT nominee get more support from so-called independents? Trump or another Repub nominee?
I'm not buying what he's selling.
I don’t care if the White House goes to a “republican” big governmetn liberal. What matters is that it go to a small-government conservative of whatever party. This is not a football game where someone I despise can put on the right jersey and earn my cheers.
RINO purists have been costing us elections for a long time. How about running a Conservative winner for a change ?
