Look, the issue with those people is that the first thing they're interested in is winning the election.

Yes, they foolishly want to win and not have Hilary or Bernie Sanders select the next 3 or 4 SCOTUS justices.

So they almost always gravitate to the candidate they see as the most electable. Most of them would agree that they'd personally prefer a more conservative candidate, but they've become defeatist and no longer believe a strong conservative can win.

And they aren't fooled by Trump into thinking he is a "strong conservative." There is no evidence to support that theory, and lots to debunk it.

I don't disagree with you, and I wasn't even saying they were wrong.

My point was that we are so eager to jump into circular firing squad formation that anybody who disagrees is immediately labelled a RINO, or assumed to be part of some evil elitist plot to dominate the world.

The reality is that a great many of these sisagreements are based on perceived electability. That's not something for which such venomous attacks are warranted.
