The thing that frosts me the most is that they also convince the Republicans we can't be trusted. Politicans won't stick their necks out for constituencies they cannot trust to back them up on Election Day.

It's called disloyalty. If they don't get 100% of what they want they conveniently forget everything you HAVE done for them and stay home. Disloyalty is NOT a conservative trait. Who do they think they're fooling?

Loyalty is a reciprocal relationship. The two of your are peeved this morning because not all Republicans are willing to accept the servility you find comfortable.
You were warned, you and your heroes ignored the warnings, and there is now the forewarned uncertainty in the GOP coalition. So the two of you are looking for someone, anyone, to blame.
Put the blame for the uncertainty where it belongs: on those in the GOP who ignored the warnings. After you're done with blaming each other, look to the White House.
Then, when you've got all of that out of your systems, quit being so divisive and understand that if you want a big mandate in November you'll need a big coalition. "Shut up and vote" isn't going to get it done.
I know, I know, calling folks "unappeasables," "liberals," "malcontents," etc. is a precious security blanket, but it's time to get serious about this election.

At least we can agree on something!

You're one to talk about NOT being divisive. To my knowledge, you have TWICE stated a refusal to support Rosario Marin if she were to win the Republican nomination to oppose Barbara Boxer for having the temerity to support the President's policies on immigration.
