And on the flip-side... had every Republican voted for a real conservative in the primary’s, instead of settling for the ‘electable’ candidate - we wouldn’t have even *HAD* this problem.

Which just proves Thomas Paine correct.

That is a counter-factual that needs to be proven this century. It could be that America has changed after one generation has passed and like Tocqueville warned, might already have discovered that they can "Vote themselves largesse from the public treasury".

We will not know if Paine has been proven correct this century until we get another candidate like Reagan (if we do ).
