Instead of four million conservatives going fishing as they did in 2012,

I'd like to see a source on that.

six to eight million could just not show up to vote in 2016

Defeating libs means defeating the GOP-e - and if we can't do that in the primaries we'll have to do it in the general election.

It’s true that millions of conservatives opted not to vote for President in 2012 but it wasn’t 4 million, it was 6 million.

Michael Barone and other post-election analysts zeroed in on the cause of Romney’s failure to pull a victory and it was laid on the blue collar conservative Perot demographic as well as Reagan Democrats. That conservative demographic never votes republican or democrat, they vote conservative.

In the post-election analysis, the analysts were trying to understand what went wrong in the projections of a Romney win. Pollsters had projected the blue collar conservative demographic as voting for Romney in a protest vote against Obama. But it didn’t happen that way; they voted for neither.

But we can take heart because those blue collar conservatives will be voting en masse for Ted Cruz. But the democrat party knows this and this is one reason why they are pushing so hard for illegal amnesty.
