I’m so tired of this talk of “circling” the wagons around the GOP. Every election cycle we’re told, in essence, to vote for the lesser of two evils and we end up with an establishment candidate for president like McCain, Dole, and Romney who get hammered in the election. Conservatives gave the GOP huge votes in 2010 and 2014 and for what? Nothing. The House and Senate have done nothing to stop the administration and now you’re giving us a lecture about sticking together. Sorry pal. No way. The establishment of the GOP has said FU to conservatives and wants no part of taking on the president and the Democratic Party. Why then vote for a Republican Party that has no principles, and no BACKBONE to fight the left!!!! If the party splinters or crumbles to ash it’s their fault. You want to keep fighting for that Buckeye then that’s your business. The conservatives, who are keeping the Republican Party afloat, have been made to feel unwelcome and won’t vote anymore for a political party that openly despises them and their ideas.

Agreed, I was tempted to answer this 'lesser of two evil' hack, but then I perused the responses and saw he`s a GOPe bomb thrower.

Go ahead and check this thread out, no responses to good answers like yours. But then again we`ve answered these GOPe sell-outs before, gets tiresome.

I wish like hell we had McCaine or Romney instead of Obama in office
They were were the lesser of the 2 evils

Obama was the greater of the 2 evils.

If you can’t tell the difference I can’t help you

Also we now have plenty of “conservatives” on FR who think GW Bush was evil incarnate

I guess they would be happy with Al Gore or John Kerry

Life is like that ...you don’t always get what you want.

But a bit of discernment doesn’t hurt
