Drat, if only we had all gotten behind that lying Socialist piece of excrement Willard, he’d have won ! Hate to disappoint you, Eric, I don’t drink. When the GOP gives me and millions of Conservatives the middle finger, they can stick it. If the bad guys can storm events and functions to further an evil agenda, why can’t the good guys do so for a good one ? The good guys stopped an execrable RINO Governor in my state from foisting an illegal income tax by literally storming the capitol building. It actually worked, Eric. But I guess for some folks, they just prefer getting it right in the backdoor, over and over again, and asking for more.
They aren't really being controlled by brain wave rays emanating from Karl Rove's garage, you know.
This idea that there is a tiny core of moderates in the GOP who repeatedly force moderate candidates upon an overwhelming majority of hardcore conservative voters is not helpful. It encourages complacency and then paranoia.
I think it would be far more productive to ask "Why don't conservative candidates win 90% or more of registered Republican primary votes??" and then get to work from there.
