No games. You don’t want to face up to supernatural reality, and appear to be embracing the way the devil wants the world to be versus how God wants it to be.

BTW, that alleged quote from Reagan (apparently from him to James Baker) is a favorite of RINOs. The apparently-correct form (very few sources available for either form) is somewhat better:
Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn’t get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying—go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I’m trying to get … I’ll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.
And the context is to get it out of his opposition, then majority Democrats, and that’s a high number to wrest out of them as I hope everyone here knows. The point is not to have to try to get it out of the Republicans, but you are here telling us to settle for a mere 10 percent out of a RINO rather than what Reagan said he would fight for out of the Democrats proper.

Since Red China is pushing the philosophies of Kung Fu Tzu (Romanized as Confucius) particularly in the USA, I will take that with a grain of salt. But with respect to his quote herein referenced, a RINO is very far from a flawed diamond—more like a rhinestone.

Yes, games. For your game to be correct, you would have to assert that my premise was supernatural. It is not. Humanity is utterly flawed, hence my point.

And no one is suggesting to settle for 10%. You are suggesting to throw out 96.8% in favor of 6.8%.

That’s the reality.

You can stamp your feet if you like, but CA-21 will not elect a Ronald Reagan. That’s reality.
