The idea of running for political office is to convince voters to vote for you, not tell them to get out of the party.
The only way Republicans win in purple states is to be united, elect the most conservative candidate possible which would immensely better than any Democrat.
I wrote: What you don't do is tell the conservative non-aligned schlubs like me who vote Republican that only the Democrats have a team that plays to win.
The take-away is that RepukeLickings aren't team players, because they don't have to be. They'll get elected by us schlubs who dislike Republicans and hate Democrats, because "lesser of two evils".
They're easily elected in the red districts, which comprise most of the country.
Those days are drawing to a close, because President Trump has shown us what the RepukeLickings REALLY are.
Lazy, non-team-player Assistant Democrat clowns.
