Now I don’t care what anyone says about Christine, that she ran twice before and lost or was too conservative - the fact of the matter is that she won the primary election fair and square - that means you either get behind her regardless or you don’t run your mouth off about her behind her back to the liberal news media.

Discourage them to the point that they retire or jump parties.
