But look at the positive side. There ought to be much more room in the Big Tent for you party-above-principles types, what with the exodus of 30%+ of your base--so you'll be able to fit a lot more RINOs into that tent now.

Those third party goofballs that you hobknob around with aren't even polling above 5% in most elections. Where'd you come up with that 30%+ figure besides your head?

Simply amazing that you know me so well that you can state that I "hobknob around" with "third party goofballs" because, actually, that is not the case. In any event, one principled "third party goofball" is worth a hundred of you party-above-principle GOP Big Tent RINOs.

"Where'd you come up with that 30%+ figure besides your head?"

That 30% is the lowball side of the numbers usually cited as constituting the conservative base. These numbers are all over the place, but seem to hover anywhere between a low of 30% to a high of 40%. If you possess more credible and authoritative numbers, lets have them. Remember, I said "credible and authoritative, which excludes RNC GOP Big Tent "wish" numbers below 30%.
