>>McCain will not survive the primary process. The base hates him.
Unless a bunch of conservatives get in and split the vote enough that McCain ekes through. In any primary where the independents can vote in the Republican primary, McCain will get a big boost.
But you're right if the race is McCain versus one conservative in a Republican primary, McCain loses.
Are conservatives dumb enough to allow McCain to win it??
Judging from the TN Senate primary, I'd say yup...
The 100 percenters are such purists.
Conservative candidate A is 100% prolife but only 95% RKBA
Conservative candidate B is 100% RKBA but only 95% pro-life
RINO Candidate is 50% RKBA and 50% prolife
Guess who wins the nomination?
