And here's the new ad campaign: Join the Party of One!!

I have a better idea. Why don't we get Hillary to re-register as a Republican. That way, all the Commies, Dems and Libs will vote for her because they love her policies, but at the same time you and all your other pals who want to "just win" will support her as well since she'll be the "Republican with the best chance of winning!." Everybody wins!

I wouldn't support Rudy solely because he might have the best chance of winning (although, since this is an election, one has to wonder about the wisdom of supporting someone who has NO chance of winning).

However, that is quite different from not supporting Rudy solely because he is not on point with me on a single issue.

You are accusing Rudy supporters of reasoning, "The heck with his positions---if he can win, let's vote for him!" That's way too simplistic. The idea is to see how much you can get off your wish list by voting for a guy who also has a chance to win. It's a balance and it's absurd to suggest people who are not single-issue voters want to win even at the cost of ALL their political goals (as in electing the Hildabeast).

IOW, winning the election isn't everything, but it is one thing.

OTOH, those who refuse to vote for an otherwise electable candidate because he can't/won't deliver on some litmus test issue treat *winning* on their issue as everything and *losing* an election as nothing.

Those are the folks who, in practical effect, truly are "voting" for Hillary, not the people who realize that politics involves some compromise and, further, that it's irresponsible and poor stewardship to deliberately throw away one's vote.

Finally, to say people here who don't agree with you would vote for Hillary if she registered as a Republican is not only beyond the pale, but ridiculous, in the fullest sense of the word.
