Divide and conquer works. Take a good look at how the coverage of the immigration issue was purpose designed to split conservatives over a domestic issue, enabling Liberals to pick up seats in the House and Senate.
I saw the coverage, and I recognized it for what it was - a liberal stratagem. Immigration is like Social Security, is like Welfare Reform, is like Tax Reform... They are highly controversial, no-traction political issues that divide conservatives over little details on how to implement the reforms, but which politicians try and avoid doing anything with because it usually spells disaster when the MSM attacks whatever reforms are proposed. And in the end, conservatives get so riled up about it, that they prefer to fight one another than join forces to stop liberals from advancing their agenda.
There's a time to fight conservatives over the details on which reforms take precedence, and how to accomplish and implement those reforms. Now is not the time to bicker. Conservative standards for candidates are so high that it is difficult finding candidates who pass the smell test for ethics, honor, and honesty.
We keep on going back to the adage, "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough." After the primaries, we must absolutely put aside our differences and join forces on the basis that even if the winning candidate isn't perfect, at least he must be good enough.

Your entire post 11 is right on the money and excellent!
You are very astute that you figured this out. So did I and I am in complete agreement with your assessment.
It is disastrous that other conservatives can't seem to figure it out, even when it's all laid out for them.
I hope someday you'll run for president, preferably before the Democrats succeed to totally destroy the US, while the conservatives are proudly "preserving their purity".
Gosh, I feel just like poor Diogenes.
I will not sacrifice my ethics to vote for someone just because they have the Republican label next to their name.

Bravo. Someone who gets it.
