Those in the second category, they’d like a more conservative candidate, but will vote for whoever gets the GOP nomination, are actually helping assure that they will never get what they want in a candidate.


The writer nailed it. If conservatives put party over principle, they will be to the GOP what the blacks are to the Dems.

True, but the conservative candidate most would support is un-electable.

Hunter's campaign ended with the CPAC poll. It just is not admitting it is dead yet.

I beg to differ. Blacks continue to vote for the dems because they can be taken for granted.

If millions of us refuse to vote for a RINO because we won't be taken for granted, the party will have to notice if it loses.

I'd rather lose for four years, than lose all conservative influence on the party forever.

Sometimes, you have to lose a battle in order to place yourself in a better strategic position to win the war.

"will be?" They already are. How many have you heard on this site tell conservatives to just shut up and pull the lever, and then blame any losses on the conseratives that supposedly didn't vote.
