But my biggest concern is the scorched earth, making candidates unacceptable, instead of making yours more attractive... is going to lead to a 3rd party candidate

Personally I have been very open about the fact that if a liberal/liar like Rudy/Romney get nominated I will vote for some third option. I don't vote for liberals regardless of party, and Romney is such a fraud it's disgusting.

If you don't like it -- well, I don't care. You're welcome to vote for Hillary if you so desire -- that's your business. But I will continue to promote my view and publicize the good, bad, and ugly about each candidate.

Rudy and Romney aren't even close to being in the same ballpark. Your calculation that they are is misguided and simply wrong.
