Cowchips. Look at what's going on out there. There is enough back-stabbing going on from both sides to make this a bloodbath for conservatives/Republicans, probably like '64, or worse. All I have ever done on these threads is appeal to people's common sense, which sadly seems to be lacking around here, to focus on and fight the real enemy, the one who threatens the existence of the Republic.
FWIW, if Hunter is the nominee, I will support him. A darned sight better choice than Hillary. Once we have our nominee, we'd better support him/her, because if we don't, the ice will be melting right under our feet.
You have a weak understanding of history. From Goldwater’s 1966 interview with Lee Edwards:
"The reason I attracted only 39% of the people who voted is because it wasn't Barry Goldwater who was running, it was a caricature of him, built by Governor Scranton and Governor Rockefeller, in the primaries, and then aided and abetted by Romney, Keating, Javits etc, in the general. I was defeated, frankly, before I was nominated. To tell you the truth, we knew this from the polls, in fact, the day of the nomination, only 20% of the people were for me and 80% were for Johnson, and the fact that I almost doubled my appeal and cut his down by the same number is the source of some meager satisfaction. But I hope that the Republican Party never again so destroys its candidate that the candidate has no chance."
They tried to do the same to Reagan. Find me a case where conservatives have been as destructive to the Party nominee.
