To win the election a “conservative” has to appeal to independents and Reagan democrats, as well as to conservatives. Many conservatives seemed to not have made up their mind if they either want to win or to back someone who is pure but unelectable.
Was Reagan “unelectable”? I suppose Guliani, Romney are not though..huh?!
Absolutely and that is why the Purists will sit whether Mitt, Rudy or Fred get it. They dream of Hunter, Tancredo, even Paul but someone who will actually win, get some down ticket people elected so the Dems don’t sweep Congress, and even put 3-4 Pub issues into being such as a strong foreign policy, border help, tax cuts and SCOTUS choices, is cursed and by golly, they will never never never never get their sacred vote!! So the rest of us get Her Highness and 8 years of Dem control or more plus a SCOTUS which is changed forever. Talk about silly inane reasoning.
I’ve been shouting the same thing for months... Reagan appealed to indies and moderate dems... Even if by some miracle, Hunter gets the nod- which he won’t, may not even get 2pc- how is he going to appeal to others? Answer- he won’t... He can’t... He’d get beaten like a drum, and worse...some folks here are just plain delusional and looney
