What an absolutely silly statement! Only if you're looking for "perfect". In this last election, I'd have been happy with "same ballpark" as the Conservative base. Indeed, almost all the other guys were better than McYellowStripe. The problem has been the open primaries combined with a "big tent" philosophy that allows our enemies in, not as Friends converted to Conservatism, but as Enemies bent on supplanting us in our own house.
Remember, as much as we love to idolize the Gipper, he was for amnesty.
As for your second point, would you like a bucket or a bag for Tuesday? I’m carrying a shank because I have to meet up with a professor at an inner city college and there would be the wrong kind of crowd on the bus on the way there. Other than that, I’d join you for the pukefest.
