I was discussing the failure of conservatives to vote for a "RINO" because they aren't happy with 100% of the candidate's positions.How can you expect anyone to vote for someone who you do not agree with 100% of the time?
Is this what you really meant?

How can you expect anyone to vote for someone who you do not agree with 100% of the time? Because I'm pragmatist. I have never, ever in all my adult life voted for someone with whom I agreed 100% on all the issues. I don't think that's unusual. My positions on issues are not in lock-step with my leaders. I am an individual with my own personal views, so I vote for the person with whom I am most closely aligned. But I never, ever refuse to have my vote cast and counted in a national election.
