If everybody refuses to ever vote for anybody they don’t agree with, nobody will win (except the other side, who at this point will vote for anybody who will support their leadership).
Eventually, they will get tired of not getting their way, and will start voting for the “right kind” of people, while the republicans will realise they need to win elections to do anything, and the tide will turn back.
But anybody who thinks that conservatives of the type that we support here are in the majority already is ignoring facts. We aren’t even a huge majority in the Republican party, which itself isn’t a majority of the voting public.
Ronald Reagan won because, while he was a conservative, he also appealed to people who were not conservative.
Anyway, you make the typical mistake of confusing candidates with voters. You want conservative candidates. In order for conservative candidates to win, you need the VOTES of the social conservative voters.
Which means at least that you can’t call them idiots, and tell them to go away. It really means that, if you can’t get your candidate through the primary, you have to be willing to vote for THEIR candidate; otherwise you have no reason to expect them to vote for YOUR candidate.
