Very close to what I meant. Their opponents may or may not be more conservative, but getting some votes in the primary will encourage people who are much more conservative to run against these entrenched encumbents in the future.
And I will support B achus and Shelby in the general election.
Candidate A in race X getting votes has no predictive qualities regarding any other candidate in any other race.
I understand the message you were trying to convey and the result you’re expecting that vote to yield, but there’s no cause/effect relationship there.
Your point is valid about pseudo-conservatives (broadly, if not specifically in these races), but you’re trying to affect an outcome that has no relation.
