There’s a difference between voting in the general and getting good candidates to win a primary. I often hold my nose in the general election and vote R even if the candidate literally makes me sick. McVain in 2008 and FioRINO in 2010 are examples of this.
Who would you rather see win a primary... a true blue conservative or an almost-Dimocrat milquetoast traitor?
Retorical question, I presume.
Another thing to consider is that the Democrats make it a point to challenge strongly the most Conservative Republican running. The Dems won’t spend a lot of money trying to defeat a RINO. They will spend a lot of money trying to defeat a Conservative. They don’t have an unlimited amount of money.
Yes, it’s harder for a Conservative to win. But we’ll be ok if there is no Republican running that the Democrats don’t absolutely hate. More Christine O’Donnell’s everywhere.
