Looks like Conservacide voters did us in again. The Death of the Tea Party and Conservatism is coming primily because we’re splitting votes in every primary. It just keeps happening, and nobody wants to budge because theirs is the ONE TRUE Conservatice.
Some of these folks running had no chance in hell - not a chance in HELL. Conservacide voters blew their votes on them, anyway. Now we’ll get a moderate in a Red State.
The same will happen when we run a bunch of one-percenters again in 2016 who refuse to ever drop out. Then we’ll get Jeb Bush or Chris Christie because Ben Carson/Rick Santorum/some other guy who can’t possibly win is the “only real” Conservative.
re: “Conservacide voters blew their votes on them, anyway. Now we’ll get a moderate in a Red State.”
Amen, and amen, and amen. And, on top of it, they’ll feel righteous and courageous for doing so. Some would rather have the country go down in flames than change their view.
don’t forget some of these candidates are:
1. paid to split the vote (see McCain/Thompson/Huckabee)
2. KNOW they will lose and just want to make a name for their own personal gain
3. crazy
