The fact you seem to ignore or perhaps don’t know is that conservatives could not muster the raw political power to prevail to nominate a candidate.

I knew what was going to happen because I could see irrational conservatives right here beating their chests about their principles and dividing the conservative vote on issues that have fallen out of the mainstream.

It is fashionable, even doctrinaire consensus among many , to blame the GOPe. In reality, fragmented conservatives touting their own special interests that lost.

Unless conservatives can drop the nonsense and coalesce around the most conservative candidate, likely a governor, we will lose again.

Agreed. But that just means that whoever DOES get elected is probably just the lesser of evils. If I don't stand on principle, I won't stand for anything. I refuse to hold my nose and vote for the lesser of evils. I've been doing that for the better part of 20 some odd years. All it does is push the party further to the left. That may be ok with you, but it's the very antithesis of everything I stand for and believe, and I refuse to do it any longer.
