Even here on FR. Every one of these people either voted Romney, Demanded others abandon principle and vote GOP no matter what or called for lesser evil voting or an analogue term for it.
Without exception. One of the three. Cruz, who stands behind his beliefs even when others disagree, flies in the face of that. Ergo he is a hated purist.
I remember that very well back in 2012 if you opposed to Mitt Romney you were some how a bigoted Mormon hater.
You right, they bash Ted Cruz but yet if Jeb Bush gets the nomination ( God forbid ) they will tell us to tow the party line.
