This is the same stupid argument that McCain and Romney used.

“Electable” Republican candidates lose because they alienate tens of millions of disaffected conservative voters who end up staying home instead of voting for GOPe candidates.

Only by appealing to Evangelicals, Tea Partiers, and Constitutionalists will a Republican presidential candidate win the crucial swing states of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

It isn't, and you are foaming at the mouth. Further, it was you and other Trumpbots that first of all claimed that Ted Cruz was not electable but Trump was, when in reality, it's the other way round.

The only real conservative running is Cruz not Trump. Trump is every bit as liberal as Romney was.

I doubt that. I find it hard to believe "tens of millions" of conservatives stay home.

However, I can't think of a single "celebrity" candidate who lost their first general election.
