If you were the most conservative of a reasonable conservatives, then you only represented 15%-20% of the party.
Perhaps you lost perspective on exactly how much influence your little corner of the party had on the party.
Oh yes it does, bigger & better than ever before! We routed the faux Republicans! The emotional massagers that only mirrored our angst, only deflecting on the issues that were important to us and who were not willing to support a candidate who could bring about real change!
We see you! We now know that you were not authentic.
