Let me ask a serious question.
What good does it do to elect a candidate in the primaries, any candidate, if they are destined to lose in the General election?
Here is three realities of Realpolitik elections.
#1, We Conservatives do not decide the outcome. Neither do the Lib-Dems. In any contested election, about 44% of the voters are going to vote for the Dem, about 44% for the Republican. That’s 88% already gone before the campaign starts.
That means the two candidates are fighting for the very few, 12%, of the voters who could go one way or another. Of course, the very conservative candidate can win that 44%, but if he or she does not win more than half of that 12%, they lose.
History proves that far right candidates can win primaries, but if the data shows they will lose the General, they will. Forget about rallying everyone to the Conservative cause to swing that 12%. It doesn’t happen. Angle, O’Donnell and others are prof.
#2. Losing an election is like death. It is permanent. Other than someone buying you a drink for the next few weeks, it has no benefit. ALL IT DOES IS ENSURE THE LIB-DEM IS ELECTED.
#3. Elections have consequences. When elected, Lib-Dems enact laws and policies we all have to suffer under. That is the end result of nominating a unelectable candidate.
We may not like it, but like gravity, it’s reality, and we ignore it at our peril.
The question is silly. Any candidate can win. It is more important to me to defeat RINOs in the primary than to be 100% sure of a general election victory. As a matter of fact I hate moderate passionless globalist RINOs like you more than Democrats. I hope all RINOs lose in the general election. I want to destroy the GOP brand or make them bend to the will of the people. A RINO victory is a defeat to me. Your hate speech can stop, it is falling patriotic ears which means I reject everything you stand for, which is very little apparently.
