Why should I support a Republican over a conservative?
because the republicans don’t do irreperable damage to the country, and the democrats do..
As for me, I vote against the more dangerous candidate, if that is my only option in the general..in the primary, I try to get the candidate that is the most freedom loving, small government and yet still pro defense.
for instance.. I’ll vote for Walker, Cruz or possibly Rand Paul in the primary...
However, against Hillary or Warren, I will vote for ANY republican in the general election...if nothing more that due to the SCOTUS appts.
