“Waiting until the primaries begin is already too late to coalesce behind the best conservative for the job.”
I agree. If a conservative doesn’t win the primary, then the election is already over and lost. Some republicans may be satisfied with a slow march towards socialism, but anyone who calls himself or herself a conservative is by their very nature adverse towards socialism. Unfortunately the GOPe has done a good job with their propaganda campaign and deceived many into believing that ‘republican’ is synonymous with ‘conservative’. This misinformation leads many to believe that it is more important to have a candidate who can beat the democrat nomination rather than to ensure that at least one of the general election candidates is a conservative. To those sorts I ask “what difference does it make?” At that point in time, the answer is none, and then they get all resentful and piss and moan when conservatives don’t go out and vote for either of the libtard candidates, because doing such inherently goes against a conservative’s nature. For some reason, there are those unfortunates who just don’t ‘get it’.
Correct. Conservatives can not win nomination unless they unite behind a single candidate after the 6th primary in South Carolina. Otherwise Jeb Bush will be our nominee.
