Simply amazing that you know me so well that you can state that I "hobknob around" with "third party goofballs" because, actually, that is not the case. In any event, one principled "third party goofball" is worth a hundred of you party-above-principle GOP Big Tent RINOs.
"Where'd you come up with that 30%+ figure besides your head?"
That 30% is the lowball side of the numbers usually cited as constituting the conservative base. These numbers are all over the place, but seem to hover anywhere between a low of 30% to a high of 40%. If you possess more credible and authoritative numbers, lets have them. Remember, I said "credible and authoritative, which excludes RNC GOP Big Tent "wish" numbers below 30%.
I'll take a 100 "party-above-principle GOP Big Tent RINOs" whose hearts and minds are in the right place, over 1 third party bozo who thinks the world should revolve around them.

Right, I'm fully aware of that. That figure fluctuates because of the low number of "party-above-principle GOP Big Tent RINOs" that you speak of. Many of them haven't made up their minds until election night. They're commonly referred to as "undecideds".
