It is irresponsible to treat the general election as if it were a primary. Irresponsible, selfish, and suspect

You can complain away about how selfish and irresponsible it is, but that isn't going to change people's actions. You can't control millions of people spread across 50 states, and questioning their motives isn't going to get the GOP elected. The base will fall in line when they have a conservative to support; when they don't, they won't.

That's simply a statement of reality.

Excellent statement. Those who think Rudy is going to magically capture the conservative base are either deluding themselves or are Hillary water-carriers.

There is a wonderful conservative to support.
There are those who support Duncan Hunter, and those who seem to be using him and threatening third party if he doesn't win the primary.

The primary and the general are two very different elections.

I do not believe Hunter advocates third party.
