“If the guy who beats your guy is half a loaf, you shrug your shoulders, hope your guy is his running mate, and get ready for the general.”
So true. This talk of third party stuff is crazy.
You can say that again. If the purists keep up their "standards" and only vote for someone who suits them 100%, we will lose election after election until we will never win another election. In a war, you never give up conquered territory. You protect what you have until you can advance a bit more later. Libs understand this but conservatives don't. With conservatives it's either all or nothing.
