That means conservatives are somewhere between 30 & 40% of the Republican ‘base’.Not even close, unless you are counting Huckabee.
The votes show that what most people around here call "conservatives" are 15% of the GOP base vote, if that. At that level, and given they are making demands they can't back up at the polls, they are going to get slapped in the face.

The part missing from your equation is that without that 15% the party is screwed.
What we are witnessing is a slow motion shooting of the foot.
