McCain is not a conservative and would be facing a Democrat Senate. McCain understands there is no way the Senate would approve a SCOTUS justice even moderately conservative. In the spirit of bipartisanship, McCain would "reach across the aisle" and, with the advise of his friend Kennedy, would nominate a liberal/moderate that the Democrats would approve.

Bingo. This is why the only choice is for us to demand McCain step aside. He stands no chance because no true conservative would vote for him. The only way we can win is for someone else, other than McCain to run.

This is why the only choice is for us to demand McCain step aside.

So the plurality of republicans who voted for McCain should have their choice negated by the losers, because the losers refuse to support the party choice?

And when we get a conservative, I presume you will allow the moderates to do the same to our candidate? No? It just works one way?

If you want a conservative, find one, get all the conservatives to agree on them, and then support them enough to get a majority of the votes in the primary.

We had control over who was the nominee. The conservatives may well be a majority, and if we had found a compelling conservative they would have drawn moderates as well.

But we didn't. We had 3 candidates. And none of them were acceptable to all the different types of conservatives.
