No, you have misapplied the term “straw man argument”. Does not fit in response to my personal statement, which is provable. Nothing about my statement was a construction to be demolished.

From Wiki: A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent’s position. To “attack a straw man” is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the “straw man”), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

Nobody here has argued that the GOP will automatically receive conservatives’ votes.
