Right. Conservatives who have ZERO power in the GOP, are not LISTENED to by the GOP, are taunted and made fun of by the GOP, is the reason their liver lipped RINO loses.
That makes perfect GOP sense.
RINO only counts for 30-35% of the members. The rest mostly claim to be conservatives. That conservatives don’t have power to influence as much as RINO shows conservatives’ weakness.
Well that theory falls apart when one realizes Paul Ryan is the VP.
You may want to consider that not all R voters are conservative. They should be; but the fact is that they are not.
Is the goal to win an election; or to have a pure conservative as the candidate? I would like both; but winning the election is a non negotiable.
