Nice try at being slick, but don’t insult my intelligence with the crappy red herring. There appears to be two conservatives in this race, and nobody could coalesce around one of them. Happens over and over and over again, because of the reasons I mentioned.
I’ve done this game too long, and I know the reason people support loser candidates for the better one, if not for the purity, it’s because they want to be in the inner circle and leverage that to some kind of party power broker status after that. Even if that candidate wins it rarely ever happens that the delusions of grandeur work out that way.
Completely agree with both of your posts.
Conservative opposition to the GOPe is not about “purity”. It’s about wanting an engaged opposition party to the Obama agenda.
We’ve had one surrender party after another from Boehner & McConnell the past few years. They’ve shown time and again they are simply not interested in substantively engaging obama.
Your “purity” and other insults of conservatives tell me you are fine with that non opposition in historic times. Well, we’re not. Deal with it.

or, sanctimonious self righteousness
Such conservatives value their own narrow views more than they value america.
