That happens in the primaries. Once we get to the GE we can only vote for the most conservative candidate even if the most conservative candidate isn’t very conservative.

Not voting is the same as voting for the opposition (see my arithmetic notations upthread).

Whatever. Just remember, we are trying to give fair warning. Do not run an open borders guy. Don't do it.

If you do it, don't expect us to go along with it.

An open borders candidate in the general will break this party.

BS. And BTW - answer my earlier charge:

If Hillary changed parties, declared herself a Republican and made it through the primaries - you would vote for her.

That being true proves you are no conservative.

Except that you group voting third party in with not voting; so, in essence you are saying that a vote does not count unless it agrees with your desires.
How is that any different than the philosophy of the Statists, you know, the ones who 'deem' things to pass?

‘Vote for The Lesser Evil 2014’

battle cry of the GOP establishment

The Communist Party used to refer to those who actually bought into its party line as “useful idiots”. The GOPe calls them “loyal Republicans”.
