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

And people who can do math call the others “obozo supporters.”

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Exactly what the Godless and their leader Satan say of The Almighty.

Makes sense that you would offer up that proverb as 'wisdom' given your snide insults on this thread towards those with principle.

At least we know what you are truly beholden to in spirit.

It’s you who need a remedial course in math. Or logic. Either will do.

You’ve been employing the fallacy of False Dilemma all through this thread.

American voters are not limited to a choice between Republican or Democrat as much as that pains loyal party hacks. Your syllogism depends upon that inconvenient falsehood. And even worse for those who wish it were so, voters can’t be compelled to vote for one or the other. Such a shame. Four parties ran in 1860. Three parties ran in 1912. And there are minor parties every election cycle.

The unfortunate reality for party hacks is that they actually have to appeal to voters to win elections. It would be so much simpler if they could just badger voters into voting for them. You seem to be trying that method. But alas it doesn’t seem to be persuading many.

If the GOP doesn’t start appealing to conservatives it could go the way of the Whig Party. I’m sure that the Whigs thought that voters owed them support just as you think voters owe the GOP.
