Why on earth is it necessary to insult (and nastily so) folks who you should be trying to court, politically?
I would suggest that Y'all and Ms. Perino agree on almost everything; and, this close to an election, it is a good time to NOT disenfranchise those who just might be valuable allies.
So far, Mr. Trump is (roughly, I'm guessing) 25% of the GOP-leaning 45% of the electorate. (You are not dealing from a position of electoral strength, even though (via polls) Mister Trump leads the GOP field.)

“I would suggest that Y’all and Ms. Perino agree on almost everything; and, this close to an election, it is a good time to NOT disenfranchise those who just might be valuable allies.”
Perino would rather see Hillary than Trump. Nothing the Trump wing could do would have her stump for him. She and George Will, and all the others would rather have Hillary and another chance in 4 years. The problem is not that we don’t respect her, it is that she in in the tank for the Bush traitorous open border agenda.
We don’t court her. We use THEIR GOPe technique. Ive heard it a million times from them. “where else will they go?”
So that’s fair to use on them.
Wow. It took forty-five posts before breaking through the hatred. This primary season could be fratricidal.
“folks who you should be trying to court”
I’m not going to them one more time. Every time I do, they wind up truckling to the Democrats. They can court us.
But they have nothing but contempt for the type of people who take covered dishes to the church basement and share fellowship.
They can come to the conservative dark side for once, or they: Fox, NR, and all the other usual suspects, can lose by themselves this time.
Because they’re a dishonest bunch. If they really shared our goals, then it would be worth trying to persuade them why we support who we support. But the RINO’s view the conservative base as their enemy and have lied and used us for too long. They have no interest in reconciling with us, nor we with them.
"Whoa, what a tough crowd!Why on earth is it necessary to insult (and nastily so) folks who you should be trying to court, politically?

She's getting off easy here. She is a fraud who is promoting surrender just like Karl Rove an Krauthammer and Jorge Ramos all coincidentally did ... tonight ... on FOXey News. Their position is 'you can't possibly get them all, so let's get none.' That meshes with the Chamber of Commerce Department of Soft Slavery. Do you agree as well? If not, why defend her and this out-in-the-open admission that they were frauds all along, taking our votes while doing the bidding of the enemy.

Your math is operating under the mother of all wrong assumptions - that Trump's support is all (R)epublicans! If you bother to look around anywhere, and everywhere, his support is cross party and indeed extra party. He is systematically energizing a wide base and I happen to personally know (D)emocrats and Non-Voters who are very excited. If he is nominated, I expect the war cry to be: It's the Jobs, Stupid. Something that will go over very well across the spectrum.
There are loads of blue collar and white collar workers, union and non-union just itching to get the yoke of the modern (D)emocrat party's liberalism and political correctness and all those pet projects that didn't do anything for their real lives. They're literally shouting it in every thread in every website and news article that still allows comments. How did you miss it?
The only real question is whether the (R)epublicrat establishment can stop him in the primaries. This is Civil War. This is why Perino and Rove and all other Bush sycophants are in DEFCON 2. Watch what happens if or when he racks up primary delegates. DEFCON 1 will be EPIC.
