Of course, voting for moderates and RINOs has cost us our country, but who cares about that? :)
“Democrats don’t have the same kind of ideologically pure wing that has hurt GOP presidential candidates in the past. Democrats, it seems, are more practical. They may prefer Bernie Sanders, or one of the others, but when push comes to shove, almost all of them will vote for Clinton. Why? They want to win.”
Bernie labels this “more practical”, showing he doesn’t really understand what is going on. Lefties lose nothing really by compromising, because even their “compromise” candidates still push the country to the left, just not as rapidly as the lefties would like.
When conservatives compromise, though, the country still gets pushed to the left, because Republican compromisers are all surrender monkeys, who not only won’t fight for our cause, but will join the Democrats to actively oppose us.
So, of course liberals will compromise, they still get a consolation prize when they do that. We get worse than nothing when we compromise, so there is no incentive for us to do it anymore. So for a conservative, refusing to compromise really does seem to be the only “practical” choice, at least at this point.
Bernie, you’re still and old fool. It’s not a matter of ideological “purity”, it’s a matter of us being sick to death of being stabbed in the back by the phoney GOPe, who are purchased and paid for by the big “money people” via campaign “contributions”, and who don’t give a damn about our country, but care only about being re-elected again and again so they can continue to live in their all-country-club bubble, with all of it’s wonderful perks and luxuries denied to we peasants.
It serves an important purpose for Conservatives to clearly state that they will not vote for RINO presidential candidates.
If Mitt Romney had paid attention to such Conservative statements he would not have run in 2012. He lost, of course, and his donors lost hundreds of millions of dollars backing him because Conservatives, as they had previously stated, would not and did not vote for him in the general election.
It makes no sense for RINOs, therefore, to run for president.
At least we haven’t had to wait long this year for Jeb Bush and his backers to fall by the wayside.
Even the most foolish gambler eventually walks away when he NEVER wins, yet apparently RINOs and their millionaire contributors are incapable of understanding that there is nothing but defeat for them when taking part in RINO presidential politics.
I am so sick of these kind of condesending scoldings I am ready to shove Trump up their noses.
Oh shut up, Bernie! The days of nose holding are over.
imo, Trump is not a conservative purist either. I wish he were! I believe that some of the time he is sincere, but much of the time he is just telling us what we want to hear.
Ok.. ive see two National Review articles posted...
one bashing conservative for selling out their values for supporting Trump...
one bashing conservative for being conservative purest and supporting Trump
NR you can not have it both ways
“They’re delusional, of course, blinded by their right-wing ideology...”
Why are clinical terms always applied to the minds of so-called right-wingers?
Just asking.
IMHO
