Look at this from the standpoint of a conservative wanting to challenge bhoner. He looks at history and what does he see? His base is so gutless they cave in to whatever the GOP fronts and abandons conservative candidates.

Anyone want to say with a straight face Mitt Romney was the most conservative person running it 12? Then who got him threogh the primaries? Where were the chest beating conservatives backing the more conservative candidates? Oh thats right. Fighting over which liberal could ‘win no matter what”.

Would YOU put your ass on the line when even the far right of the base is as trustworthy to have your back as a Democrat?

Thats history. Look at what half of FR did to Palin. And it happens every election. Look at how rather than fight for Cruz, half the ‘conservatives fixate on one bad vote and forget all the good he has done for conservatism.

Why? You tell me.

Just so I understand what you are saying. Your pushing a guy that voted to give complete control over treaties and trade with other nations to the democrats, even though the republicans hold both houses of congress, as the best conservative? And then say it's one bad vote, even though it was multiple votes? But you are also complaining that others were pushing repubs that are not pure dyed-in-the-wool conservatives?

Half of this forum was not against Palin

Not even a quarter

Just a few loud ones

Sarah Palin did not run because reasons known only to her

She had her own enthusiastic fan club nationwide but could she have had Trumps numbers we will never know
