If you’re a Conservative, you don’t attack ally Conservatives and accuse them of not being pure. You prove to voters they’re you’re a better Conservative by arguments and how effective you are at attacking the opposition. Attacking a Conservative and not Liberal/Moderate/Establishment Republicans only prove that they’re a fake Conservative
This is what bother me about these attack at Cruz from people like Rubio and Rand. They think they get more support by pealing Conservatives from the leading Conservative by attacking him. That sound like Liberal consultant approach
They’re trying to sway evangelical voters. The question is why, since neither has a snowballs chance in hell of winning squat.
This is the same underhanded strategy the GOPe has been playing on conservatives and their candidates for decades now.
And someone needs to call them out on it.
