“If Trump or Cruz wins the White House, then my side of the party has to re-evaluate who we are, what we stand for, and I’d be willing to do that,†Mr. Graham said. “But if Trump or Cruz loses the presidency, would their supporters re-evaluate their views on immigration and other issues that would grow the party? If they do that, we can come back together. If they don’t, the party probably splits in a permanent way.â€
Do the conservatives get as many shots at losing as the GOP has had with their chosen candidates? Graham makes it sound like conservatives get one chance to win and if not we have to sit down and shut up?
