I said nothing about Trump. I’ve been pushing for a Trump-Cruz ticket as a Cruz supporter. I said we need to stop running execrable RINO loser tickets. No bones should be thrown to the corrupt Socialist RINO Establishment. They’re owed exactly nothing.

No, but the dates you selected for your examples support the idea that having a RINO at the top of the ticket is what matters:

Because impurist RINO tickets have done so well at winning. 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, 1948, 1960, 1976, 1992, 1996, 2008, 2012.

You omitted 1980 and 1984, which had Reagan at the top of the ticket but Bush in the Veep slot. An "impurist RINO" ticket, but one that won in two absolute landslides.

Of course, you also omitted 1964 -- where arch-conservative Goldwater lost, 1952/1956 when moderate Ike won, and 1968/1972, where Nixon/Agnew won. So I'm not sure there is a consistent logic to your examples anyway.

No bones should be thrown to the corrupt Socialist RINO Establishment. They’re owed exactly nothing.

So you don't want Trump to get the votes of all the Republicans who aren't fond of either Trump or Cruz? You'd rather have them sit out or vote for Hillary? And you don't want to votes of all those suburban women either?

You'd rather lose just to say you "stuck it to them" than actually win the election.
