A great many on FreeRepublic seem to have been overcome with the idea if you run candidates as liberal as Hillary and the Dems, then you can beat them.

“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
“government of the people, by the people, for the people” has already perished.
If electing a conservative was the objective, then we all on FR should have worked harder to get a conservative nominated. Instead, we divided ourselves between support for a NY populist and an immature lawyer who intellectually collapsed half-way through the campaign process.
So we're stuck with the NY populist. We have to play the hand we've dealt ourselves.

“A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.”
