Let’s cut to the chase: Two questions -
1) Do you believe registered Republicans can form a majority government (House, Senate, Presidency) and run the country according to generally accepted conservative principles?
2) If you don’t, where are the votes going to come from to elect a government different from the mess we have now?
There are two kinds of “conservatives”:
(1) Those who believe in conservative principles and are prepared to make major and if necessary radical changes to make that happen.
(2) Those who want to “conserve” leftist victories.
Presumably you are discussing group 1.
Lol.
