Yes, there are primaries. But 51% of the party can select someone who is completely unacceptable to 49% of the party, splitting the party. I want the GOP to nominate someone who is acceptable to 90% of the party.

And if the primaries don't result in a candidate that satisfies all of your republican ideals, does that mean that you would withhold your vote or vote for a third party, thereby creating the possibility of the true opposition, someone who is complete opposite of your ideals, to get voted in?

And who might that be? And will that person, if he exists, be acceptable to 51% of the electorate?
