Question. How do you figure a statement like this helps “assuage” religious conservatives? Are you suggesting that we should settle for and be “satisfied” with a ‘moderate’(some would say RHINO) outcome, rather than a conservative outcome on this issue?
Answer: No candidate is completely 100% to everyones liking. One backs the most conservative candidate running who at least has a reasonable chance of winning the nomination and general.
Any other course is quixotic and self defeating.
Brother, you said a mouthful!
