No you just don't understand the American people and how they vote. About 35 percent of the voters call themselves conservatives. bout 18 percent refer to themselves as liberals or progressives. The remaining 57 percent call themselves independents.

It may come as a giant surprise to you but in a two way race it takes over 50 percent of the votes cast to win. Apparently you think 35 percent of the voters can cast over 50 percent of the votes.

If the object is to elect a full blown conservative one must find a way to get 35 percent of the voters to cast more than 50 percent of the votes. That is very hard to do .. People with brains know it is impossible.

There are two options in the nomination process.. nominate a Conservative candidate that can't get more than 35 percent of the votes or nominate a candidate than can get to over 50 percent because he or she has some appeal to the independents.

Democrats have a bigger problem since only 18 percent of voters are liberal, but solve it a lot better than conservatives. Liberal Democrats pretend to be moderates until they get elected. They run for office as moderates and then govern as liberals.

Of course Conservatives won't stand for that, and demand a conservative who has always been a conservative. When conservatives accomplish their goal, the Democrats elect a liberal pretending to be a moderate and Conservatives yell "Damn Stupid Sheeple."

There are only two options for conservatives to win.. First conservatives could get off their dead rumps and convert enough people to make conservatives a majority of the voters. Then they could easily win. The other option is to nominate the most conservative candidate that can win. That means a partial conservative that is moderate enough to attract enough moderates to win. Conservatives never do either. That is why they always lose.

In four more years you can pick the next Fred and see the next McCain get the nomination. By demanding a candidate that is everything you want you only manage to get the nominee you hate most.

If the arguments that convince Conservatives convinced Moderates, all Moderates would be Conservatives.

My bad, I didnt realize the Democrats were a major factor in the republican primary vote.

Good post.

Time we started analyzing our actions and how we can move the conservative agenda forward instead of just being complainers destroying our own and giving free reign to the Hillary’s.
