The author needs to understand that there are a lot of conservatives who want to lose. (This malady exists among many far-left liberals also.) This desire has nothing to do with principles, country, party or politics. It has to do with personality problems, and a desire to punish others for transgressions and “impurity.”
There ceratinly are transgressions and impurity, how could there not be, in a party with tens of millions of members?
The idea that letting Democrats assume power will lead to Democrats quickly losing power back to “true” conservatives is idiotic. Study of American political history will quickly diabuse some of such a foolish notion. Those mentioned above will not be so convinced, but that is a different matter.
Great comments.
