“If you want Conservative support, you get it with Conservative candidates.”
There were a number of “conservative candidates” running? How did that work out? It’s time conservatives realize that being conservative isn’t enough, you’ve got to articulate policies and positions in a manner that generates broad appeal or you won’t win. And blaming the RNC doesn’t cut it.
Nonsense. Start the primaries in Texas and Kansas instead of Iowa and New Hampshire. Then relegate anyone who isn't one of the 'top three' into a 'lower tier' before going on to any other state. I dare say the outcome would be drastically different.
It isn't that the Conservative candidates were inarticulate. It is simply a matter of attrition. by the time conservative states have a choice, there is no Conservative left to vote for. Such was the case this time.
