And yet, they somehow manage to find the “pure” RINO to nominate every time.

You speak of “they”, as if it some evil, secret society in control of the GOP, who dictate the course of all elections.

Reality is hard for some to swallow, that truthfully, the electorate is the problem, not some small group like you proclaim.

The problem in ‘08 was, too many hard-core, do-or-die, fall-on-their-words, fringe populists who refused to bend on even the smallest of issues. The result was a highly fragmented conservative base, spread widely over several candidates. That is how the moderates and independents managed to elect McCain in the primaries. McCain could never have won with the percentage of votes he received with out that fragmented base scattered all about.

The same thing is about to happen this time around. Yet this insane notion that the rest of the voting public would not dare go against the 20% fringe, so angrily demanding their way, or else!, continues on without a second thought.
