Now they have to win the general.
It would be NICE if they won the general. But much much more importantly is that they won the GOP nomination, and we DON’T go back to nominating rinos, REGARDLESS of how they do in the general!
Winning the general is the argument that the rinos have made for decades for why we need to nominate moderates.
How has electing “lesser of 2 evils” rinos worked out for the country so far?
The only way we make any political gains is by giving the voters a choice between a true conservative and a Democrat. And we stick to that formula!
If we say “oh no, the conservative candidate lost... let’s go back to nominating GOP candidates that are just ever so slightly to the right of the Democrat”... just so we can say “yay we won, we won”.....then it’s just an empty victory.
