No you specifically posted about "how we are all savaging each others' candidates on the GOP side." If you really think any of the candidates you mentioned are conservative, it is easy to see why the GOP is through.
We are indeed here tonight discussing the REPUBLICAN primaries. Therefore, I pointed out that the base's savaging of the front runners is not healthy to the REPUBLICAN party. While you have decided none of these candidates are conservative, the fact is 3 of them plainly received the support of most of the party, yet the base minus each one's supporters has also savaged each one as a "liberal". This attitude, IMHO is a factor in the lower REPUBLICAN turnout which is what we were discussing. There was no conservative party primary to discuss tonight.
