If a faux 'Republican' becomes the nominee, how is voting for him any better than voting for a Democrat?
I'm not talking about an 80% or even a 60% conservative nominee. I'm talking about a candidate whose record in office clearly demonstrates they're advancing the other side's agenda.
That is exactly the dilemma we faced in 2012 with Romney. You can pound your fists until your bones break, but that's why millions of conservatives stayed home.
Like it or not, at some point soon, this is going to have to be dealt with. On our side, the leadership is at war with the base of their party. Not so on the left. It's an ongoing structural problem that we've got to solve - and we ain't gonna do it by voting in more RINOs.
The millions of conservatives who stayed at home in 2012 gave us four more years of “slouching toward Gomorrah”. They’re idiots, IMO.
