Every one of those times we could have written in a conservative. “They” don’t ‘make’ us do squat. “WE” do what we want to in the voting booth...then some make excuses for it. I used to as well. But no more.
I agree with you but “WE” are a minority.
Until the conservative movement moves past the need for a “Tea Party” - or any “Party” - and marches on DC, I believe we will continue to see “30 Second Sound Bite Candidates”.
