Conservatives are saying, give us a conservative nominee or we might walk. But a principled conservative candidate might cause at least as many moderates to stay home. You need to have a candidate that is acceptable to both sides.
Bull crap. The sheeple will gravitate to a powerful conservative that can clearly articulate the conservative message. A RINO candidate cannot inspire and cannot show conviction because, well they are moderates and that by definition means a lack of conviction.
