Silencing the opposition?
You mean in our primary getting rid of the posers and non real candidates, and non-conservatives?
Why are you here if you oppose making the GOP more conservative?
Do you still beat your wife?
I never said I oppose making the GOP more conservative. I don't agree that excluding some from the debates is the way to do that. The candidates with lower support may collectively represent a significant percentage of republican voters. Even if you hate the candidate, what about the people who support them? Won't you need their vote eventually? Why kick them to the curb and make them feel like their opinion does not matter right out of the gate?
