Wrong ace. Vote for the non RINO in the primary. That is what a patriot does; he votes for what's best for the country and his own conscious sensibility. Then again nobody has accused you of patriotism lately have they?
No MORE RINOs!!!! F your "unelectability". MAGA candidates win every time!
The primaries are the key to stopping people like Romney. Where is Bannon, we need him.
The mistaken concept of ensuring we nominate the most conservative candidate, disregarding their electability, is why Christine O’Donnell, Sharon Angle, of course, Roy Moore are today serving as Republicans in the Senate, from states that should be Republican.
…. Or, remind me, were they defeated by weak Dems in the general elections we should have won easily had we gone with the electable Republican candidates O’Donnell, Angle and Moore defeated in the primary?
Don’t remember O’Donnell and Angle?
No one else does either, and they cost us two easy Senate seats.
Let me ask a serious question.
What good does it do to elect a candidate in the primaries, any candidate, if they are destined to lose in the General election?
Here is three realities of Realpolitik elections.
#1, We Conservatives do not decide the outcome. Neither do the Lib-Dems. In any contested election, about 44% of the voters are going to vote for the Dem, about 44% for the Republican. That’s 88% already gone before the campaign starts.
That means the two candidates are fighting for the very few, 12%, of the voters who could go one way or another. Of course, the very conservative candidate can win that 44%, but if he or she does not win more than half of that 12%, they lose.
History proves that far right candidates can win primaries, but if the data shows they will lose the General, they will. Forget about rallying everyone to the Conservative cause to swing that 12%. It doesn’t happen. Angle, O’Donnell and others are prof.
#2. Losing an election is like death. It is permanent. Other than someone buying you a drink for the next few weeks, it has no benefit. ALL IT DOES IS ENSURE THE LIB-DEM IS ELECTED.
#3. Elections have consequences. When elected, Lib-Dems enact laws and policies we all have to suffer under. That is the end result of nominating a unelectable candidate.
We may not like it, but like gravity, it’s reality, and we ignore it at our peril.
Where is Bannon, we need him?
Hopefully back on his meds.
