yes you make a good point.

We need allies wherever we can find them, on various issues.

And let’s be realistic enough, to know that we will get support on some issues but not some others.

And let’s not bash supporters on one issues, who for whatever reason didn’t offer support on something else, if they are with us on the issue of the day.

Didn’t Reagan say something, to the effect that, if someone supports you 80% of the time, that person is an ally, one from who you want to cultivate support, not denigrate them for the times they didn’t support you?

Didn’t Reagan also say something, to the effect that, you don’t always get everything you want, but if you can get half of what you want, by cultivating support, that’s better than nothing?

Maybe I mixed some metaphors, and sorry if I did. But I hope everyone gets what I’m getting at.
