Yea - I agree. We will see a Hillary presidency if we don’t get behind a candidate that can actually beat her. If people want to vote on their core values and on issues that are important to them, that’s everyone’s right. But if a core conservative cannot sell their message effectively enough to the public, and cannot beat Hillary in any polls, I am not wasting a vote to see Hillary for 8 years because that will happen.

Nominate a genuine conservative or get used to saying President Medusa.

That’s always been my point. I’m not a fan of the primary schedule, but you have to work with it. What bothers me far more than anything is seeing people claim they would rather have another far leftist like Obama claiming that somehow it would help the GOP. It won’t. The damage being done by the Obama administration may never be fixed.

In the last two election cycles, this place in particular has been a total circular firing squad. In every thread, any GOP candidate mentioned was attacked (usually by the same small but vocally abusive group) as being “liberal” or not conservative enough. When I see Rick Santorum being called a liberal here, I seriously shake my head. I realize that people are on the net to wreak havoc at times and some of this bluster I see here is just that, but there is a sense in the republican party that nobody can satisfy the more vocal critics.

I will not vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstance. Period. I won’t vote for her by proxy either by staying home or writing in a name. Oh, the usual response is “you don’t care about the candidate”. Knock off that crap, the attacks here on those of us who truly understand the primary process by those wreaking havoc is silly. The energy wasted among those who demand the invisible perfect conservative really needs to be put forth to find said candidate.

This presidential election is going to be ALL on the net. Twitter, facebook, instagram, forums like this. It will probably be the first, but not the last election to be totally dependent upon social media. I hope everyone’s ready for that.
