In a monologue posted on his website, Savage said the Democrats “are laughing because they see the entire Republican Party split in two, with the purists attacking the pragmatists, and the pragmatists mocking the purists.”
“Of course we would all like a purist candidate,” Savage said. “However most every election in the past has been lost on the Republican side by purist candidates who did not appeal to the masses.”
Savage, an avid supporter of Trump, said he considers himself a pragmatist “after seeing what purists have gotten politically, which is near zero.”
“
Purists have rarely elected anyone. Ever. And they will not in 2016,” he said.
He compared the divide between purists and pragmatists to the schisms within religions, such as in the Jewish faith, “where you have the ultra-Orthodox purists vs. the reform movement, and the conservative reform movement, which are the pragmatists modifying the religion to appeal to a larger mass of people.”
“Tens of millions of immigrants would continue to pour in over the border,” Savage said. “We cannot afford gridlock. We cannot afford a logjam. That is why I’m a pragmatist.”
