Actually, wait, no one has yet addressed the fact that Trump defeated the others in the primaries, which is where the fight was settled. This is being completely ignored.
No, it was not ignored. I told you that one should not conflate Conservatives and Republicans. Conservatives are conservatives first, and if there is no profit left in the Republicans, will happily vote other than Republican, or stay home. This has been proven so very many times that I am surprised to have to say it again...
In fact, if the Republicans loft a liberal, Conservatives turn on the party and do work against it. Of course they do. Why would you ever expect a Conservative to vote for a liberal? When your candidate not only offers Conservatives *nothing*, but is exactly that which Conservatives oppose, what demands do you expect you can put upon their allegiance?
And your other problem: There are now more Conservatives outside the party than in it... What ties do you think you have on someone like me, who is not a member of your party? There's the downside of 'open primaries'. I have no obligation to vote for your liberal candidate whatsoever.
Thus it comes down to what you have been told, over and over yet again. If you want Conservatives to vote for your candidate, just make sure your candidate is a Conservative, and then you and I will have no problems.
Conservatives are principled people and I am a Conservative, so I won't vote, even if it means the United States is destroyed as a result. I'll go to my grave, and perhaps watch my children and grandchildren marched into one, but I'll feel good about my decision. And then be shot. Bonus Pyrrhic Moral Victory Point: tell your executioners you're OK with this so you can smile smugly before they blow your brains out. I may have succumbed to rhetorical hyperbole on this last bullet point. (Bullet point, mass grave, execution - get it?)
What an asinine assertion.
The United States IS nearly destroyed - By precisely that which YOU are supporting. 'The lesser evil' will be our demise. Purporting to fight liberalism by electing liberals
from within the party of opposition to liberalism' is an absurdity of an high order.
The 'Pyrrhic Victory' is in winning by voting for that which you do not believe in, and in fact, oppose. How disingenuous to frame it otherwise.
And as to being lead out and shot: Bring it. Better now, than upon my children, when there is no defense, and there is no principled thought left to guide their generation. How feckless to kick the can down the road.
