My attitude is I will NEVER vote for someone who isn't a conservative and will not support anyone who isn't a Constitutional conservative -- both are few and few between.
I find it deeply troubling that no one from the GOP, including Cruz has stood up and cried foul. Cruz stated that he saw a pathway to Trump overturning this election, but that's it. Perhaps he came forward to offer his expertise and maybe was told "no" or perhaps he saw that Trump tapped Giuliani for the win ... but everyone else has for the most part remained silent.
The GOP is done.
It's done because of folks like you. If you won't vote for GOP candidates unless they pass your self-defined litmus test which you assure us is "few and far between", then how the hell can you criticize folks who declined to vote for Trump?
At least my litmus test takes in GOP candidates from all walks of center-right life. No, I couldn't vote for a man who treated the Resolute Desk like a prop in a reality show, but that's just one man. Otherwise, I voted straight GOP, like I've always done.
I'm not leaving the Party or starting a pity party because the GOP nationally turned back the progressive tide. Yes, Trump lost, and I have no illusions that Joe Biden will be far FAR worse from the standpoint of policy. I wish there had been a better choice, where the progress we've made as a nation these last four years would have resulted in a landslide. But Trump's flaws prevented that, and even as he garnered a hitherto unmatched number of votes, six miilion more rose up to declare they were sick and tired of it all.
