There is no sense in us repeating an argument we've already had several times, the fact of which proves your above statement to be a flat out lie.
Not a lie at all. You and I have gone around and again on several issues. Never on the color of Conservatism.
You have also never elaborated (as I recall) on why I should vote for what I do not want.
You have also never successfully argued why I should vote for one who did such great damage to Conservatism, namely to fiscal conservatism and to libertarianism... Surely, to be kind, more damage than any other Republican I can recall.
You've kept up the pot shots on the whole idea that not voting for thee Republican is voting for the Democrat, even though that was proved over and again to be a fallacy. So that's your problem. It's already proven wrong.
I will not vote to expand big government from the right. That means no moderates, no liberals, and no Tumpy.
I will not vote against fellow conservatives.
As a Reaganite, you throw any conservative under the bus, you do the very same to me. Because that is how Conservatism dies.
Go ahead. Change my mind.
