Conservatives Dont Own The Republican Party

Throwing the Buckley Rule,( you vote for the most electable conservative option against a democrat), out the window, the #nevertrump campaign on Twitter has become very popular among conservatives recently.

The hashtag is used to state the reason why someone won't support Trump even if he becomes the Republican nominee. They realize that refusing to support the Republican nominee virtually guarantees a Democrat presidency. Apparently this won't dissuade them, they would rather have a president they disagree with 100 percent of the time versus one they agree with 50 percent of the time. Intellectual Conservative ォ

While what he says is true, I am observing the opposite at the same time: more voters going toward Trump. I heard 2 different callers on Hannity yesterday say as much: they realize the GOP is threatening to throw the whole race like a dirty cage fighter, and advantaging Hillary. They switch from Cruz to Trump because they see the inherent weaknesses of the GOP and are having that cometoJesus moment. Also, it isn't Cruz, nor Bernie for that matter, who are attracting the silent majority of those who typically don't vote. That'd be Trump for the win.

"... they would rather have a president they disagree with 100 percent of the time versus one they agree with 50 percent of the time."


Reminds me of a joke (ascribed to Emo Philips):


Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”


He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”


He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.”


I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.
