Are we confusing Conservatism with anything other than being a selfish, self-centered pig?

Would have, could have should of, what ifA candidate like Kasich or Rubio would have breezed passed a very vulnerable Clinton. Clinton is a train wreck, but lucky for her Trump is a bigger one. She should have been easy to beat, but Trump has given her an easy path to a absolute slaughter it won't be pretty. He will also take the senate with him. Honestly it should have been 53-47 in Nov. conservatives losing IL and WI and us winning NV. It would have been huge since 2018 is going to be Republican year for picking up senate seats. The House majority is going to be safe either way. But the pick loss will be the SCOTUS. They will have a 5 judge liberal bloc.
One man has caused this and it is unforgivable!
Kasich would have cruised nowhere......at least try to be honest.......Rubio might have had a chance...something tells me though he would pull a Romney and be another nice guy loser.
and yet the primary numbers disagree. oops. again, tooth, keep telling yourself it isn't so. you'll keep surviving until that auspicious day in November comes. LOLPeople will go to the polls to vote for candidate from both parties who are not died-in-the-wool eternal holders of political seats - AT ALL LEVELS!
That's just wishful thinking, not backed up by any evidence.
Trump is only getting support from the old conservative base, and not as much as previous candidates have gotten. He hasn't drawn in new support from any other demographics. Quite the contrary, he's doing worse everywhere.
so why didn't he beat trump? you all keep posting this,Kasich would have cruised nowhere......at least try to be honest.......Rubio might have had a chance...something tells me though he would pull a Romney and be another nice guy loser.
Kasich would have won in a landslide and every single poll between he and Hillary were showing that. Kasich was winning states like Connecticut, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc. that the GOP hasn't won in 30 years.

I call Reagan greatest in my timeso why didn't he beat trump? you all keep posting this,Kasich would have cruised nowhere......at least try to be honest.......Rubio might have had a chance...something tells me though he would pull a Romney and be another nice guy loser.

Because the Republican base has moved so far off the reservation that everyone to the left of Cruz is now considered a RINO. The funny thing is, Kasich was the most Reaganesque guy in the race. You nut jobs would call Reagan a RINO if he ran today.
He was arrogant and turned people off. His communications was stuck in a loop. It was way too repetitiveReagan inspired kasich repulsed. ...... any questions.....if he reminded me of anyone it was nixon
But he couldn't beat trump, makes him a loser.A candidate like Kasich or Rubio would have breezed passed a very vulnerable Clinton. Clinton is a train wreck, but lucky for her Trump is a bigger one.

You're just figuring this out now?
One could see this coming six months ago.
Kasich would have crushed Hillary. Rubio probably too.
Most of the Republican candidates probably would have beaten her.
The country doesn't want her.
But the Republican party picked the one guy who can't beat her.
Yet they picked a guy that least represents those values:
(1) He talked about raising taxes in the rich
(2) Not sure his stance on abortion, but he is definitely not pro-life
(3) He is not a religious zealot by any stretch of the imagination
(4) He publicly supports men going into the women's bathroom
(5) He talked about cutting the defense budget
(6) Talks against free trade and pro-tariffs
All he got right is illegal immigration, but his tactic only worked in the primary and alienated a key demo for the generals.
I am not sure the GOP will ever be able to recover from the Trump candidacy. True Conservatism may be dead. Comrade Trump has so alienated such large segments of the voters that the Republican Party's hopes of winning national elections is nearly gone. I expect Texas to be Blue by 2020.
Texas will be more red in 2020.

No. Quite the opposite.
Demographics is destiny.
Nice OP, btw.

No, guy. Trump is the end result of what you've been doing to yourselves for 40 years.
For 40 years, the conservative movement has been playing on the racial, sexual and religious fears to get white men to vote against their own economic interests.
And for 40 years, the rich have gotten their tax cuts, but abortion is still legal.
Trump is the frustration of anger that has been stoked made manifest.
The problem is, he really only appeals to that very small slice of the electorate. That's why he's going to lose.
there's that wishing statement again. I'm going to will hillary to victory. hahahaahhahahaahaha. you better post it again, it may lose all of its luster and glory shortly.One man has caused this and it is unforgivable!

And right down the ticket will lose as well.
Couldn't happen to a nicer party.

Demographic changes would have given ANY democratic candidate an edge against ANY republican candidate.
Denying that reality will not help.
Trump gives the Working Class White Dems a reason to cross party lines. We need that to have a chance at victory.
You establishment republicans have to stop sabotaging our Candidate.
