THIS is why the world laughs at us (or thinks we're batshit crazy)

113. Why do you think Republicans don't pick the real Democrat?

...and this applies whether they are dealing with a RINO (as Limpballs would define it) or a Teapiglican?

It pertains to the differences in perceived world views.

Look at 2006. The Dems made big gains in that election, in large part, because the Repubs stayed home IN DROVES.

I say again - a bad Democrat is not necessarily better than the best Republican. To say otherwise opens up the process for conservatives (who would otherwise run as Republicans) to run as Democrats - we've seen that before. Look at their voting patterns, their speeches, and how much they try to distance themselves from the current administration.

I'm sorry, but we'll have to agree to disagree. Just because a candidate has a "D" after their name does not necessarily guarantee them my vote. They'll have to earn my vote.
