Cruz: Obama is an "unmitigated socialist"

[RINO Tom]

Well Obama is a socialist

How so?

Obama certainly isn't a socialist, but he pretty much is compared to Ted Cruz.

Then let's give it a try and we'll just see, won't we?

By the time McCain and Romney won the nominations, they were seen as nothing but conservative to swing voters.  To say otherwise is simply delusional.

But, many who identify as politically conservative (up to 10-15% per exits, I think I've seen it as high as 20% in some races, but I may be mistaken) vote Democrat. That's a problem isn't it? Don't you think we should try to get  those voters back? Or at minimum analyze why they're voting Democrat?

Sure.  But conversely, Republicans barely ever win a majority of those who identify as "Moderate."  Naturally, you'd probably rather add more conservatives to the coalition and I'd probably like to add more moderates.  I happen to believe that we're losing more moderates than conservatives in the big EV states that matter/we need to pick up.
