Why do so many so called republicans make so many excuses to not support their own party?

Every day on here there’s some one posting about Lake, Oz, Walker or some other candidate that Trump endorsed that lost an election and how they were bad candidates, or they lost because of Trump.
Meanwhile them Dems rally behind EVERY ONE of their candidates.
So what if they aren’t your “ideal candidate” or they switched parties.
It’s a numbers game.
You are all being played or part of the play by doing this.

It certainly hurts us, but unlike the left our allegiance isn’t to the mob. To gain mob acceptance and win elections I won’t bend the knee to things I find abhorrent like abortion to simply have a party that “represents” me in power

Lobbyist within their own state. They their state salary, but you get more with your side jobs. It all comes down to lobbying with each state. Money trickling down to politics and there you have a outcome.
It's the same shite that happens in the other states that want to go green, or want to hug a tree. Exactly the same damn thing
Lobbyists, they pay your politicians. It should be illegal.

It's like they've never heard of an enemy deploying the divide and conquer strategy. 
When Republicans MOST need to be united against a threat to American sovereignty, they are DIVIDED over petty BS.

It's the candidates job to earn my vote.
My vote is owed to nobody.

Have you not seen what supposed Reps do when elected to represent their voters? Blinky is a prime example.

If the Republican Party wants my vote, they’ll nominate a Conservative.
Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be any intention to do so.
And hasn’t been since 1984.
The Republican Party really just doesn’t want my support. The GOP base just spends its time shitting on actual Conservatives. frick them.
Those are some STUPID fricks.

Dems are a cult. You answered your own question.

Republicans tend to be fiercely independent thinkers. They question.
Democrats tend to be groupthink herd mentality. They do what they’re told.
That’s really it in a nutshell.
But also there is the reality that Democrats largely deliver for their voters while Republicans largely fail their voters. Hence there is much more self criticism and skepticism on the Republican side.

You make the mistake of assuming all Republicans share multiple party values. There are many 1 issue voters.
Evangelicals have consistently supported Republicans because of their focus on faith and pro-life stance.
Pro-Business and wealthy Republicans have done so due to their stance on taxation of businesses and the wealthy.
Fiscal conservatives have supported due to the Republican stance on small government and reduced spending.
Neocons who are pro military, might makes right.
This was an alliance that worked because no group had an issue with the other since their primary goals didn't collide.
Now add the remnants of the Tea Party and the working class Democrats who joined together to create MAGA.
MAGA Republicans are primarily pro tariff (working class job protection), isolationist, small government, low taxes.
These isolationist policy hits the core neocon requirement.
The pro tariff hits the business contingent.
The free spending increasing the debt by a trillion hit the fiscal conservatives.
About the only group they didn't alienate was the evangelical bloc but they've been shrinking for years.
So ask yourself this as a single issue voter. If the leadership of your party is going the polar opposite direction of your issue, why would you vote for them?

Uhhhh, Republicans do EXACTLY that. THAT is what explains a bunch of fricking idiots fraudulently calling themselves Conservatives while shitting all over an actual Conservative candidate to support a Democrat-Turned-Populist.

The dems are going to reschedule marijuana and it will be over forever for the Republicans.

Nah
It’s because the Republican Party and the DC establishment are trying to tell them who they can’t vote for, because not everyone in the Party is a conservative, and because Ron just isn’t good at campaigning.

This is laughable. The only reason that Dems don’t dominate politically is because they’re not unified in their political philosophies. It’s a diverse group that ranges from far left commies, to center left moderates. The right, on the other hand, is mainly white, conservative Christians, with very little diversity of political philosophy.
You also misidentify a childish problem with authority as “fiercely independent” thinking. It’s more the product of stunted emotional development.

Democrats will vote for a rock if that’s what they’re told to do, no questions asked.
Republicans will not do the same.
