They're making that demand even as leading Democrats prove time and again that they will not moderate for the benefit of Republicans who change parties, will not compromise, and - crucially - will not even behave better than Trump himself.
While you're at it, ask your Democratic candidates if the challenge of Donald Trump is so grave that they're willing to moderate their positions on abortion, immigration, health care, gun rights, or religious liberty even in the slightest to win your support.
If both candidates meet that test, then of course I vote for the person closest to my views.
Nor does the rejection of one candidate lead automatically to a vote for his opponent.
Each candidate has to earn your vote, and if no one has, it is entirely acceptable to write in a name or go on strike - to stay home until the political parties can produce a candidate worth your support.
I refuse to recommend that anyone vote against a good conservative, including good conservatives who could remain in office long after Trump is gone from politics, to "Punish" the GOP. I especially cannot recommend punishing the GOP by voting for an unworthy opposition.
There is absolutely no reason, including to "Send a message," for any American to vote for a candidate of low character or who does not share his values.
