Some people just believe in the agenda. They want conservative judges or whatever. They may prefer it came in a more palatable package, but in the end, the package doesn't matter. I know people like that. They didn't vote for Trump in the Republican primary, and really wished he hadn't gotten the nomination, but there was no doubt that they were going to support the Republican. I'm really curious to see whether Weld gets any traction in the Republican primaries.
