Yeah, I just don't get that.

Seems pretty obvious to me. If you believe that Republican policies are best for the country, then even the worst of Republicans will be better for the country than almost any Democrat.

So it's perfectly consistent for someone in the party to think a given candidate is one of the worst possible Republicans to nominate for a particular post - but if they win, they're still a better choice (given the GOP's beliefs about what's good for the country) than the opponent.
