Seems likely, dear brother in Christ.
On the other hand, the GOP "Establishment" risks losing their conservative base if they continue to play so fast and loose with it. So how do they expect to elect RINOs?
Corruption is rife in the "Establishment" GOP. They are so in bed with powerful interest groups — Chamber of Commerce, NAM; Business Roundtable, etc. — that it looks like they're trying to establish some kind of Corporatist State, a la Mussolini....
It's all so distressing, so much so that I left the GOP in 2010. I had lost all respect for it after its supine capitulation to 0bamaCare....
The “Establishment” does not want their Conservative “base,” and have declared this blatant wish multiple times. This has been the reality since well before my lifetime (near 80 years by now).
There was a time when I thought a Conservative takeover possible. No longer. The Liberals have a death grip on the Republican Party and will destroy the Party before giving it up. In truth, they have nearly destroyed the Party already.
