It will NOT be a bloodbath because MANY, MANY, MANY on OUR side will sit at home because some of our nominees are not PURE enough, even though they are 1000% BETTER than any Democrat!!! We could even lose the House because of this, and we will NOT win the Senate because of the PURISTS on our side.
It is time for the “purists” to stand apart from the GOPe and encourage the GOPe to switch parties and become the Dem’s that they always were. The dark muddles the light and folks can’t see any real differences.
Attaining purity isn’t hard. Just support the traditional Republican Party platform, as dozens of past Republican greats have.
But, people who disparage party purity most certainly have their own few non-negotiables as well.
Who are the purists? I’d say it’s the entrenched politicians who do anything to prevent the election of anyone not in lockstep withe lobbyists in DC. They have used every means possible from costing us seats to racist tactics to redistricting out conservatives allowing more democrat seats.
Yes. I tire of the “if they aren’t a clone of my brain I am staying home” crowd. It’s almost like a form of narcissism.
