The problem is largely the Senate. The Congress is on the right side of just about everything but spending. I think I saw that Dewine just won a primary? That's a darn shame. It would take a powerful and vocal conservative to direct the fight to get rid of selected Rinos while maintaining our majority.
Unfortunately without another conservative leader, the RNC knows that we only have two choices - part time status quo leftists or full time socialist leftists.
Dewine won the primary but 30% of the registered Republicans who voted in the primary did not vote for him.
That figure will be telling not only in Ohio in November but across the country.
Do you think he can win in Ohio without that 30%?
I certainly don't.
Mike DeWine won the primary in Ohio because the voters in the Republican party elected him above all others. You can't blame the RNC. In the end, it comes down to the voters. They made their choice.
Perhaps there aren't enough real conservatives in Ohio. If there were, DeWine would've been defeated. Every time I hear how folks on this forum will never vote for a RINO, I look forward to then seeing a RINO defeated, yet again and again, the overall voters chose the RINO, rather than the red meat conservative.
Do the folks who complain about RINOs on this board vote? Do they make up more than 5% of the electorate?
