“Party over principles” is going to eat the Republican Party alive IMO.
Party over principles is a red herring. That is not the question. The article adds to the confusion by confusing single issue voters with litmus test voters, and the two concepts are different, something apparently lost in this rather poorly structured article.
The notion of candidates being able to articulate their own positions versus signing pledges designed to bring attention to specific organizations is another idea lost by this piece.
Many single issue voters are intellectually and politically incoherent and inconsistent overall. I think this article does nothing to clear this up.
You don't understand, it's perfectly OK for the RINO party to stab you and your children in the back, those exclusive Country Club slots and ruling class A list parties are too important to let go for your benefit.
How dare you fail to take a knee and proffer a wad of cash when summoned?
