Along with flipping some seats from D to R, could we maybe flip Maine from RINO to conservative? If Susan Collins runs for re-election, the GOPe will be sure to back her heavily, but Cruz in Texas has shown what’s possible.

Ummmmm.....ever noticed that Maine and Texas are...pretty different?

You can flip Maine from RINO to Democrat. That's it. It's not possible to elect a senatorial candidate in states like Maine, Delaware, etc. that would meet the purity standards of FR.

Of course, if your goal is to convert the party to a purely regional party of the South and Mountain West, with no chance of winning the Presidency, then that's fine.
