“The path to getting a general election candidate who can win is the only thing we care about.”
The RINO Establishment has been given plenty of opportunity to get a general election candidate who can win, but hasn’t. If they’re just going to be “Democrat Lite”; then THEY are the ones who need to get out of the way. Governor Palin was the only reason I could hold my nose and vote McCain in 2008.
The Rhino’s a worried the Tea Party folks will take away their cushy sobs and perks. Support the Tea Party!!!!!
I agree.
The Republican Party has squandered the chance to give Americans a definitive choice, and has instead reasoned that they might win by being less of what their opponent is instead of something different. The reasoning, by virtue of the results, has disgusted the base and failed to energize new voters, some of whom are turning (in desperation) to third parties.
