I don’t understand why the gopE don’t understand it. If true conservatives stay home or vote third party, they lose. But if the gopE would get conservative, the moderates won’t stay home. The only way they can win is if they get both groups.
It’s not their job to win. The GOPe’s job is to keep the conservatives from winning.
Just see my tag line.
The GOP Establishment Pukes have no desire or motivation to WIN.
To be the WINNER is to be in charge. To be in charge brings ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY, and the OBLIGATION to actually DO SOMETHING!
In the current arrangement, the GOP Establishment doesn’t have to do anything except tell us that since they don’t have the votes, the RATs can wipe their butts with our Constitution all day long and we just have to take it.
In the meantime, the GOP Establishment can attend their slick Washington Parties, take nice Junket trips to far away exotic sites, have their Healthcare and Retirement funded by us. We pay for their haircuts, travel and everything else and they are not accountable to anybody.
Why on earth would they want to give all that up just to be expected to actually DO SOMETHING?
