Now is not the time to be gentlemanly and take the high road. The Republicans need to realize that these aren't campaigns — we are at war for the very survival of the republic. Time to hammer the opposition. Hit it hard.
Unless of course, the Republicans are being blackmailed or coerced to throw the elections.
The RINO backstabbers are more interested in maintaining the status quo in DC and defeating conservatives. I'd actually be very afraid of the US Senate being taken over by back-stabbing RINOs who would use their new found power to defeat conservatism for good.
Our best bet might be an HOR that listens to its constituency because they're up for election every two yeans (they're pretty good now, but a few too many show their true colors when they can get away with it) and a US Senate minority with more real conservatives and a few of the back stabbing RINOs who work against us EVERY TIME losing.
JMHO
