This is part of his problem - a big part. These RINOs surround themselves with loser consultants and 'experts' who do not know anything about real America. They DEPEND on GOPe losing each and every time. Every four years they crawl out from under their rocks and pontificate (I call it PDOOMA -pulling directly out of my a$$) about how establishment Republicanism just has to 'reach out more'. Assimilate more Hispanics, even bring gays under the big tent.
All the while still mealy mouthing about independents and moderates having that big voice, too. RINOs are well-accustomed to self delusion and the lies that have to go with it.
Yet nowhere in their calculus is an introspective examination about why they (GOPe) has pissed off so many conservatives to the point they've abandoned the party. They just prefer to think they can pander to Hispanics, business and big money and everything will be all right.
Not hardly, I'd rather get my butt wire brushed than vote for that Mexican. NEVER, not even.
The totalitarian State is upon us. Power is in the Party. The killings have not begun but they will.
Republicans think they understand history- the history of Communism in Russia and the inevitability of the triumph of Communism. They do not understand that in the history they think they understand, they are analogues of the Mensheviks and the Trotskyites and ultimately will serve as stars in the show trials to come..
Bingo.
