We sent Republicans, certainly.
But more than enough sent people they knew were RINOs. South Carolina, Arizona, Kentucky, Utah, Texas, and people in supposedly red states just went with whomever had the thickest country accent, could recite enough Bible verses, posed well with a gun, took enough photos with vets, played the most country music at rallies, and otherwise put on the best act.
A bunch of the so-called conservatives gladly put the RINO leadership back into power.
We have only Trump at this point, and at least a congress that isn’t run by Democrats. Maybe if we get on the rears of Congress can that mule start pulling the cart, but it will be difficult.
Mississippi conservatives tried our damndest to elect a real conservative, Chris McDaniel-he made it to a tie in the primary against Thad Cochran, the senile old coot-the RINOs pulled out all the stops to get McDaniel defeated-they paid ‘rats to vote in the run-off for Cochran, they paid black ‘rat preachers to denounce McDaniel as a racist with absolutely no basis, the Barbour clique undermined McDaniel, and conservative voters, every way they knew how. They played as dirty as I’ve ever seen, and they didn’t care who knew it either.
They got Cochran re-elected-—a man who, in his senility, joked about banging the farm animals, who is so senile he couldn’t find his way around the Congress building anymore, and has to be guided.
How do we fight such entrenched, and arrogant, because they know their own power, and dirty fighters who were supposed to be on our side, the conservative side, when they want their bought-and-paid-for people there, because they are in good with the lobbyists and have a relationship with them nurtured over decades?
