Trump should be out in the open about this and aggressively recruit primary candidates who will work with him. Once one or two RINOs are knocked off many will have a “come to Jesus” moment with Trump. I saw a Rasmussen poll that stated 72% of Republicans supported Trump reaching out to rats to accomplish the agenda he ran on. I have no problem with this. This should make pubbies and rats alike take pause. Its been sold to us that Washington politics is a zero sum game , any gain to one wing of the uniparty is an automatic loss to the other wing. Trump has introduced a new player to the game, the American tax payer. Trump has shown that he couldn’t care less about the trditional Washington political game. With a few breaks Trump might pull this off.
I agree with you. Luther Strange is the first to send notice to the RINOs. Flake, Heller and Corker definitely have to go, too. Some of the others will fall in line, which will be good before the election, but once they are reelected, they will go back to their old ways. Senators feel so comfortable right after they just won a new 6 year term. We therefore will end up having to get rid of all of them if we want to continue to progress after 2018.
