A liberal republican is NEVER the lesser of two evils. It would be better to have a democrat hold the seat for a term than allow another John McCain, another Jim Jeffords, another Lisa Murkowski, another Susan Collins, another Olympia Snowe, another Richard Lugar, another Lamar Alexander into the Senate.
We’ve seen what they do once they’re given power. We’re both from Massachusetts. We saw Scott Brown pull the same tricks. No thanks!
I take you back to the early days of Obola.ObamaCare was up for the crucial vote in the Senate.The senior Senator from Chappaquiddick had recently passed on to his eternal damnation and,in a special election,Scott Brown was amazingly elected to replace him.Brown's *entire* campaign was "I'll vote against ObamaCare" (I know...I was here).
This fact didn't go unnoticed by Harry Reid.Although Brown had been duly elected Reid would not allow him to be seated until *after* that vote thus allowing the Rat Party pig that Coupe Deval had appointed to temporarily fill the seat to be the 60th "yes" vote.
And BTW....at the Trump rally I attended in New Hampshire in August of last year Scott Brown was the "warm up act" for DJT.
FYI

The Republican Party is what it is, and always will be. A weak, unprincipled servant of the Chamber of Commerce.
People like McCain and the others you mentioned will always gravitate to, and influence, the party. I’m afraid Trump is but a brief interlude in the party’s long and disappointing (but quite predictable) history, much like Reagan was. The GOP cannot abide conservative principles and always reverts right back to weakness and appeasement.
The GOP will never be the conservative party that we need.
Yeah, good plan. And now you have Elizabeth Warren.
