A big question that conservatives should be crystal clear on is how many senate RINOs must be given the boot, or neutered by increasing the relative number of conservatives in the senate.
It’s a combination. Say there are eight offensive RINOs left. If we eliminate four in the primaries, but our majority in the senate is still minimal, then the remaining four will still be able to block the conservatives.
However, if conservatives can *also* increase their numbers in the senate by four, then the remaining RINOs will not be able to block the conservative agenda any more.
So, how do things stand?
RINO Jeff Flake (AZ) will likely be replaced by a conservative.
RINO Dean Heller (NV) is vulnerable and could be replaced.
RINO Luther Strange (AL) is likely to be replaced by a strong conservative.
RINO Susan Collins (ME) may leave the senate to run for governor.
The Democrats could be in for a slaughter.
Claire McCaskill (MO)
Joe Donnelly (IN)
Joe Manchin (WV)
Heidi Heitkamp (ND)
Jon Tester (MO)
Other at risk Democrats
Bill Nelson (FL)
Bob Casey Jr. (PA)
Tammy Baldwin (WI)
Debbie Stabenow (MI)
Sherrod Brown (OH)
Plus, Bob Menendez (NJ) could be forced to resign and be replaced with a Republican by Chris Christie, but that could either be a RINO or conservative. In either case...
