You can beat the establishment GOP in primaries.
You can’t beat the democrats in the general elections when the GOP establishment lines up with those same democrats, which is what they did when they could not beat a true conservative in the primaries, like what hey did to Cuccinelli, North, two attorney general candidates.
Brat won the general only because he was in a safe conservative district. Statewide, it’s the spiteful GOP elites who will kill any conservative because you need every GOP vote to beat the democrats and their 500,000 illegal voters (illegal aliens, green card aliens, felons.
The GOP establishment in Virginia is very comfortable with democrats.
