You want to win a battle and lose the whole war. You are Penny wise, and Dollar foolish.

You cannot win a war without winning battles. Look where we are now with what the Democrats did with only two years of both houses and the White house. You want to give them more?
If the alternative is destroying the only movement which has any interest in reigning in our Federal Behemoth, then yes, I'd rather let the Democrats with "D" after their name keep it rather than let the Democrats with the "R" after their name have it.
The Democrats with "R" after their name are a far bigger problem than are the Democrats with a "D" after their name.
