The math is inescapable. Voting against your own interests in order to send a message is not rational and is highly unlikely to be effective. The only rational plan is to take over the party from within.
I am voting for certain Republicans in AZ, as I always do. I will NEVER vote for a Republican who supports amnesty, as it will destroy our economy, and then our country.
Why would anyone sit home on a major election day. There is more than one race to vote for. Choosing not to enter a choice in certain races does not mean there are not other choices to make. And even if you could not vote for anyone then it would still be better to turn up and submit a blank ballot. Or a write in. “None of the above” is recorded somewhere.
The truth is that sitting on your hands because the Republican isn’t pure enough for your liking does nothing but get DemocRats elected. And THAT hastens the demise of our country and way of life.
Allow me to summarize:No, there is no flaw I could find in that whatsoever.
The solution is what it has always been. Stop feeding the problem. If you want toe GOP to turn right, you stop giving it approval everytime it runs leftist candidates. You do that by not voting for their leftists.
If you vote for their leftists, you have given them your approval and as has been repeated for 30 years, they run an even more leftist.
This is all basic civics 101 stuff. We have said this for years and been ignored by people that new better. Well here we are. 100% the fault of people that ignored the founders, Reagan, basic logic and common sense a 5 year old could manage.
There is no magic bullet. You want conservatives? Really? Then start now. There is no tomorrow, no next time. Thats crap. You start by saying no today to leftist republicans. And if it hurts? Pay attention next time.
We are fin at 80%. Thats 1 in 5 liberal votes. How far are you willing to go ? Shove the purist crap.
I agree. Insisting on the perfect candidate before you will cast a vote is a gimme for the DemocRats. DemocRats LOVE purist conservatives.
I don’t like Rinos either but you gotta admit that you look much better astride a huge Rino than you do trying to ride a rat.

Read post 102. I don’t sit on my hands. YOU are sitting on YOUR hands, voting RINOS into office, not me!
If you like your corrupt Republicans, you can keep them ;)
No shortage of them either.
