I will never again vote for a RINO. We would have been better off if McConnell, and certainly Boehner, lost to Democrats. A RINO in public office not only helps Democrats, but he/she blocks a conservative from seizing that seat. Maybe a two pronged attack is the answer. Support conservatives on the GOP primary, and run independent conservative spoilers against RINOS when they get nominated to prevent them from winning.
Mark Levin had a pretty good idea.
Each cycle pick a GOPe Senator up for reelection and pull out all the stops to make sure he loses. That includes both a primary challenge and if necessary a general election challenge (either a third party one or organizing for voting for the Democrat).
It sends a message that we’re watching and will take action.
McCain needs to be the target this time around. I don’t know whether Arizona has a sore-loser law or not, but a primary challenge followed by a independent challenge in the general (even if by a different candidate) explicitly aimed at holding him responsible for his betrayals by getting him out of office would send a nice clear and loud message.

" After what happened with the Thad Cochran, McConnell thing it seems to me that corruption at the voting booth may be the biggest problem conservatives must solve IF they want to accomplish anything.....
From my prospective here in southern Ohio I find McConnell's reelection....baffling.
Ditto.
If the RINOs cared about my support, they would have supported Republican Tea Party candidates in 2010, gained control of the Senate, and been capable of blocking the ACA. I’m not certain this was something they wanted to accomplish. Instead, they were more concerned about controlling the party. Either Miller, O’Donnell, or Buck would have provided a blocking vote.
