In the Texas State Legislature, they have a Republican majority, but those Republicans you say conservatives complain are not pure enough, have given the Democrats power, because they are not with the conservative Republicans.
So, perhaps you do not fully understand that some Republicans are indeed not worth voting for. What good are these Republicans, if they continually go against the majority of the base?
Can you explain how these Republicans help the cause?
Perhaps the problems lie within the Republican structure, or perhaps it is people like yourself that keeps returning these people to office because you only think that having the majority is enough to get what is needed enacted to turn around the ship.
If only that were the reality.
How about voting for the other Republican running in the primary ,instead of sending the same disappointing legislator back to yet again stymie the conservative agenda.
The definition of insanity is to keep trying the same thing over & over again and expecting a different result this time.
Perhaps with a new candidate, those people just might come vote, instead of sitting out the election. You know already, that they will not come out to vote for the incumbent who repeatedly betrays them & their vote.
“That Republican you talk about usually votes with the Democrats anyway. That is the point you miss.”
The Republicans that I talk about are the ones in the Senate, and I’d you to point out a SINGLE Democrat in the US Senate that votes more conservative than the worst Republican in the Senate.
It’s not possible. Trump got his Supreme Court justices through BECAUSE OF RINOs, even though some voted against him...but NEVER all of them, more like one or two out of 10 voted against him. For example Cornyn, who clearly fits your description of “usually voting with the Democrats”, but he voted for EVERY TRUMP JUDGE.
...so, again, which Senator voted for all of Trump’s judges, or even most of the contested ones? NONE.
‘Purity’ demands on our side simply EMPOWERS DEMOCRATS at this point, whether or not we’re capable of understand that. Go back a couple of decades, to the days of Lloyd Benson, and there was some overlap between the parties...but not anymore, not by a long shot.
Or, as in the case of Jim Lankford of Oklahoma, Democrats run as Republicans. And win.
