Rush is wrong. Both parties must go. Rush can join the blue dogs. RINOs dilute the brand image.
The time to throw RINOs out is during the primaries.
If conservatives can’t defeat RINOs in a Republican primary, then they sure as hell can’t beat Democrats in a general election.
Conservatives need to take back the GOP.
That would be a lot easier and more successful than trying to start a new party.
And how long do you think a new party could go until it became infested with the same RINO types as the GOP?
The only way to keep them out is to be electorally unsuccessful. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about the party becoming diluted.
