republicans have always made deals with the devil (rats). Where do you think 'voting for the lesser of two evils' comes from? These 'deals with the devil' are why we are where we are. I and many others are done with devil dealing republicans.
It’s one thing to do that with RINOs, it’s another to lose with principles only to allow Communists to take over like the 2 Democrat Senators from Georgia.
The people of Georgia must think Brian Kemp has done a good job, they reelected him by a wide margin, you may not like him, but you should deal with him.
Georgia is a place where a solid conservative can and should win, you don’t have to like the people you work with, but you should respect them and work to get things done, deliberately attacking them is a losing strategy as Georgia has proven.
Other variations I've heard over the years :
"Vote for the one who has the best chance of winning"(usually in reference to the GOPe preferred candidate, like Mitt Romney or John McCain)
"Demographics is destiny"(said often when George W Bush was pushing amnesty for illegals)
"Don't complain, the time to choose candidiates is during the primaries" (often, the best lies have a kernal of truth. While true on the surface, it usually is/was Used when a Dem lite candidate in the GOP shows their true colors, and operatives try to drum up lukewarm support from the hoi polloi)
Each has been said/used by the same bunch who had a cow when Trump or Tea Party/MAGA candidates won, often with the smugness of a Bill Krystal or Karl Rove type.
That is because especially in the US Senate we have 3 or 4 RINOS that constantly vote with the Dems on key issues. Unlike the Dems that always stick together on key votes.
