according to that wisdom, we MUST give the dems a few presidents once in a while, or our side would slip to their side. does that make sense in those words? to keep power, you must give in?

Yes. Preferably doing things in rotation so that the balance of power is never really thrown to the other side, some RINOs should be thrown to the dogs occasionally.

Consider three incumbency states: Good Republican in office; bad RINO in office; Dem in office. If a good Republican is in office, hopefully things will stay that way. And if a Dem is in office, a good Republican might get in next term. But if a bad RINO is in office, the next election probably won't improve things, since Republicans seldom seem to replace retiring RINOs with good Republicans. While there may be timing reasons why giving a RINO a term may be a reasonable idea, one should recognize that doing so will delay the possibility of getting a good Republican.

id rather have a bad RINO followed by a middle of the road dem followed by a good republican; than a good republican followed by a "good for the dems" dem. you let a dem win after a good republican, it only makes them have office sooner
