No it was the establishment RINO’s. the conservatives have never had control of the party, we have been trying for years, but have not been in control
Exactly conservatives haven’t been in Controll since Reagan and to a lesser extent in Congress during Newt’s tenure.
sorry I missed your reply.
My Rep ran as a conservative as pure as Reagan himself, but immediately fell in with Boehner and now she has a 57% conservative rating.
Voted against her challenger last time around, but to no avail. Held my nose and voted for her in the General because I am not so much of a purist that I can’t see the damage done when Democrats are in power.
I have voted against every Democrat since ‘74, aside from a few local races where I had a personal/business connection to the candidates.
