What if the disgusting elitists steal the nomination? They're going to be even more arrogant and disdainful than they were after stealing that nomination for Cochran.
It'll be: "We got the nomination without doing anything to appease our voting fodder. We don't need voters. Let's take even more from the middle class, since they can't stop us. Let them eat cake".
If that ever happened, we'd be better off voting for Democrats. They at least pretend to care for the middle class.
I think in such an event, you are right on target.
