Not at all. The GOP, as an organization, has failed us. Entirely, and repeatedly. Promoting someone from within their ranks, even if they “fit the mold”, so to speak, on some of the issues, will not really teach them a lesson. The mold needs to be broken entirely, and re-cast.
The people in charge need to be dealt a decisive blow that teaches them a lesson. We’ve counted to 1, 2, 2-and-a-half, 2-and-three-quarters, and as everyone knows, those liberal bargaining techniques don’t work as forms of discipline.
This time, hopefully, we’ve counted to 3, and it’s time to make good on the threat of a spanking.
Agreed. the GOPe have gotten far too comfortable in the role of “Loyal Opposition” for my comfort.
