It is best not to let dislike of GOP RINOs overwhelm realism and sound strategy.
***We’ve had 40 years of unipary GOPeRINOs running things. You call that realism and sound strategy, then you’re part of the problem. You’re a Whig.
The best approach to keeping the GOP on track is to have a good Republican successor to Trump and an aroused base of activists.
***And those aroused base of activists are ready to jettison GOPeRINOs. Try not to stand in the way.
As a matter of practical politics, I favor exemplary punishments of unreliable RINOs but not purges or mass expulsions. More than once over decades in conservative politics, I have seen RINOs fall into line once it was made clear that they were no longer in charge. If this seems less than fully satisfying, one might consider that the goal is not purity but to attain and keep a majority in order to run the country.
exemplary punishments? Never gonna happen. Of course, it’s just as easy for you to say that the party never gonna split.
At some point in time, the centre cannot hold. RINOs like to think they’re the center of the party but they aint. They’re just assistant democrats.
Meanwhile, polls show most of the country thinks Trump was cheated out of reelection, with Biden's approval rating so low that he lacks political clout in Congress with his massive spending plans in jeopardy due to Democratic infighting. The Durham report and likely new indictments have the Dems chugging Pepto. And it looks A MAGA wave is building, with Trump more popular than ever and the GOP near certain to reclaim control of Congress by large margins.
With the forensic audit effort gaining strength, the key GOP states affected may end up with enough proof to decertify Biden's electoral vote margin, which could set up the impeachment and removal of Biden and Harris in early 2023. But wait -- I hear a complaint -- that we should instead divert our attention to a mass RINO purge from the GOP, as if conservatives are some sort of Stalinists or Red Guards.
That is not for me. I prefer to take the victory and enjoy having Trump and a MAGAfied GOP run the country for a generation. Who cares if a few RINOs survive and whine to their pals at the pinochle table at the country club that Trump is so crude and has such awful tweets.
