Yes. Anyone who seeks and holds a *political* seat and fails to have the IQ that politics always *requires* compromise to move the ball forward, is a fool, a hood ornament, a virtue signaling waste of space.
REAGAN understood this well, famously saying, “if you can get 75 or 80 percent of what you ask for, you should take it and fight for the rest later, instead of holding out for 100 percent and getting nothing.”
This approach was central to how Reagan built coalitions and passed legislation by rallying support from allies rather than demanding total agreement.
Reagan and Trump build coalitions to get 75-80% and win, instead of insisting on 100% or nothing and always failing to accomplish anything.
Rand and Massie are purist failures at moving the ball forward.
Which they both happily do, but you attack them for trying to move closer to our principles.
Or should everyone vote like the Bushies?
