“”One of the things that angers me the most about our side. The Leftists IMMEDIATELY replace Republican holdovers because they MIGHT become a problem. Our side NEVER replaces Democrat holdovers even though they WILL become, not just a problem, but a real THREAT.””

And the question you have to ask is... are those on our side really that naive? Are they that stupid? Or are they just already compromised. I think we have a lot of ‘closet RINOs’ that we’re not yet aware of.
Perhaps they purposely fed them info to out them?
“are those on our side really that naive? Are they that stupid? Or are they just already compromised.”
Question 1 - Yes
Question 2 - Generally No, but it doesn’t matter due to Question 1.
The problem our side has is that they are in DC way too long. And in DC, there are something like 35 lobbyists for each member of Congress. The lobbyists ARE compromised because they are paid, big-time, by their masters (and the top lobbyists are often former elected Republicans). And with Republicans, who usually cannot imagine some people being inherently bad in DC positions of power (i.e., elected Democrats), the lobbyists, and to some extent, the Democrats themselves, are able to schmooze them with lines like “Do you think Americans will REALLY do landscaping in hot weather? Of course not, that’s why we need Amnesty” - Republicans reply: “Uhh, yeah, my children would never would never do that. Now where are we having dinner again?”. One more vote for Immigration “Reform”.
If the Elected Republicans were instead to go home and ask the base why we oppose ‘Immigration Reform’, we would answer that we’re not interested in changing our culture to be even more Third World and Tribal than it already is, and that the jobs that Illegals currently do would resolve themselves in different ways if Americans were forced to address them (example with Landscaping - perhaps we wouldn’t all need to have Better Homes and Gardens front lawns, but instead would look more like Seattle properties - crappy, but still perfectly functional, or somewhere in between - that’s what many of us grew up in, by the way).
