I want the GOP to retain 55 Senate seats and hopefully add to them.
It is us or them. I know the left. I do not underestimate them or their agenda. There is a huge difference between the GOP and the donks. Neither may be conservative, so from a conservative POV, there is no difference. However, from my pragmatic POV and based on what I know of progressives from personal experience, I'll take the GOP in power, rather than out.
Many of us do not invest totally in any one politician. Incrementalism works....look at what we have to deal with even now, even with governmental power to the center right, just because the left has bureaucratic and cultural hegemony.
I am not going to aid or abet them one whit. No one will learn any lessons and I, my family and friends and my country will really suffer. No thanks.
Your blind spot is you think you know the left, and we don't.
Just because your name is reformedliberal, doesn't mean you're the only one. Many of us learned to hate the tiger, because we rode on it for so long.
We survived eight years of Clinton the last time a Bush sold us out. We'll survive until the right figures out it needs to fear it's own more than the left if it wants to stay in power.

I am with you.
