You persist in thinking that RINOs are our own. They are not. They are liberals in Republican clothing. Their world view is not the same as ours. They don't vote for our values. RINOs are often just Dems who couldn't find an open ballot position.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Chaffee decide to switch to the Dem Party (where he belongs) after his defeat, and try later to run for the Senate again. Now, isn't there at least one more RINO up for re-election that needs to be crushed in the primary?

I understand that perfectly. What you do not understand is that you cannot advance your agenda when you are in the minority. Replacing a Republican, even one as liberal as Chaffee, with a Democrat is not helpful. And that is exactly what will happen in RI.

The energy and money spent to defeat Chaffee would have been much better spent defeating Democrats.

I hope you are right about the Republicans holding the Senate. Should that happen, it will be in spite of the best efforts of the conservatives in RI. Turning over a seat to the opposition is never wise.
