“Are we better off passing as democrats under a RINO banner or as cadre for a new Republican (minority) party?”
This is a question that, with any luck at all, we won’t have to answer. Obviously, some are plenty happy to vote for a liberal as long as said liberal pretends to be a Republican. Whether that’s the way to go, or whether we should stick to our principles even if it means we’re out of power for a long time, is a decision that will be very difficult to make, if we are forced to make it.
Remember this is just a primary, not the election...we said weeks ago the primary voting would swing back and forth between the Rep candidates this year because there is no clear leader yet...
what we are doing is sorting the recyclables from the ‘other’til we have the nominating convention...
