“RINOs need to be defeated in Primaries!!!!”
That bears daily repeating.
Killing the GOP in a general election because your guy didn’t win the primary usually means when he runs again he will be running against an incumbent and maybe one who got two or four more years as an incumbent, and Congressional incumbents have allot of non-financial advantages in an election.
Better your lost-primary candidate simply take the experience as lessons-learned and try again, while you and he/she go out and support the party’s primary winner.
If Republicans aren’t voting for conservatives in the primaries... then Republicans aren’t the conservative party.
And as such, conservatives need to leave and form a party that actually WILL represent them.
That has nothing to do with it. Conservatives vote for Conservatives. Why is that so hard to understand? The support given to Republicans by Conservatives is deep and wide, and longstanding. But it must be within certain and well known parameters. As long as Republicans are within those Conservative borders, they are supported with out fail, and with all the loyalty one could possibly ask for.
In fact, It is so much the case that Republicans take it for granted. But it is *not* the case, nor has it ever been. When Republicans are not Conservative, they are dropped like a hot rock, and when the party suffers likewise, it can expect the same treatment.
We will be represented, or we will not participate. We have all the muscle, and can certainly go build a party of our own, and I think it high time we do.
