I was under the impression that on this forum, collectively, partisanship is considered THE driving force in the destruction of the modern Republican Party in California. That partisanship is blind to principles if those principles are contemporarily unpopular. Further, that partisanship, in its present forum, is a following, not a leading.
Few are alarmed that the cart is behind the horse when backing up, but be mindful that you are backing up.
No. Conservatives voting for RINOs because "he can win" is THE driving force in the destruction of the modern Republican Party in California. Once the primary is over, support the candidate. Else the moderates have no excuse for their usual despicable behavior. The point is tactical, not partisan.
