Like Kentucky? Where the GOP establishment is running a Clinton supporter in the primary?
When talking liberal states I'll gladly take a RINO who will vote right half the time though over a Democrat will will vote wrong 100% of the time.
The problem with this analysis is what we have here is not a mere RINO, but an actual Democrat.
Kentucky is a different matter. That's a conservative state and the GOP could do a lot better. Does the “Clinton supporter” you are talking about have opposition?
