The GOP establishment kinda reminds me of the Scots nobles in the movie Braveheart; generally only after their own interests and not of their constituents.
You are spot on.
I’ve never liked them anyway. Only reason they ever get my vote is because the dem will NEVER get my vote, and the libertarian will never win. So either vote libertarian, which is basicly giving the dem a one vote advantage, or vote for the republican and watch him only stomp on half my freedom “for my own good”.
