Interesting theory that does make sense.

Why would the RINO Establishment want to win and win big IF that means that they will then be in a position to be held to account for their actions/inactions?

If they can maintain the stauts quo, they get to enjoy all of the perks and privileges of “power” without having the headache of accountability or responsibility.

How many times have we been told that “right now, we don’t have the votes to actually do something about these outrages of the day, but in the NEXT cycle, when WE have control...yada, yada, yada....”

I have a better idea. Let’s replace these spineless cowards with some REAL Patriotic Americans that will actually place the Country above their own personal interests?

I’ve always said a third party is needed. And if that party when a few seats in congress ask the republicans to caucus with them and see what they say. I guarantee if a third party won 40% of the house the republicans would help elect Pelosi speaker.

Their behavior makes sense IF you assume that the real objective of the Republican Establishment is to maintain the PRETENSE of there being actual opposition to Socialism.

In other words, the Democrat Leadership and the Republican Leadership are just a matching pair of sock-puppets for the Ruling Class.

As long as the Republican Leadership maintains just a pretense, without reality, then they can engage in graft, get invited to the best parties, sleep with cute lobbyists, etc, and the press will not "notice". The nightmare for the Ruling Class, though, is if the "bought" Republicans get replaced by Tea Party candidates who might rock the boat.
