You've got a nice home and car with the Republican Party and you've sworn to be with them until "death do you part". So wipe year tears, put some make up on your black eyes, try not to use your broken arm for a few weeks and smile while you pray the GOPe doesn't have to smack you around again. And if anyone asks, remember you ran into the door frame again. And if you try to leave, well... accidents worse than running into the door frame can happen.

The question is whether the method of putting the country first is to go for the short term win and let the GOPe have this one (again), or punish them in a way they will always remember and go for a longer term win for the country. And looking at how the GOPe is draining the Virginia party accounts to punish Brat, I no longer take their call for "party unity over all" seriously.

Good point, re Virginia. They must think that they are superb covert operatives and we can’t see these things. Yes indeed, we see their “party unity”.

The question is whether the method of putting the country first is to . . .

Don't you get it yet? The Republican Party is not putting the country first. They took money that was donated to defeat Democrats in November and gave that money instead to Democrats in order to defeat a Republican in June. To hell with that. And to hell with you do question our patriotism and our desire for putting this country first which is contrary to what Thad Cochran's puppeteers just did.

My apologies. After re-reading your post, I see my response was inappropriate.
