McConnel, Cornyn and the rest must have known this would drive away conservative voters. I don’t understand their “end-game” in all of this.
What is to be gained by eliminating the support of a large portion of your voter base?
More democrat representatives, less power for Republicans, and thus less responsibility.
They then will continue to do token actions and whimper while saying, “But we triiiiiiied” all while doing a Boehner and caving whenever they could take a real stand.
In other words, business as usual for the RINOs.
