Amen! You’re either a principled conservative or you are not! Elections are not binary choices and don’t let any weak knee psuedo conservative convince you otherwise. I’m with you, I’ll never ever ever pull the lever for a RINO
Suppose your Never-RINO strategy succeeds, and the RINO loses to the Democrat. When the Democrat starts loading up the courts—including the SC—with rabidly, insanely leftist judges, how will you celebrate your victory? Will you pop the champagne? You will have helped to radicalize the courts leftward for the foreseeable future; how will you express your pride?
