For this reason alone the Republicans need to retain control of the Senate in 2018, RINOs and all.

Absolutely.

1000% disagree. Never defend a RINO. Not ever. They are the snipers wearing our uniform at our backs keeping us from giving the front lines of battle our undivided attention. They must go as they are discovered. It is only because so many of us were unwilling to support the RINO Romney, even at the cost of a second Obama term, that we have Trump today. Retaining control of the Whitehouse in 2012 with Romney at the helm was far worse for the conservatives in the bigger picture. Same for the Senate. Get rid of the cancer first, and worry about replacing it with healthy tissue second.

I agree. Control of the senate is critical

I'm currently undecided on that point. For too many elections people tell me to vote for the RINO otherwise another Dem will get in. I usually wind up regretting that because the RINOS cause as much damage, if not more sometimes, than Dems.

I really want to rid the place of the old timers... RINOs and Dems alike (there's not much difference these days). I think that getting new blood in there can be better than retaining some of the corrupt old swamp creatures.
