Spot on.
There are districts where the republican that is not as conservative as others is the only one that can win the race. It is just fact. Folks who say otherwise and want to ignore simple math are missing the mark. Reagan had an 80 percent rule for a reason.
Committees in the House are set by a certain number. And the minority has basically zero power. All they can do is vote no, and that still won’t stop a dem bill. Do folks really want to rely on the Senate because they were stubborn and would not show up to vote for a Republican who, for what ever reason, they felt was not “pure’? Not if they have any sense. That’s how we got Obamacare.
And for the record, the mandate was the heart of Obamacare and now it is gone. The rest of it will collapse. And the only reason there was not a full repeal is because of the Senate. The house passed through several full repeal provisions.
Again, rather have someone who agrees with our side 70 to 80 percent of the time than not at all. And dems are not at all.
“Again, rather have someone who agrees with our side 70 to 80 percent of the time than not at all. And dems are not at all.”
You and I would agree. There are plenty of folks inhabiting FR that disagree. These would be the believers in the one party concept. There’s not a dimes worth of difference between Dems and Reps. In my mind the I’ll show you concept by voting dem or not showing up to vote, is a losing concept but it is difficult to sway the one party types. They have seen all they need to see.
I believe the real issue is with those elected to public office that almost never agree with a republican form of Government or with Republican Party Principles. In reality they should have a D next to their name instead of an R, and the R party lets it slide.
