Yes the violent base will. They will do anything to win. Putting up these kinds of guys is a good way to fool people. Once they take the house they will go far left and ole Conner will be forced to vote with them. Not that he has to be forced. Either way, he is a good actor.
The thing is that they can’t do this in a normal election cycle. They are spread too thin.
And if they actually try it, the radical leftist base will go nuts. They are not able to “nod and wink” as they put up fake conservative. It’s not how these useful idiots work.
Reminds me of the Shave and a Haircut scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. :)
