Washington DC is a near total ideological bubble. The cult of Fed.gov and leftist ideology is overwhelming there.
It takes huge self-knowledge to resist it and great moral courage to hold views that a scorned by society there, and few self-proclaimed conservative politicians have that. So most break ranks, like prisoners in an ideological concentration camp.
Exactly. I keep thinking of that scripture “a house divided among itself cannot stand”. Trump is surrounded with traitors.
When a district has a powerful Democrat machine or incumbent, and a candidate can’t get in any other way, sometimes they just call themselves Republican so they can have a platform and try to say just enough to win. There are a lot of such in public office.
Also, obviously, the GOP does a poor job of ongoing education for incumbents and newly-elected officials, or vetting and training of candidates. Even worse than their self-defense strategies.
