The funny thing is, they forgot one very important fact on the
trek to review this dynamic.

What is that fact? All but a very few of the Republican members
of the House are anywhere near what we would consider a
Conservative.

In other words, if you’re a Republican retiring from the House,
there’s about an 85-90% vs 10-15% likelihood you are a retiring
RINO.

Now is this driven by an aversion to Trump? LOL, well I would
say most likely not. Most of them sat comfortably through Trump’s
term in office. That would have been when they were going to
step down, if they really didn’t like his agenda and tactics.

Consider also that the Democrats have the election scam factor
going strong. Tell me again what RINOs have to fear in the House
right now?

Well, not much.

We saw two House election cycles under Trump. Did we gain seats
or lose them?

Everyone who is certain we’re really going to clean up in 2022
and 2024, you might want to think about that.

You’ll be doing the same things that were done in 2018 and 2020.
How did that work out for us.

You’re points are well taken, but also consider:

- 50 republicans retired in 2018, most of them Boehner boys. They retired with the specific purpose of giving the Democrats the House (recall the glee in Brett Baer’s voice in announcing, while polls were still open mind you, that the Democrats had taken control).

- Republicans GAINED twelve seats in 2020

The people are watching. One bad vote, no Trump endorsement for you, and you’re out.

I suspect that you (hopefully) understand that there will not be an honest election for the foreseeable future.

‘22, ‘24, you’re kidding, right ?

Well in 2018 we lost them. But with Paul Ryano as SOTH what would you expect? But in 2020 we gained seats and are within 5 or 6 of taking control.

Those in the Senate that are up for reelection in 2022 were elected last time in 2016 when Trump won office. Despite being Vichy Repugs they could ride out his term, but now they know the jig is up and they don’t have any America First cred to campaign on.

This appears to be very poor sentence construction. I believe you meant ONLY rather than ALL BUT.

There were a lot of retirees in 2018. RINOs.
