A lot more rotation going on this year, which is a good thing.
Absolutely and its good to see the RINO purge.
Yep, Vote The Bums Out! Seems strangely familiar.
Gee, why do you suppose that is? Perhaps because Republican voters have grown weary of RINO pricks?
Trump changed the game....
Seeing the results of it in all of this.
Could it be that Republican voters are starting to vote on the basis of results instead of rhetoric? Is that possible? /sarc
It’s obvious that Republicans are a lot more democratic than Democrats.
Trump Effect
5% I’m not willing to call that rotation.
“5% I’m not willing to call that rotation.”
It’s a beginning.
And these figures don’t include “voluntary” retirements, because the incumbents realize they wouldn’t win their primaries.
More RINOs must be lustrated from the Republican Party to clear the way for the MAGA agenda.
I wish someone great would primary my Rep, VERN BUCHANAN who does NOTHING!!~! POSITIVELY NOTHING but PET (animal) issues!! WASTE OS SKIN!
Good news! We don’t have to vote all of the RINOs out to put the fear into the rest of them. This will have an outsized impact on future RINO behavior and voting.
