“Plus he’ll probably vote more conservative and listen to the base more. We need as many seats as we can get.”
I disagree. He’ll have NO incentive to vote more conservative. If he wins in November, he will be further incentivized to vote how he wants, having successfully gotten through his primary and then the general, with little comeuppance.
You may be right. We’ll see. But these types don’t often see the light and change. It’s better to be rid of them.
be rid of them...

Of course he's still better -- probably -- than any Democrat even though his opponent isn't likely to be some nutzoid AOC-clone but, if anything, Newhouse (emboldened by his successful defiance of Trump) is more likely to try to become the next Cheney or Kinzinger and be the new "independent" media darling who opposes conservatives every chance he gets.
