The Republican party pretends to give us candidates we choose, while in reality it’s literally a good-ole-boy country club with nothing but assholes that feel entitled because they paid their dues... nepotism... and folks that are bought off by corporate America and a handful of oligarchs (indistinguishable from the Democrats).
Occasionally you get someone the people actually really like i.e. a Trump or Palin.
Those folks get mauled by their own party.
The assholes and this asshole party which sometimes actually has the audacity to claim it’s conservative (You know, “real” conservatives like the McCain’s, Bush’s, Romney’s, McConnell... which define this party) can’t have folks like that get in their way. After all, they paid their dues and it’s their turn.
What you said!
100% correct!
Just watch the way the GOP handles next year’s primaries.
