We got rid of that RINO in Virginia and he was the House whip or something like that. Primaried him out.

That's one State, not nation-wide races. Usually, you can get rid of a Rino once he realizes he won't be able to win as the incumbent. They will normally choose to not run for re-election. But there are way too many other Rinos scattered across the other States. You'll never get rid of them all, especially people like Murkowski, Collins, McConnell, etc. They are too entrenched, even if you put up a true Conservative candidate against them. People will still vote for the Rinos.

DeSantis has been able to get more Conservatives in office state-wide (smaller area), but would he be able to do it nation-wide? I don't think he'd do any better than Trump in getting rid of Rinos. Has DeSantis even railed against Rinos? Democrats are one thing but has he attacked anyone in his own party that serves within his State? Are there any Rinos he can attack? I don't live in Florida. We've got our own political problems here in New York State. We'll never have a Republican Governor again, or Republican U.S. Senators...not in what time I have left on earth. And any vote Republicans cast for President, it's the heavily populated down-state counties that always give the Democrat candidate the State, even though the rest of the counties in the State are red. It's a sad state of affairs indeed.
