Well, as long as we're repeating ourselves....

From the first thread you posted on this earlier today:

"Sen. Cody Rogers, of Tulsa, lost to Republican challenger Aaron Reinhardt, of Jenks, in the Senate District 37 race. Gov. Kevin Stitt recently campaigned for Rogers, telling supporters that special interest groups were out to get the incumbent, who does not always vote the way Senate leadership wants him to vote."

The ignorati on FR always assume that every Republican who is defeated in a primary MUST be a "RINO" and therefore their defeat is a wonderful and glorious thing. They have to "assume" because they've never heard of any of these people and are clueless about how they vote, and everything else about them.

In this case, Rogers was one of the mostly good ones though he may not have been perfect in every possible way (gasp!) but defying the Senate leadership was a positive thing -- so the RINOs got his scalp as a result. This happens rather frequently in hyper-Republican states where liberal Democrats disguise themselves by putting an "(R)" after their names, which allows the GOP establishment to utilize them to topple pesky conservatives, as they did here.

BTW, these threads are all about what happened at the STATE legislative level, not Congress.

No incumbent congressional RINOs lost (not Tom Cole, nor Frank Lucas), and they didn't even break a sweat while winning. The 64% Cole got was hardly impressive for a big-$$$ incumbent, but anyone who really expected Bondar to defeat him was pipe-dreaming. Woulda been nice, but he never had a ghost of a chance.

Instead of an upbeat headline like, “GOP Challengers Unseat Four Incumbents in Primary,” instead they make the entire GOP sound like they’re losing. Typical Newsweak.

I’m always interested to see these states that have so many counties. OK is 65.5K square miles and 77 counties. By contrast CA is two and a half times bigger At 156K square miles, but only has 58 counties
