We have two years of listening to them destroy anyone but their own, if that individual even exists, and then after they refuse to vote to "send a message", and the RAT they elected by not voting starts to run amok, they will whine and complain for another two years.
But, hey, they are "dickless with dignity!"
“Conservative Purists” ?
Maybe, but if you don’t look for the best candidate, you end up with those who are all things to all people and stand for nothing.
I asked the question in 2012 at the stage of 6 or so in the GOP debates: “Is this the best the GOP has? If so, they are in serious trouble.”
If you don’t expect better, you get another middle-of-the-road spineless also-ran.
