seems to be a lot of fair weather friends here tonight.
The Republican party is now deciding to take the situation that is and now pull together.
Instead of seeing this a positive, most of you are sounding like spoiled little kids, arms folded, scowling out from under your eyebrows, lower lip stuck out - .... grow up
*We* are not the children in this scenario — it’s the GOP that has been acting like a wayward child by continuing to push poor candidates. If you want to get a wayward child back in line, you can’t just keep making empty threats but then giving in to whatever the kid wants to do. There have to be consequences.
I understand the “lesser of two evils in cataclysmic times” argument, and I’m not going to flame anyone for going that direction.
I also understand the argument that in cataclysmic times, we absolutely must have a bona fide conservative choice...and the fastest way to get to a truly conservative president who will turn our Republic back in the right direction is to force the issue with the Republican party. Forcing the issue means withholding the best bit of leverage we have: votes.
The folks who believe in the latter approach are not taking that path out of petulance — they’re doing what they believe is the best thing for our country.
