I seem to remember the northeastern liberal Republican is an endangered species, and at the currently serving federal elective level, almost completely extinct. I don’t think it’s reasonable to say that’s entirely social conservatives’ fault. They weren’t on the ballot in the Northeast. The moderates were. And given the choice between Diet Left and the real thing, the voters went for the real thing.
You are correct. Chris Shays was the last RINO Representative in New England.
Actually, there are 3 Republican Governors - in VT, CT and RI.
We shouldnt be listening to someone who was last elected in the 1990s, we should listen to the current elected leaders.
