There are presently 5 State Senate Republicans and 13 State House Republicans in Massachusetts, but many of them are RINOs. In fact, many R’s in the bluest of blue states really are RINOs, and this has been an ongoing political trend for awhile, especially in the bluest of blue states. Until RINOs, at every political level, really are successfully defeated at the same calibur that leftist Democrats are defeated, conservatism will continue to struggle in making any kind of serious, long-term political inroads throughout the U.S. The GOP still has way too many RINOs working from within the entire political party.
I really think we are not at the end of the Democrat regime. I don’t even think we have hit bottom. I can not even think of a city that has hit bottom and tried Republicanism( what ever that is ). I don’t see why the whole state shouldn’t go the way of Lowell, Lawrence, Springfield, Brockton. Decades ago people fled the cities for the ‘burbs. Now they flee the state.
