No can do on the Simmons. RINOs are so yesterday.
In CT, we have RINO A (Simmons), RINO B (McMahon) and RINO C (Schiff). Schiff has the advantage of at least being economically conservative, but has the disadvantage of having no chance in the primary.
I have yet to see evidence that Linda McMahon, financier of the pro-abortion lobby, is less liberal than Rob Simmons. And she certainly doesn’t have the experience, profile, or national-security credentials to make her a better general-election candidate than Simmons (irrespective of what a couple of recent polls say).
Anybody but Simmons.
