Time we quit fighting each other and start fighting the people who are not only trying to destroy the Republic but are actually succeeding.
No, he was already like that. That is why he got a primary challenger.
You act like challenging his Lord and Majesty in the a primary is a declaration of war. He was the one who said he would use his office and his power in the party to stop TEA party candidates and move to punish PACs who fund those TEA Party candidates.
He is still doing it too.
When Cantor lost his primary, the local GOP decided to give away their GOTV money. The RINO left plays for keeps and you act like we should support them anyway. They have been doing stuff like this for YEARS and YEARS.
McConnell and the like are the enemy of conservatives. They have been for a long time.
To elaborate on both of your comments a bit... it would be nice if we could come together, but there is a fundamental disconnect between the establishment leaders and the party (Conservative) base.
To McConnell and Co., their interests are solely about preserving their own power and position. Conservative ideology, saving the Republic isn’t on their agenda (or at best is far down their list of priorities), while the latter remains the base’s goals. It’s virtually impossible to reconcile two completely different agendas. One is self-serving, the other noble and necessary.
McConnell/Cochran/McCain/Graham, et al, I don’t even consider to be in the same party as Ted Cruz or Mike Lee. They’ve become the Democrat opposition in tactics and in character. You’re never going to change them.
