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.
McConnell’s wife sits on board of group working to kill coal industry
didn’t she just make an ad accusing Grimes of that??
I think you are correct. It is hard to consider them to be the same party.
