Agreed.

Conservatives are at an inherent disadvantage in this contest with establishment Republicans for the soul of the party. We strive to save the Republic and they strive to protect their Rice bowls.

When this primary season ended we are faced with a bleak choice: We either blink, hold our nose and vote for Rinos or we witness one national travesty after another with Democrats in control, in this case of the Senate. Rinos are relatively unconcerned about who controls the Senate, their concern is with maintaining their place on the roster of players, the game itself is secondary to them. As long as the battle for control of the party occurs in primaries we are at a disadvantage in the general elections. We must either learn to win primaries or we must wrest control of the party in a different contest and we must gain control of the finances.

We conservatives, however, are rapidly approaching the inflection point at which the fate of the country no longer depends on saving the country from Democrats because Rinos in charge at best only delay the reckoning.

Soon, if not in this election, there will be no reason to vote establishment Republican because it simply won't matter.

Good post.

Occasionally reality imposes itself in such a frightful manner that even the emptiest of suits awaken from their stupor long enough to do the right thing for a moment in time.

And go down in history as the Men of the Hour.

I’m not that hopeful this time out, I have no such faith in this current crop of suits. I fear that we are headed for a reckoning. My only solace is the knowledge that God likes me personally. Most everyone else is in deep trouble, though, if they are depending on these losers to see them through.

It will be a national travesty with R’s or D’s. The best case scenario is a civil uprising

There's not but one way to end this vicious cycle.
And that's to go through the "fiery trail" .
WE MUST CLEAN HOUSE!
The "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" ARE WORSE than the 'RATs !

You are two decades too late with this recipe.

Uhmmmm……….. 'rapidly approaching'???? I say that is rapidly past and over now. The reckoning is at our door and the consequences are now unavoidable. There are myriad laws that the Ruling Class have exceedingly violated, laws of economics for example that, like gravity, will exert it's force upon us all due to their gross violations.

Soon, if not in this election, there will be no reason to vote establishment Republican because it simply won't matter.

We are already there. Many simply choose not to accept it because they are infected with a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.

Why the hell would any sane and thinking person vote for a candidate and party that declared WAR upon you and your principles/faith and vow not only to crush you wherever you are found - but state publicly that they will ensure you can never field a candidate in a general election??

[RitaOK]

You are absolutely right.

The primaries are theater for the voters, but the outcomes are clearly bought. Conservative candidates are without the big global money, Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce, and certainly prey for corrupt media.

Democrats don’t spend a dime against conservatives, because they can depend on the media and the RINOS FOREVER cult to give them the business.

Love the rice bowl reference. What a gret movie. The Sand Pebbles.
