You support a Democrat turncoat and won’t question why he got so easily elected in a corrupt state like IL?
Incredible but true. No one in the ILGOP vetted this man. And I’m not cheering. Why should I?
NO TO RINOs!
Being from Maryland, I do have a little background here. And I understand that if we wait for the perfect candidate who meets all our requirements, we will have far-leftwing office holders until the end of time.
If we have the Dems in office, we have no influence whatever, and never will.
If we have a Pubbie, even one that is flaky-left but is the best we can elect in a blue state like Maryland or Illinois, you at least have a little influence and a chance to slant things right, as opposed to having a total lefty that you have NO influence over and will absolutely destroy everything we believe in.
I would equate it more to the Pacific campaign in WWII, where you take the islands incrementally and win, rather than go for it all at once and lose hard.
