“And he just created 25 new Democrats.”
I don’t know about that, but if those 25 still caucus with the Republicans, they are idiots. They should caucus as “Conservatives” and see who joins them.
That’s how you handle this sort of retribution. Leave, and let them come to you when they need you.
That is what I would do. Start a conservative caucus and cause as much mischief and hell raising to promote conservatism as possible. Inflict as much pain on both parties and show their stupidity at every turn.
What is the downside of a conservative caucus coming out and pointing out the duplicity and screwing the Uniparty is giving the people.
Start a House Conservatives Caucus.
