A dilemma - to vote for McCain or not. Husband and I not sure, friends not sure and my mother not sure. Can’t vote for Kirkpatrick, as she’s just another Hillary.
One Senator does not destroy the GOP majority, and he's not really worth keeping no matter the cost.
I’m not sure I’ve thought this through all the way, but I had the thought that we should vote for the RINOS this time, even though they betrayed us and we hate them.
Here’s my logic, for what it’s worth:
If Trump wins, he will deliver a death blow to the GOPe mentality because everyone will know he did it without their support and even despite their obstructionism. Their credibility as power brokers within the Republican Party is shattered. Good.
If everyone holds their noses and votes for the RINOs this will accrue to Trump’s benifit, since the “long coattails” is always viewed as a mandate. Trump will also benifit if republicans hold onto the house and senate, even if they are half RINO.
I think reelecting RINOs may be viewed as empowering them, just when we want to punish them. I get it. But I think just the fact of Trump winning will put them in their place and they will have to be contrite. They will know what the voters choice was - Trump. They will know who the Alpha is.
I think the proper way to get rid of the RINOs is reelect them and then primary them next time.
