OK, that’s fine and dandy. Now explain to me how that really helps with anything. All it did was make the Republicans look foolish and aimless. Tell me how this makes any moderate more likely to vote Republican. And before you say “moderates don’t matter, they aren’t ideologically pure enough” think about how many elections you will win with 25 or 30% of the vote. Principles are fine, but you can’t make policy unless you win elections.
Your points are well-presented, but it’s not Gaetz who “make the Republicans look foolish and aimless” ... the Party does an outstanding job of that without any additional help ... and they do so consistently.

So business as usual is OK? Continue backstabbing Conservatives because the moderates will be happy?
I refuse, as a CONSERVATIVE to get in the back of the bus while backstabbers are in the driver’s seat. I refuse to get up and give my seat to more rino’s. The CONSERVATIVES outnumber the “moderates” ITS TIME THE MODERATES MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE BUS!!!
It’s time to govern as Conservatives and WIN seats instead of turning the base away from the polls.
Those “moderates” you favor have done enough damage to the Republic! Time to send these backstabbers packing.
