Speaking of Virginia, the anti-Trumpers have a successful model for this intraparty sabotage from what the RINOs did to Ken Cuchinelli enabling, ironically, Clintonista Terry McAuliffe to win the governorship. No doubt those same delegates claiming they shouldn't be bound by the Virginia primary were part of the anti-Cuchinelli effort.
Does anyone internalize history or still have a memory?
In 1964 the No. East R Establishment left, among them Rockefeller/NY, Scranton/Pa, Cahill/NJ, Richardson/Ma and Romney/Mich( father of the current scumbag); produced TV ads forcefully attacking the character of GOP nominee Barry Goldwater; a distinguished USAF Brigadier General. Thus insuring his crushing defeat by Baines Johnson.
