What’s a “moderate?” Who wants to be one?
In this day and age of militant aggression by the Left, you’d better not be namby-pamby about issues, or you’ll lose.
The definition of a moderate is: one who votes with democrats and is easily removed from office by a democrat.
I did some research, among all the senate seats won by the democrats in the last thirty years, only two conservative senators have been defeated by democrats: Sununu and Santorum (and even these two were in democratic wave elections). In all other cases, democrats have taken seats from moderate republicans or retiring republicans.
This is why both the republican and democrat parties do everything they can to prevent real conservatives from being nominated or elected. Because they’re hard to defeat because they’re unafraid to stand for something.
There is no such thing as a Republican moderate. They are Democrats in disguise.
