Erick Erickson is a pathetic little Establishment Quisling. He has zero credibility.

As I have long suspected, the Republican Party has been well and truly infiltrated by the RATs.

That is a broad statement. If you are referring to the Primary Elections you have a point.

In the General, you support the Republican or you support the Democrat by not supporting the Republican. There are no third choices.

Civics 101 and the electoral system the Founders created proves that we have as many choices as that system allows for.

That you limit your vote to two evils is all our problem. You can say we have two choices. That is a false statement on it’s face. We have more. You CHOOSE to not vote for them. So you don’t get to complain when your liberal Republicans do what they are doing.

Oh you ‘can’. Good luck with that.

Most of the Conway attack ads have been recycled for McConnell’s Senate campaign.

So not only is the GOPe abandoning their operative, they’ve also supplied the opposition with lethal ammunition.

Sounds like the Benghazi operation.

Word is, they did give him ad money, but he wasn't spending what he raised on his own, so they stopped, in an effort to get him to dip into his own campaign chest.

I don't know how true that is, but it's at least possible.

Don’t be confused about what I Posted. I did not make a “false statement”.

When it comes down to the General Election, either the Democrat or the Republican will win. That is why the Primary Election is so important and that is where the choice are made.

In the General Election if you don’t Vote, you give the Democrat a Gift. Vote third Party, ditto. The outcome is certain. Howl at the Moon and you will get the same result.

>>>You CHOOSE to not vote for them. So you don’t get to complain when your liberal Republicans do what they are doing<<<

If you chose one of two Options I just listed, you can’t complain about what anyone does in Office, Democrat or Republican.

But it is a false statement because it’s a false choice in the real world of elections. If you can post a single American ballot for a presedential/house/Senate with only two choices on it I will retract.

In your mind and the minds of many, there are indeed two choices. Thus you elect our problems. In reality there are other choices, including a line for write in. If people took those choices we would not have Uniparty governance. The math is solid.

Some conservatives get perturbed when we label the RINOs as Trotskyites, communists, crony communists, etc., but all you have to do is read about it, and observe their actions. Political Science curricula generally produce a small variety of communist wannabees, each modeled after one or more models that have previously plagued human civilization, all designed to achieve total communist control of populations, with slightly differing methods.

Most of our professional politicians started with Political Science prior to law school, and people are shocked when their actions produce further ratcheting into the totalitarian abyss. Pay attention to their actions, not their words.

Cultural hegemony

The Communist intellectual Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937) developed the theory of cultural hegemony to further the establishment of a working-class worldview. In Marxist philosophy, the term cultural hegemony describes the domination of a culturally diverse society by the ruling class, who manipulate the culture of that society — the beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values, and mores — so that their ruling-class worldview becomes the worldview that is imposed and accepted as the cultural norm; as the universally valid dominant ideology that justifies the social, political, and economic status quo as natural, inevitable, perpetual and beneficial for everyone, rather than as artificial social constructs that benefit only the ruling class.[1][2]

In philosophy and in sociology, the term cultural hegemony has denotations and connotations derived from the Ancient Greek word ἡγεμονία hegemonia indicating "leadership" and "rule". Hegemony is the geopolitical method of indirect imperial dominance, with which the hegemon (leader state) rules subordinate states, by the threat of intervention, an implied means of power, rather than by direct military force, that is, invasion, occupation, and annexation).[3]

And now that Biden is in, if the rats nominate Biden instead of Hillary, there will be disgruntled women that cross over.

And if either Biden or Sanders win the popular vote but Hillary wins because the SuperDelegates have been fixed, then there may be a LOT of disgruntled Democrats.

You did not read what I said or you purposely ignored it.

I said either a Democrat or Republican will win an Election.

I am not including Vermont in that statement, they love Bernie no matter what Party he represents, Socialist, Communist, Nazi, makes no difference to the Brain Dead Liberals living there. Exceptions to the Rule.

You can have 100 3rd Party Candidates on a General Election Ballot, but there will be no Winner amongst them. A wasted Vote is all you are left with.

BTW Norm, I wasted my Vote on Perot in 1992. Dumbest Vote I ever Cast. Living in CA it made no difference because Clinton had it in the bag, but I still regret it Decades later.

This conversation is going nowhere, but thanks anyway.

It’s going nowhere because you refuse to address reality. Bernie sanders is neither Dem nor Pub. He got elected. Many Indys have been elected.

It doesent matter what hypothetical box you come up with. On real world ballots, there are choices. If a dem or Pub gets elected and destroys America it’s because voters chose to destroy America through liberalism. They could have chosen, like many to elect an Indy, a conservative etc. And as history shows us that such have in fact been elected in the past and currently govern in DC today, it can be done. Thus the idea that there is only Dem or GOP is a false statement, multiply disproven liberal/GOP propaganda and a false choice. Period.
