It sure would be nice to have no RINO districts, but that’s not going to happen soon, if ever.
People today have more access to more sources of information than ever before. No one is locked in to the MSM. Yet there’s never enough to educate the vast majority of the electorate.
That said, it’s not the vast majority that votes in primaries. It’s the party’s activists. They are the party’s most educated and most motivated. Yet they still didn’t seem to realize that if they did not unite and rally around a more conservative candidate, they would get a less conservative nominee.
The “my way or the highway” mentality has become so pervasive and so pernicious that even in a place like FR, there was practically zero unity around one conservative candidate.
So the base fragments and will continue to do so. In the meantime, the party will be looking around for whoever they can get to replace those who continually go on strike. By definition, those replacements will not share the strikers’ views. Thus, the strike causes the party to continue to shift leftward.
