What the GOP establishment believes is that you can’t win with out the moderates. What the last 12 elections have show (from both parties) is that you can’t win without your base.
If your base is fired up and you turn out your base, you win. If your base is NOT fired up, you don’t get money, you don’t get volunteers, you dont get the campain support you need.
The GOP establishment is playing chicken with conservatives beliving that the conservatives will once again hold their noses and vote for whoever the GOP establishment puts up. I dont believe that will be the case. I believe they will lose that game of chicken. Conservatives are fed up with the RINO mentality.
I still believe in miracles and am praying for one that cannot be stated here-God’s hand is capable of providing such a miracle and in such a way that is completely beyond what we can ask or think. My only concern is that America is so arrogant, so unrepentant that God will not answer such a prayer, but I rely on His unfailing love to provide His grace, No matter what the fina outcome is in November.
