It is dead because it is infested by a bunch of professional politicians who are more interested in keeping the power that they have, even if it is second-tier power.
It is dead because all of the old time RINOs brag about ‘being there with Ronnie’ in the early days, but can’t seem to remember that the country they are supposed to be serving needs Ronnie-like action instead of BS appeasement to a bunch of liberals whose ONLY goal is complete power - power over our lives, our thoughts, our fortunes, and the minds of our children.
Yes, some of the RINOs were there, but they were there only for the power, and they didn’t and still don’t have a clue about what real America means. They mean only to try and keep their waning power.
Good post.
