Unfortunately, there are too many who seem to be stuck in this rut of reelecting big government, establishment Republicans in the hopes something will change. As if there will finally be a return to our rightful course with the GOP-e at the helm. The old lather, rinse, repeat cycle and yet we lurch further leftward.

I'm afraid there is no way to nudge them from this rut. They are left to hope there will be enough votes to put their old, power-guzzling, moss-back, Beltway GOP-e statists over the top without the support many in an increasingly alienated conservative base. As for me, I'm done being a Republican dupe.

Same here. Like you, it’s incredible to me that these folks expect anything other than gutless capitulation and adoption of Dem principles from their moderate/liberal darlings. “We’re going to hold their feet to the fire”, they say.....LOL, when? How? Has that happened yet?

The GOP-e is all about power, nothing more. Future candidates will have to earn my vote; I’m done throwing it away.
