Battered Conservative Syndrome.
Next election, these I’ll-fall-on-the-sword-IF claimants will be back complaining of the next round of wannabes.
These are about as serious as the I’ll-move-to-__{fill in black with country of choice}__ claimants.
Battered Conservative Syndrome. It isn’t pretty. And it repeats every election cycle. The GOPelites know those conservatives have nowhere else to go. The GOPelites shrug them off as kids-throwing-tantrums.
They are the low information voters of the Republican Party. They see that (R) and despite the fact they have been lied too repeatedly and treated like third class scum they flock to the (R) for more of the same. I have concluded they really are the low information element of the GOP or they like being abused, gives them a reason to bitch and moan and then come back for more.
