Never EVER forget. Drain the Swamp threatens the GOPe like nothing ever has.
They have discovered they are a miniscule minority and are utterly desperate. Conservative is defined as:
Drain the Swamp
Build the Wall
America First in All Things
Pro Life
Pro Gun
They HATE this. They want Conservative to be:
Lower Taxes
Sort of Pro Life
Sort of Pro Gun
Wars Forever
A freeper above said “If you endorse a Democrat, you’re not a Republican, period.”
If the GOPe controls the nominating process and will not allow a vote on a nomination MAGA replacement of a Romney type, then we MUST vote Democrat. It stops being politics at that point. It is personal. If Romney controls the nominating process in Utah and won’t allow a challenge in the primary, then it’s personal. He must be removed. Voting Dem would be the only way. It is NOTHING to do this with a 2 year house seat. Senate is 6 years and horrible, but there is no choice.
“…then we MUST vote Democrat.”
No, that makes no sense.
The winning strategy is to disregard party affiliation and vote for the lesser of two evils.
If the lesser evil is the RINO, you vote for the RINO.
If the lesser evil is the Democrat, you vote for the Democrat.
Obviously, if you are repeatedly stuck with such a choice, and you want to do something about it, you may need to get more involved at the committee level so that you can influence the nomination process.
But once the primaries are over, and it’s time to vote in the general, political strategists and game theorists overwhelmingly agree that you must vote for the lesser of two evils.
Throwing your vote away, writing in a non-contender, or voting for the opposition are all acts of spite, and serve no strategic purpose.
Who said I was a Republican?
The GOP believes in and will fight for:
1) Open borders
2) A global open market in labor
3) Offshoring productive industries
4) Financialization of the economy
5)) Severing the medium of exchange function of money from the store of value function.
6) Usury as the main engine of consumption.
7) Denying the people their natural, healthy love of their nation
8) Overseas wars on behalf of alien peoples without recompense for our sacrifice.
9) Forced "diversity" with its attendent decline in standards and inevitably accompanying violence.
I don't believe in ANY of those things. Do you?
