The way to deal with Republicans who have actively worked against our goals is to defeat them in Primary elections.

I've been working hard to oppose the "I'll vote Hillary in and teach the RINOs a lesson" trolls.

However, I went toe-to-toe with many and actually got beat up pretty bad on this point.

For the incumbent RINOs----THERE IS NO PRIMARY!

So, the GOP Party apparatus is set up to encourage RINO-ness in close elections.

For better or for worse, the GOP is not providing a steam-valve to let these trolls vent any meaningful way in an election. (Not that the DNC is either, but the two party system is broken when it comes to prizing incumbency uber alles.)

What are you talking about?

Our own DeWine RINO had opponents in the primary, and I voted for one of them. DeWine just won big time.

It's not the GOP that is the problem. It's the voters.

Ultimately, if you blame a political party, you are denying your own culpability in it, and your responsibility to make things better.
