I agree with that to an extent, however that means you run the possibility of having Harry Reid as majority leader. And as we’ve seen this congress, that can screw things up for the Republicans by denying votes on a lot of key issues that would be tough positions for Democrats, and would embarrass Obama. With a Republican majority leader we likely could have gotten a lot of bills to Obama’s desk and forced him to veto it - putting pressure on him.

Majority leader McConnell wouldn’t have been any better. He and Reid are in collusion. McConnell needs to be removed as leader. But none of the republicans seem to have the guts, and McConnell can count on the worthless moderates to back him since he keeps the gravy train flowing.

You are so correct and it is wrong to ever allow a RAT to be elected to anything. This is political suicide. It is immoral to not prevent a RAT from attaining a majority in any legal way possible.

Give me a RINO over a RAT anyday, for the reasons you state. We have to keep the RATS out of the majority. We take this back incrementally. This is a winning strategy--not a losing strategy.
