Good! I’m not devoted to any particular candidate, and in my mind, the whole thing is to get candidates to commit to certain positions, whether they are new entries or oldies who want to revive their stock.
The important thing is the ideas and the principles, and not the personalities. If McConnell will really commit to these principles, that’s wonderful - and maybe he actually did rethink some of his positions. We shouldn’t attribute malice to all of them, just establishmentarianism or Beltwayism or whatever. But all of their feet have to be held to the fire.
That's great theory. It doesn't work in practice, or Senator Cornyn wouldn't have been the critical vote supporting Reid's cloture vote on the removal of the debt limit.
'Holding their feet to the fire' is a fool's mission. And anyone voting for a liberal republican hoping to 'hold their feet to the fire' is a liberal. Vote for a liberal and you are a liberal.

Once he pivots, all his promises made to defeat the Conservative will be history. We cannot scare them straight. The corruption is too deep.
