The important thing to remember is that there is a finite number of RINOs in the leadership. And each time one of them is knocked off, by *any* means, it is a body blow to the GOP-e. Every election there are fewer of them.
Having a constituency that is limited to multinational corporations with no loyalty to America, their vulnerability is marked when it comes to turning out voters. Sure, they might put $10 million in advertisements on television, but it might not get them a single vote.
They have been “running on fumes” for a while now. Their “vote for a RINO or a Democrat wins” strategy is falling apart, for the simple reason that a RINO, standing behind a conservative while holding a treacherous knife in his hand, is a *greater* threat to conservatism than are the damned Democrats.
If we can just purge those swine from the Republican leadership, we can finally kick seven bells out of the Democrats, and tear down a hundred years of progressive failure, without always having to watch our backs.
The RINOs don’t have enough left to sustain significant losses. It is a war of attrition with them, and one the conservatives *will* win, sooner or later. And when we do, the RINOs and their allies will be first up on the chopping block.
“Don’t *even* show up at the RNC, because we no longer have a chair for you. Just go ahead and curse us from the media gallery. And as far as your multinational corporate allies go, maybe they are not so “too big to fail” after all.
I wish that were true. The RINOs corrupt the newly elected officials if they can. Look at Renee Elmers, supposed Tea Party adherent, turns into full Open Borders RINO, complete with the insults.
Marco Rubio knocks out RINO, now Democrat Charlie Crist with Tea Party support. He dumps the Tea Party with insults as soon as he enters office by not joining the Tea Party caucus. Then he hunkers down with the RINOs before coming out completely Open Borders as not only a supporter of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, but as a full member of the Gand of Eight. That's not working out for him so well, so he's desperately back paddling out of the Open Borders mess.
