The term “tough love” comes to mind. If the GOP doesn’t win the senate, they (GOP-e) will regret their tactics.
Well, you’ll regret your own tactics. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face...giving the Dems a majority does NOTHING to help conservative GOPers either.
Work for your favored conservative in the primaries but then vote to get the numbers. The Cochran thing was horrible, but I don’t think it’s typical - MS politics have always been super corrupt and family-controlled - so while the GOP might incline to RINOs, if you can get enough people behind a candidate and get the money to support that candidate, you’ll get your candidate.
But that means everybody has got to work harder for their candidate, along with contributing more, and also that the candidates have got to stop thinking they can rely on the “base” to get them over the top. They have to have a broader appeal, and unfortunately, few of them do and they seem to spend a lot of time preening over their conservative credentials and not reaching out for voters - again, it’s all about numbers.
No they won’t, they’ll continue to blame us. Like doing the same thing they’ve been doing will get them a different result. They’ll just get more and more of us to refuse to vote for their lib/dem with an (r) candidates. They’re not known as the stupid party for nothing.
