A point I often make is that Donald Trump’s travails were not because of Democrats. Instead, they were because of Republicans. Had the Republicans supported him, the past seven years would have been very different. And if you doubt that Republicans are a problem, just check out how the Republicans in North Dakota’s legislature vote.
When Democrat voters cast their ballots for a Democrat candidate, they know what they’re getting: Someone who will reliably vote in lockstep with Democrat party leadership, whether that leadership comes from the White House or Congress, and whose votes will invariably hew left. That’s not true for conservative voters. When they cast their ballots for a Republican candidate, the likelihood that their candidate will support conservative ideas and people, including the President of the United States, is slender indeed.

That point was brought home by a computer algorithm analysis looking at the voting patterns of the Republicans in the North Dakota legislature. (Hat tip: Powerline.)
Minot Republicans Mike Blessum and Zach Lessig used a computer algorithm to analyze the votes of every North Dakota legislator to determine how they voted. Or more accurately, who they voted with. The results in the North Dakota House are stunning — 45 of the 84 members who caucus Republican vote more with the liberal members of the House than with the conservatives.

Some are only marginally to the left of center, but there are more than enough moderate Republicans (shown in light blue) voting with the 12 Democrats (dark blue) to effectively control the agenda in the House. Click here to see the full analysis of North Dakota legislative votes.

And we wonder why Trump fights the Rinos so much.
Trump is a Washington Outsider. They hate him for that, even members of the GOP.
The way to counter this is to play the same game - use the magnificently effective brainwashing/ballot fraud architecture Democrats have set up to our advantage by moving MAGA en masse to the Democratic Party and electing MAGA conservatives in Democrat primaries.
This will, of course, require these MAGA candidates to mouth some progressive platitudes along with universal populist themes during the campaign season - with their supporters fully understanding they don't really mean them: it's just a tactic to get elected. Same thing the faux Republicans do to us, today.
“While Democrat politicians almost never vote with Republicans, Republican politicians routinely vote with Democrats, making Democrats the effective political majority across America”
*************
Absolutely true.
Democrats tell Republicans: “Let’s work together and do it OUR way.”
Especially members of the GOP, it would appear.
Indeed.
1) Open borders
2) A global open market in labor
3) Offshoring productive industries
4) Financialization of the economy
5)) Severing the medium of exchange function of money from the store of value function.
6) Usury as the main engine of consumption.
7) Denying the people their natural, healthy love of their nation
8) Overseas wars on behalf of alien peoples without recompense for our sacrifice.
9) Forced "diversity" with its attendent decline in standards and inevitably accompanying violence.
The GOP has plenty of principles, convictions, and values. YOU must decide if they are yours, or not.
“The website compares the votes of each member ...”
Very impressive data collection and presentation at the link. As the author says, it needs to be done on our national politicians.
Must of the article itself is useless words.
I disagree. Talk to Democrat voters, and they do not know this. They believe they are getting someone who will fight for the "little guy", someone who opposes "racism", someone who is protecting them from "greedy capitalists". Much of the time, what the Democratic candidates say is for from lockstep with the Democrat party leadership.
“...Someone who will reliably vote in lockstep with Democrat party leadership...”
Problem with this is that it doesn’t identify who the leadership is. It obviously isn’t congress or the president. Biden doesn’t have enough gray matter left to remember what is involved with flushing a toilet. And congress is way to protective of itself to wander into decisions without finding out what they can get away with or if the media can herd the facts away from the voters.
If you find who is actually running the country, then you have its leadership. And everyone is under the gun to protect themselves from voter fallout or hanging themselves in prison.

Perhaps North Dakota isn’t as conservative as you think? Just like the Deep South, the Upper Midwest has a lot of cross-over vote. This area was the home of “Prairie Populism,” where Big Government helped out with farm subsidies, crop insurance, etc. It was also a very anti-war area. Conversely, the Upper Midwest is big on family values and limitied federal government in many areas.
There is problem in state legislatures in red states where politicians who would normally be democrats choose to run as republicans because that’s the only way they can win. Certainly true in Texas where about 1/3rd of the GOP caucus is closeted.
It doesn’t necessary apply at the national level where there is 100x more scrutiny on the candidates. I’d bet something like 95% of ppl don’t know their state reps, so they can be pretty bad without consequence.
Surprise! RINOs are the norm and yet we vote them in over and over.
The dark side has worked for many years to install Rino’s. Or in reality they are infiltrators.
Oh, it goes a lot further than being a WA Outsider. The Republican RINOs are part of the New World Order supporters. Mitch McConnell told us all, he didn’t want Republicans to win control of the Senate, he liked being in the minority.
Ant Republican legislator, who refused to stand up for Trump on the election fraud, is part of the fraud.
Careerist and agenda driven politicians will run in the party with majority to better their chances of winning.
Yeah, voting has such meaning these days.
Which is why this former broken-glass republican will vote for Trump and a small handful of others, and will invite the rest to KMS.
“Trump is a Washington Outsider. They hate him for that, even members of the GOP.”
Career politicians of the Republican stripe consider him an interloper, because he did not pay his party dues, get in line and wait his turn.
