Here is the problem. These rising stars are not just pandering to the GOP base, which RINOs can do really well. They are giving the base what they actually want - a public fight against the democrats. This is not what GOPe wants.


I don’t agree. The GOPe don’t mind the theatrical fight when they are in the minority and can dodge behind that fact. It’s when they are in majority, have real power and conservatives expect them to govern as they campaign the that the GOPe hates conservatives most.

Fair point. GOPe don’t govern. Never wanted to. Never will.

The theatrics and faux outrage at all times should be troubling. Get them in front of a camera, at a committee hearing, and they puff up their chests and out comes the righteous indignation. But that's it...largely just meat for the crowd.
