re: Republicans…You Know Your Party Is Going To Betray You Again, Right? You’ll Get Nothing

This retarded SFP idea that republican voters want this bill and will punish us at the ballot box over blocking it is asinine and you know it.

I side with you on that generally. But just cannot stand the lack of pragmatism that is so pervasive here on WHY these guys vote the way they do. In many places, it’s the only type of “Republican” that can be elected.

And you take that, every single time, over a Democrat in the seat. I’m speaking mostly about the House of course. The Senate is a whole different deal, but unfortunately the MAGA wing has a habit of choosing incredibly poor and unelectable candidates like Lake or Oz for otherwise winnable purple state Senate seats.

Just win. That’s the goal. Nothing can happen without governable majorities. The stakes are too high for purity tests.
