I mean, squishy moderates on the right have been in office for a really long time. If your argument is that they aren't effective, I'd listen.

Quite possibly, but so what? What are we gaining?

It's kind of like Paul Ryan saying trump is a textbook racist.

When people now say "you endorsed a racist" what is he going to say? "Uuuh, I don't think he's a racist, he just made some public remarks that were textbook racists"

It's stupefying really. Now the story is CPAC invited a racist. Is he a racist? Well CPAC sure as shite thinks so because they canceled his appearance.

Sure I'm not disputing that.

Yes, precisely what I'm saying. There are a lot of political moderates in Congress in both houses that has been there for a long time and nobody but government employees and the most dedicated political junkies could name them.

The best, noteworthy, and most successful politicians are usually firebrands that didn't back down from their stances and didn't cave to outside pressure and at least not without concessions from the opponent.

The left looking stupid trying to intimidate conservatives into verifying their stereotypes about them being racist and bigoted?
