MAGA fighting so hard to remove him solidifies their rejection of small government conservatism, which is something I called way back in 2016.

One reason why I couldn't be upset tonight. This is a major W for me

Yet you argued and debated at every turn to prop up and campaign for the merits of Thomas Massie. Vehemently defended him.

Yes small government conservatism isn't popular, especially in the MAGA era.

What's your point?

You could donate to him which would make you a Massie supporter.

I appreciate useful idiots, but I don't support them.

I have only ever donated to one pol ever, who is a personal friend and, now, sheriff of a parish.

What about promoting smaller government overlaps with "useful idiots"? What is your issue with conservatism?

That would be supporting someone.

You didn't really promote him did you. You used him as a prop to make a point.
You made no effort to do anything to his benefit.
Hence the useful idiot phrasing.
He toasted his career, his district lost a say in government, he scammed donors out of $15 million.
And you got to make a point.
Saying I don't donate to anyone says that you don't support anyone you don't vote for. Unless you are volunteering time.

While we can debate the meaning of the word conservative...

Empty words and a refusal to work for anything is not conservative.

Nor is spending more time trying to sleep around Washington than time spent trying to improve bills.

That was over 10 years ago

About smaller government? Yes. It's a priority political principle of mine and has been for over 20 years, publicly and consistently posted on here without any shift in supporting that policy.

This isn't a secret.

With the money being spent by outsiders, it would be lighting money on fire.

He did work for something...small government. That was rejected tonight by MAGA. What I argued in 2016 was proven 100% correct tonight. Huge W for me.
