Good Never Trumper talking point!
Dr Oz is one, and had The Donald's blessing. How did that go for PA? We elected the biggest joke of a senator in US history.
The leftist/RINO narrative that republicans need to back democrat light candidates in order to win, is one of the reasons this country is in the mess it is today. Have you ever heard any democrat pundit or talking head say that the left needs to nominate less rabid leftist candidates in order to appeal to the voters?
The progressive GOP leadership refuses to back true conservative candidates that will upset their apple cart. They're happy with the status quo as long as they get to keep their nice trinkets and shiny things. Unfortunately, you need big money to win elections, not milquetoast democrats in republican clothing.
What is the point of "winning" when the candidate will support leftist ideals? Look at Brian Fitzpatrick and Lisa Murkowski as perfect examples.
Actually there are pundits who discuss this all the time; they push for more central left candidates to appeal to 'independents' as opposed to the bat$hit crazy AOC socialists. The problem here once again is that whether the D candidate is a centrist, a nut job leftist, a potato or Lurch, when it comes to the general, ALL DEMS will "pull that lever" so to speak. Republicans and those more right-leaning have never voted like this and probably never will. We all know this.
The PROCESSES of Liberty & Freedom & Individualism & Self-determination & Truth itself, are under assault all the time. It's important to speak about those concepts & processes (set down in the Constitution & BoR) but just as important to uphold those processes in the face of cheating & lying by the other side. If the corruption of those processes is embraced by Republicans as the only way to win, then those processes (the Soul of America) will forever loose their standing.
Today's problems & quandaries were not unforeseen by the Founding Fathers, as Adams' commentary above demonstrates. The expanding of a base of those who truly understand and love these American Principles and are seeking to keep those processes clean, needs to be pursued. If the only goal is to Win At All Costs, then the deception and immorality of The Left Has WON THE WAR anyway. No matter what Facade is generated, if the core structure is based on deception and immorality, the decay will continue, just as Adams warned.Quote:
While our Country remains untainted with the Principles and manners, which are now producing desolation in so many Parts of the World: while she continues sincere and incapable of insidious and impious policy: We shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned Us by Providence. But should the people of America, once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another and towards foreign nations, which assumes the Language of Justice and moderation while it is practicing Iniquity and Extravagance; and displays in the most captivating manner the charming Pictures of Candour and frankness and sincerity while it is rioting in rapine and Insolence: this country will be the most miserable Habitation in the World. Because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or galantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and Religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. (John Adams, 1798)
Expanding the base of voters (not just complainers) who love America & the Processes of Liberty created by the Founding Fathers (Constitution & BoR) is important to achieve a better America than the destructive future envisioned by the leftist liberals.
The Republicans need to put up candidates who love those Principles and can clearly articulate them - Those who understand the best government is the least government - Those who promote that the government must support the MOST LIBERTY TO THE PEOPLE, rather than the MOST POWER TO THE GOVERNMENT!
The party needs to work together for those Principles (instead of snipering their own candidates) and use all legal & ethical means to get such Pro-America voters to actually vote.

Sticker on a Volvo, "It doesn't matter who as long as they are blue".
Murkowski and Fitzpatrick aren't really leftist they're centrist if anything besides when it comes to guns. I'm a centrist too in some aspects but would you rather l have a centrist or a progressive. Take your pick because this state isnt voting in Republicans when are very conservative and that's just how it is.
Lets run a retarded guy. That seems to be the winning formula.
