Why Now More Than Ever Is the Time to Rid Ourselves of RINOs

In past elections, many Republican voters were conned into thinking the only way to beat Democrats was with milquetoast centrists. In 2022, that argument cannot be allowed to prevail.

Allow me to be blunt. The GOP is a mess. The only reason the dysfunction of the Republican Party is not more prominently on display is because the Democrat Party is a raging dumpster fire. Now more than ever, we have an opportunity to put America-First constitutional conservatives on Capitol Hill. Will we?

I’m not going to insert my pessimism into this. Not now. I’ll save that for after the primaries. We need to push forward with the primary election goal of nominating the best people to take on Democrats in November. That doesn’t mean nominating the people who are necessarily most likely to win. Unless there is an inexplicable turnaround in the nation’s fortunes, we could nominate a cute puppy as a Republican candidate and beat vulnerable Democrats. We can’t nominate puppies and we shouldn’t nominate RINOs. We need to nominate the best possible representatives of freedom.

In the past, pragmatic Republicans have fallen for the sales pitch by the GOP Establishment that we need “common sense” centrists to be the milquetoast nominees, especially in Senate races. Conservatives have traditionally had an easier time securing House nominations, but even that has shifted in the wrong direction over the last two elections. That argument is moot. According to Just The News:

Voters trust the GOP significantly more than the Democratic Party on the handling of such key midterm issues as inflation and the over health of the economy, according to a new Morning Consult survey. The survey found 46% of voters trust Republicans to handle the record-level inflation, compared to 32% for Democrats. Roughly 22% said they were unsure or had no opinion.
