And Ross Perot capitalized on it and third partied Bush one out of office…Bush Sr was a republican, but voted out because of one (1) compromise on raising taxes.

Wow that is shocking.Scalise drops out of the Speaker race after being nominated.
Steve Scalise withdraws from speaker's race, sending House into further turmoil
Scalise, R-La., stepped aside just a day after he secured the GOP's nomination for the top position in the House.www.nbcnews.com
I think it was perceptions about the economy. If the economy had been humming, Perot would have just been seen as a kook, and people would be saying, vote for a former governor of Arkansas? Who the **** is Bill Clinton and why is he fake-crying on TV?Bush Sr. made the mistake of telling everyone to read his lips.
Is there anyone in the House that passes the non-"RINO" purity test?Wow that is shocking.
So who will take his place? It can't be anyone to conservative.
The rinos will not allow it, or vote for a conservative, or one who leans right of them.
About 10 constitutionalists that will never get the job.Is there anyone in the House that passes the non-"RINO" purity test?
It's their party. The AF/MAGA folks are just trying to take it over. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But all the talk about Republican In Name Only from AF/MAGA folks misunderstands who are the real ass, big R Republicans, and who are just republicans of circumstance. It's their party.Is there anyone in the House that passes the non-"RINO" purity test?
I believe I am a pragmatist generally, as evidenced by my pragmatic support to vote for republicans in the election I cannot stand and would not support in a primary. A RINO to me campaigns and says what I want to hear and governs differently.For ****'s sake. Embarrassing as that is, it speaks volumes to the Keystone Kops who can't elect their own.
I like Jordan and have wished he was made Speaker when the Republicans took over the House.About 10 constitutionalists that will never get the job.
Best bet I Jordan, but i doubt he'll get it.
He's more conservative than most Republicans.
Your logic wrt Todd Young holds here. If, as I read on INGO, 96% of Republicans in the House are "RINOs" (God, I am so sick of that term; apologies for adding to its overuse), they need to be voted out IN THE PRIMARIES. Crossing our arms, stamping our feet and demanding whatever meets our purity test gets us donkey majorities in both the Senate and the House.I believe I am a pragmatist generally, as evidenced by my pragmatic support to vote for republicans in the election I cannot stand and would not support in a primary.

This s basically a three party battle similar to what we see in other countries, our choices are leftist, establishment republican, or AF republican. You sound content with establishment republicans…
Newt GingrichWow that is shocking.

Now do Trump. I'm assuming you won't be able to vote him out in the primaries - so, vote for him in the general or 'cross your arms and stamp your feet, demanding whatever meets your purity test'?Your logic wrt Todd Young holds here.

Didn't he just say the primaries are where you work out your purity requirements?Now do Trump. I'm assuming you won't be able to vote him out in the primaries - so, vote for him in the general or 'cross your arms and stamp your feet, demanding whatever meets your purity test'?
I think he's a 'Won't vote for Trump no how, no way' club member - even if he wins the nomDidn't he just say the primaries are where you work out your purity requirements?
