In reply to the discussion: George Will: Vote against Republicans [View all]McCamy Taylor
(19,240 posts)I see nothing implausible about the RNC telling their point man to tell the faithful to sit out this election. And this message spells the doom of the Trump and Tea Party.
The GOP only wins because their base always turns out to vote in even the dinkiest little special election. If the core Republican base--the soccer moms, the economic conservatives, the Catholic conservatives--stay home, the Tea Party will die.
For years, the Tea Party has been counting upon the extraordinary brand loyalty that Republicans have for their party. They have been able to get away with murder and treason, safe in the knowledge that Republicans would vote them back in.
Way to go, RNC. Looks like NO party wants to be Putin's puppet, not even the opposition party.
