“… try to lure a couple of these popularly elected “RINO” incumbents into the Democratic Party.”
“So what Republican legislator or county commissioner — in this reddest of all red states — would switch sides and run as a Democrat?”
“Sure, a “RINO”-turned-Democrat would lose the advantages of running under the GOP banner, and a “RINO” legislator would give up the clout and committee leadership possibilities that come with belonging to the majority party.”
“Where’s Marlin Perkins when we need him?”
