You're wrong on the merits. Republicans have won, and are winning, many culture war battles. The pendulum swings and the Right - embodied by the Republicans in the US - does what it can with what it has to work with.

Like what? IIRC, the best you could come up with is "they cut spending and screwed over the poor". Well, great job, chummy!

Even if Republicans were losing, the fact that the side that reflects your morals and values [or is at least much closer] is no excuse to abandon them.

I agree. The issue is that many Republicans do not reflect my morals or values in any way.

Your alternative solution to republicans is to have Putin take over the whole world.

It is? Do you know what a multipolar world is?

The issue with Romney is that he's in a safe red district and so he is cucking that district to the Left. He needs to be primaried and safe red districts need to always have solid right wing representatives. Romney is terrible for Utah, but would be amazing for Massachusetts. It's the more intelligent, more tactical choice that advances the Right.

I actually agree. I have defended Susan Collins for that reason - she's the best Maine can do. But someone like Eyepatch McCain is in a safe red district and still is complete garbage. If he was ousted, then a better GOP could win next time.

Had any Republican been elected in WV instead, the Democrats would not have been able to pass anything these past 2 years.

It didn't do them much good anyway.

Honestly, the only reason I'd be a Republican if I were American is because they're hated so much by the worst people there are (even though they're not good for much).
