I see a lot of messages on this board lately about potential candidates in November.

WEF member! Disqualified!

He changed his view on {insert anything}! Disqualified!

He shook hands with the Beetlejuice mayor! Disqualified!

Desantis supports Israel! Fraud!

That old saying, "Cut your nose off to spite your face" is very apt on this board.

At this rate, if this is your thought process, you might as well give up.

I don't like saying vote for the best available at the time, but that's what this is. There won't be a wholesale purge of rinos this November.

But like I put it in the title, it will be a slow cleanse. Election after election, we take it back. We get our foundation built, then we construct the house.

If the best available doesn't do what we want in the future, we take him/her out next election--which will be achievable because i believe our movement will only gather support in the coming years.

More support means more candidates to choose from. More candidates to choose from means higher percentage of candidates making it through to office.

But we're not there yet. It's very important to remove the garbage now, even if it's only with a less smelly replacement.

We have to make November our stepping stone.

When our president is back, that's another huge foundation piece. Then we keep the momentum

Vote with discernment, but realize you may have to hold your nose while doing so.
