re: #186 Dr Lizardo, The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla

The GOP needs to find a way to initiate a party purge - the TP’ers need to go. I don’t know if that’s possible for them to do on a national level, and they risk a profound backlash from their base.

But sometimes, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

They could team up with the Democrats to expel a few members from the House and Senate, but I’m not sure it’s in the Democrats best interest to do that and the Republicans don’t have the spine to ask. The Dems would be helping to cut out the cancer that’s killing the GOP, and they’d be exposing themselves to some very potent charges of two-party entrenched cronyism in the process.
