Let me get this straight.

If a bunch of moderate Republicans get sick of Trump taking control of the party and they decide to put a “D” by their name, but they hold onto some conservative thinking like being against abortion (not pro-choice…big difference) it’s okay because then we get some more “D”s in office?

Because in a way I think that is a bit how this is being seen. People are suspicious of Mello from what I can tell and with good reason.

How many other parts of the long-standing Democratic party do we all need to consider chucking so we can have some more Democrats in office?

In some states, the D’s are going to be pretty conservative. They maybe won’t vote for all the nominees and legislation a progressive and/or liberal would like.

But the difference between Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi, the difference between Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, is DOES THAT LEGISLATION AND THOSE NOMINEES EVER COME TO A VOTE?!?

At some point, from some jurisdictions… yes. Sometimes you gotta sacrifice part of your priority list, if the alternative is sacrificing *ALL* of it.
