The RINO bitterness against Christine O'Donnell
The RINO establishment needs to grow up, put their big boy pants on, and get over it.
I was listening to the Charlie Sykes podcast, when the guest ragged on former U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell for putting out an ad in the 2010 general election saying "I am not a witch."
I do not care to re-litigate a Republican primary from 16 years ago and who the candidate should have been. It is over and done. The Republican-in-name-only (RINO) establishment needs to grow up, put their big boy pants on, and get over it. You wanted someone else in Delaware in 2010. You lost. Move on. I don't spend my days crying about a moderate beating a conservative in a primary 16 years ago, because it is a waste of time and I have more productive things to do.
But the attack on O'Donnell's ad, this many years after the fact, is dishonest, disingenuous and hypocritical. The reason she made the ad is because Democrats and RINO were constantly attacking her as a witch. Had she not been falsely attacked, she would not have responded.
So according to RINO "logic," you are damned no matter what you do. If she had ignored the attacks, she would be damned in 2026 for allowing the narrative to stand. The fact that she defended herself opens her up to mockery for that. There is no "principle" here. The only "principle" is beating up on O'Donnell for getting more votes than the favored RINO candidate, which is the unforgivable "sin." The fact that she was attacked for responding to a false attack is utterly ridiculous, and shows just how unprincipled the RINO establishment is.
The fact that the RINO establishment is still so bitter about O'Donnell's primary win shows their entitlement mentality. This is not something you can even blame on President Trump, because he would not run for office until five years after the fact. RINO have never wanted the Republican Party to be a conservative party, and they are embarrassed to be associated with us. If they lose a primary, they will never get over it and will whine for decades after the fact. Never apologize. Never compromise. The moderate RINO squishes are to be defeated, because that is what they want for us.
