This was basically the only good result in this otherwise complete dumpster fire of a primary night. RINO's everywhere are getting renominated and it absolutely SUCKS to see!

Wish I could agree with you but a HELL of a lot of RINO's won both tonight and last Tuesday. Seems to me many people are still asleep!

Amen to everything you said!

I never really worried she wouldn't. Her district absolutely loves her and I think all the efforts the Dems and the RINO establishment made to try to ruin her only fired up her base even more. MTG will never go anywhere! :)

If there is any consolation, it's the fact that both of W's opponents were just as bad if not even worse than him. Though that being said I still wish John Kerry would've won in 2004, for had he done so I guarantee you the GOP would've abandoned neoconservatism a hell of a lot sooner.

Yeah, the post 9/11 drama (which BTW, 9/11 itself was something that may or may not have been the result of Bush; gotta sanitize it a little so that YT actually allows me to post this comment) and the "rally around the flag" effect it had on the nation for the next 2 years is really the only reason why Bush got re-elected. Indeed as evidence of this, exit polls showed that most of Bush's voters had already made up their minds months if not even an entire year in advance and that the majority who waited til the last week broke for Kerry. In other words, if only the people who were beginning to realize how much of a scam the Iraq War was voted, Bush would've been absolutely crushed.

@davidparker9676 The thing is that part of the reason why there's still a decent amount of RINO's and even Demonrats out there who love to compare Bush to Trump in a positive light is because Dubya won re-election (and by a bigger margin nonetheless), where as Trump didn't (yes, 2000 mules and a lot of other questions surrounded that supposed "most secure election ever", but for the sake of argument I'm just gonna abide by YouTube TOS and go with that line of reasoning), and so in their mind Bushism is somehow extremely popular and does well in most of America where as Trump doesn't. If Bush had lost re-election, it would've made people realize that neoconservatism isn't actually as great of a winning strategy as it seems and then it would've allowed many people to want to abandon the Bush gig much sooner.

@davidparker9676 Yes, I'm well aware that many voters have short-term memory and can easily turn a 180 the moment their current narrative is no longer convenient. I'm not arguing that DEMOCRATS in particular would view the GOP any differently, after all they've become nothing more than just a corrupt power-hungry money making machine with no real moral values or principles other than "win win win!". I'm just stating that had Bush lost in 2004, people would not be able to argue as effectively that neoconservatism is extremely popular within the average GOP voter base and I'm sure the Tea Party movement or some form similar to it may have arose around 2-4 years earlier than it actually did in our timeline, thus allowing Republicans to become a lot more populist over time and not be as infested with these corrupt RINO scumbags as it currently is. Name recognition and incumbency certainly helps a lot of these clowns, but it's also true too that the success of Reaganism and even Bushism electorally speaking helped power a lot of those idiots into office and thus allow them to control the nonsensical narrative that "REAL Republicans know that Trump is a dangerous threat to much democracy and that Bush is still the perfect representation of us!". In an alt timeline where Kerry won and 2006 and 2008 end up being red wave years as opposed to blue wave years like they were in our timeline, that argument would seem ridiculous and vapid, especially because unlike Trump Bush didn't exactly have the staying power he did; if Bush lost him endorsing any candidate for office would probably have resulted in them getting massive backlash and backfired on them tremendously in the primaries.

@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz Well a big part of that is because liberals themselves have stopped being actual "liberals" for a long time now.
