National Review Prognosticator: Democrats Will Win House Due to "Democrat-RINO Alliance"

This is what I imagine will happen, too. (Though I'm not sure of it.)

I mentioned in a post below that the NeverTrumpers -- who are actually the most liberal of all Republicans, but pose as the most conservative for branding purposes, and because this party has this utterly retarded I'm-more-conservative-than-you dick-measuring syndrome where no liberal Republicans can ever just admit they're liberal Republicans -- are trying to hand this election to the Democrats, because they want their precious control over the party back and they will sabotage it and empower the left until we embrace liberal Republicanism again.

So that is the less-polite version of what this article says.

RINO voters have long preferred candidates such as Bob Dole, the two George Bushes, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. So long as folks like these led the party, RINOs were happy to keep the "R" in their names even as they increasingly battled the GOP’s more conservative elements. But Trump changed all that.

Trump’s message was that America was a sinking ship, one that needed a radical change of course, and fast. Add his volatile and voluble personality to the mix and you can see why RINOs did not want to take a cruise on the SS GOP with Trump as its captain. But Trump won despite their defection.

Tuesday, however, is going to be the RINOs’ revenge. Romney-loving RINOs are coming out of their preserves with fire in their hearts and a gleam in their eyes. They are decked out in hunting gear of their own, and their prey is the Trump-backing, change-seeking GOP. They might not be able to win primaries anymore, but in league with their new friends, the Democrats, they are eager to take down some big game of their own. And they will.

The new Democrat–RINO alliance is going to retake the House, sweep the GOP out of governor’s mansions in most purple states, and end the careers of hundreds of suburban state legislators. In the Senate, it will most likely hold Republicans to a one- or two-seat gain despite an incredibly favorable map -- and may even win the Democrats a seat. Come Wednesday, the RINOs will mount their trophies on their walls and resolve to continue the hunt until the big game is caught: the orange-plumed woodpecker from Queens.

Several points:

Remember when the liberal RINOs controlling the party would brow-beat you into supporting whatever RINO they had chosen as an acceptable, liberal-leaning candidate for the party? Remember when they'd tell you you had to vote for Romney, McCain, etc.?

Well, witness their own behavior when they think they're not being deferred to enough.

Also, keep this in mind: this contingent of liberal Republicans -- RINOs -- have long claimed that they oppose Trump because he's not conservative enough to satisfy their super-duper TruConservative requirements.

When Trump delivers one conservative agenda victory after another, instead of saying "Yay, as a super-duper TruCon, that's just what I wanted!!!" they snipe about tone and manners and tweets.

It's always been a con. As I mentioned, they are liberal, urban, socially-progressive, pro-gay-marriage, pretty much pro-choice (granted, so am I on that, but I wouldn't claim that I should get to overrule 85% of the party due to my individual wishes), open borders RINOs who control a party whose largest block of voters is genuine conservatives, so they have been lying and lying and lying for years about their true political preferences.

This is why they're always selling us out with Failure Theater or, as Mark Levin calls it, "Play-Fight and Then Surrender." They have to pretend they're fighting for the conservative agenda items they're in fact adamantly, viscerally opposed to, and then cutting deals with Democrats to make sure the liberal position prevails but in a way that appears they did their Utmost to Resist.

Well, now these liars and cross-dressers have very little mask left on their faces. They are liberals. They never opposed Trump because they feared he'd be too liberal; they opposed Trump because he was not beholden to the liberal corporate donor structure and therefore might turn out to be too conservative.

Which is exactly what happened.

If these people were really Super Conservative as they claim, they'd be supporting Trump as being an upside surprise.

Instead, they still pretend they're Super-Duper-Conservative and just are now fixated on his unconservative tweeting habits.

But no one buys this. They party has been taken -- temporarily -- from the clutches of the urban, socially-liberal, corporatist RINO class that has held it in an iron grip for decades, and they are going to try to throw their second election running in order to hold the party hostage until we agree to put the party back in the hands of liberals.

This is why it's important to vote. We have not "Won" anything. We did not seize the controls of the plane, as the flight 93 election thesis has it. We merely occupied the cockpit for a short amount of time, and if the liberals who have controlled this party and who are determined to be our masters get their way and throw this election, they will put Maxine Waters into the position as head of the Financial Services Committee, Adam Schiff as head of the Government Oversight Committee, etc.

The "Democrat-RINO alliance" aims to sabotage Trump's term and indeed sabotage the economy itself to make sure that a liberal Democrat candidate wins in 2020, because that's the only way the liberal Republicans can set themselves up as the Necessary Evil you need to put in command for 2024.

If we win -- if we hold the House -- then we can tell them, "We can win with you or without you, and therefore we do not need you, and therefore you will have to accept a diminished junior role in the party, rather than being in control of it."

If they win -- and manage to do what they could not do in 2016, which is to throw an election to their Democrat co-conspirators and Cocktail Party pals -- they will say "We are indespensible, and we will vote Democrat in every race from here on out until you put us back where we deserve to be, into the Rulership Positions of this party, instructing the crazy Hobbits and wack-a-doos what 'real conservatism' is."

Spoiler alert: "Real Conservatism" for the Cruise Cuck Boys just happens to resemble the Democrat Party platform except with some deeply, deeply insincere rhetoric about the pro-life position (which they will make sure never becomes actual policy) and open borders immigration policies (which is only different from the Democrats' position in that the RINOs want to pretend it's not open borders, whereas Democrats are now comfortable embracing the true name of the position) and some favors for their corporate donors.

Which isn't even any different from the Democrats; they, of course, suck up huge amounts of corporate contributions too, and do as many favors for mega-corporations as the cucks do.

Vote like your country's life depended on it -- because it does.

I Forgot To Mention: "Mainstream Republicans" vote at high rates. This includes liberal Republicans.

However, Trump-supporting Republicans vote more like minorities or young people -- they might vote, but most of them probably won't.

Point is, we do have the power to impose our will on the RINOs -- but there's a very good chance we'll just blow it off, and then just curse impotently when Bill Kristol, AllahPundit, David French, Jonah Goldberg, and the rest of the liberal RINO gang is doing their victory laps tomorrow night.

A victory we could have denied them -- but didn't bother doing so.
