Honest elections: a thing of the past?

J. Christian Adams catalogs the horrors of H.R. 1, which would codify much of the roadmap for fraud utilized by the Democrats in the recent debacle.

Meanwhile, Hugh Hewitt - who, when it comes to audacious and aggressive conservatism, is the Mr. Rogers of allegedly right-wing pundits, and a man who hasn't had an original idea in...well, forever - thinks Republicans need to work together and eschew "purity crusades" (the link goes to Hewitt at Hot Air, by the way; unless you particularly want to sample some very tepid prose, with a smidgen of moth-eaten quotes from Victorian-era Tory prime ministers, be advised that I've already given you the gist).

So, there shouldn't be any purity crusades, eh? You mean, like the one Mitch McConnell launched when he very publicly targeted the Tea Party movement for extinction? Or Mitt Romney, with his knee-jerk attacks on Trump and his lust for impeachment? Or Lindsey Graham, who painted everybody who objected to open borders as bigots? Or the NeverTrumpers who did nothing but snark about Trump and his supporters from the beginning (and now spend their days emitting progressive pheromones to signal their utter submission to  leftist billionaires and the their favorite political party)?

In the short-term, purging the Republican Party of its unimaginative, time-serving, failure theater managers might, indeed, cost us an election here or there, as a certain amount of organizational disruption and a few bumps in the learning curve are to be expected, while a new breed of Republican enters the fray. But I am hard pressed to see how strapping ourselves into Mitch McConnel's yoke for the sake of unity is ever going to lead to shoring up our much-damaged institutions.
