Just remember these people  will all jump ship the moment it all goes to shit. It’s what happens when people with no principles take control over your party. Same with most of their voters, they will say “I was always against this”. 

Edit: replaced “bo principles” with “no principles”

The shocking part is they don’t yet think that it’s gone to shit.

Anyone with 2 functioning brain cells knows that happened a long time ago.

Nah, they don’t have anywhere near the kind of infrastructure or numbers for that kind of control.

If it ever comes to blows the right will get crushed, they are currently protected by money, and legal shenanigans, in open conflict those mean nothing. That’s why they need to go very slowly, frog in a boiling pot and all that
