On spineless Republicans

On my previous political post, How Republicans win, reader Elrod posted this:

“The more Republicans do Republican things, the more Republicans win elections.”

Absolutely. Now all we need is actual Republicans, preferably with factory-installed large-diameter spines, to replace the fake Republicans we seem to be stuck with everywhere.

Let me explain where the spinelessness comes from. Here's the game. Career politicians want to get rich. You get rich through book deals, speaking fees, IPOs, lobbying gigs, board memberships, etc. Those corporate boards, publishers, banks, the booking agencies for the speaking tours, are all controlled by the Left. The country club boards and college admissions boards are owned by the Left. If you want to cash out, you have to be nice to the Left. If you want to get membership to the nice country club or have your kid admitted to the best college, you have to be nice to the Left. Republicans that do Republican things don't cash out nearly as much. The advantage Trump had is that he already was a billionaire with his own country clubs. He couldn't be bribed. The problem was that Trump could be flattered. If you want a Republican who will be a Republican, you need someone who isn't susceptible to bribery or flattery. That's a hard man (or woman) to find. My problem in politics is that I'm a raging fucking psychopath. What I want is to punish my enemies. I don't want a mansion and millions, I want to drop JDAMs on hedgefund managers who outsource jobs to China. They'll never let me be President.
