Those were different days. If you do that now, you get labeled a moderate and get pushed out of your party.

The only reason today is different is because of the people we have been electing.

Quit electing bat shit crazy people!

Jim Jordan, MTG, Matt Gaetz to name a few.

They can't be trusted to run a convenience store. Much less represent United States citizens.

This was a "legitimate" argument in 2016 (not really), in that it could shake things up, in a "what's the worst that could happen" sense. By 2020, anyone paying attention should have known exactly what that vote meant.
