Loading ...Louisiana Fires the First Shot the RINOs of the UniParty Cannot Survive
The polls open in Louisiana this morning on a question that has nothing to do with Louisiana and everything to do with the future of the Republican Party. For the first time in nearly a hundred years, a sitting United States senator may lose a primary to his own base.
The senator is Bill Cassidy. The base is everyone who has watched Republican incumbents legislate like Democrats between elections and then come home wrapped in the flag every six years to ask for another term.
Cassidy is not an aberration. He is the prototype. He is what happens when a senator concludes that the Swamp will protect him from his voters, that party leadership will run interference, and that the conservative grassroots have the political memory of a goldfish. What happens today in Louisiana will tell us whether that calculation still holds, or whether the era of the milquetoast RINO incumbent is finally, mercifully ending.
