Too many confuse religious zealotry with conservatism. They aren't even remotely the same thing, yet most of the Oklahoma "conservatives" are really just statists who talk about God and church a lot. <img src="/images/smilies/frown.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" data-shortname=":(" />On the national level? We have to stop letting the GOP insulate the Dems from the repercussions of their bad choices. Look at what Ryan just did in Congress. He knew he couldn't get the true conservatives like Bridenstine to vote for his liberal Omnibus bill, so he gave the Dems even MORE of what they wanted so it would pass. That tells you how much the GOP "leadership" loathes the conservatives within their own party. Until we get rid of the Ryans and McConnells and Bushes of the GOP, they will continue to fracture and destroy it. So the last thing I'm willing to do is give one of them my vote! Simply put, they can change with the times or get run over. I'd rather paint them as the reason Hillary won and get rid of more of them in the mid terms, than let them hand the House & Senate back over to the Dems while they sell us down the drain to special interests. The pending SCOTUS appointments should scare them into surrender, but they're not going to use that against me and MANY GOP voters like me. If they want a GOP POTUS making those selections, then they'd better make peace with Cruz or Trump. They WILL NOT win the general election with one of their RINOs bearing the GOP standard. <img src="/images/smilies/frown.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
