Well, in fairness, removing the whip for defying a 3 line whip has a long pedigree. Blair and Major both did so.
Also, only the ones who actually left or endorsed another party were actually expelled, which is standard party membership rules.
Nicholas Soames, for example, retired a Tory. The rest, thankfully, just decided to go independent or Lib Dem (lol). They’re all gone now.
Edit: In a surprise to literally no-one, Grieve and Guake weren’t elected on their personal merits, and lost the moment someone with another Blue Rossette was on the ticket.
Any way you “hack” it…(no pun intended)…the Russians were either 1) a helluva’ lot more successful at hacking the DEMS, and sort of “went with what they got” and/or 2) their intention all along was to disrupt the election in favor of Trump.
Yes…they caused political disruption…but in the end, that disruption was much more beneficial to Trump and his campaign.
(Maybe the DEMS should hire the GOP’s Cybersecurity experts? Right…)
GOP Cybersecurity company is Crowdstrike. You know, they’re paying the same California-based company to keep their e-mails safe while simultaneously accusing them in public of being an Ukrainian company that hid HRC’s servers, not to mention Trump asking the Ukrainian president to investigate them for election interference. Again, a company from Sunnyvale CA.
You silly guys need to learn from us. We have a simple process where 2 out our last 5 elections we hand the ball off to the dude with the least total votes.
