The RNC/GOP caucus and its members' conduct is subject (first) to their party and oaths of office... keeping the PLANKS of the Party is a duty, not an option...

When a member of the GOP fails in their duty... it is IMPORTANT that the leadership discipline that individual ... or REMOVE, the dissident from the Party.  It does no service to the general membership to keep rouge and independent members in the party.

This lack of discipline is the failure of Party leadership ... NOT the party's failure to mass a majority in Congress.  I would note the rules of Congress are subject to the power brokers in the party caucuses.

When a legislative issue becomes the captive of a minority due to parliamentary rules it is time to change the rules... bulldozing a way forward is necessary... something the GOP fails to understand... or not.  The bulldozing becomes essential to the process, when the collapse of our government may result from the arbitrary administration of a few rouge members...

The party is playing us all for fools... they keep a few members around who can become the focus for their failure to keep the core principles and values of our party (The Party Planks). 

When a manufacturer has an employee who continually fails... to meet his responsibility for production... they don't reward that employee with promotions, pay raises, and additional auhtority... They DISCHARGE THEM.... and it usually is done on the second or third breach in policy... not after decades of bad conduct.

The current leadership in GOP/RNC is at the center of our party's problems... they are not stupid and the party's failure to discipline its rouge members is not accidental nor the fruit of misplaced tolerance... it is habitual and purposeful... serving the underlying goals of leadership... While misdirecting the responsibility for the failure to scapegoats... Sadly, such failures are often the fruit of planned outcomes.

We need to REMOVE THE BAD LEADERSHIP and begin again...
