            Why do you think the "90%" figure is correct or that it is important?

              That is probably true. Heck, I didn't care until about yesterday when I started to google what this was all about.

                I am guess that the moderate Republican and moderate Democrat have more in common with each other than the moderate Republican and extreme Republican.

                No reason it would not work, but like @jon said, if they agreed, then probably a primary by an extreme member

                            Saw this on FB.

                            Kevin McCarthy has been rejected almost as many times as Lauren Boebert failed the GED.

                                    Probably had to promise to leave the Capitol doors unlocked after every Dem presidential victory.

                                    Education is extremely important.
