Republicans may be very skilled liars

They are not skilled liars, and they do not have to be; there's a significant enough number of Americans who simply want the red team to win, no matter what their politicians say.

They will not succeed in the end, though. There is a huge backlash against "RINOS". Solid Republicans despise the moderate elements of their party. And, look at this place. A few years back, there was a pretty clear plurality between left and right in our tiny membership. Do we even have a single person left who has not abandoned the Republican party in disgust?
