And what of what is right? In 2012, Orin Hatch found his religion. He stood by the base on immigration. He stood by the base on spending. He stood by the base on its attacks against Obamacare. With his election delivered by a base that held on to him, he broke his promises on immigration, on spendings, on repealing Obamacare, and a host of other issues.
Can you really believe Pat Roberts, suddenly having found religion with Milton Wolf in a primary, won’t lose his faith as easily as Hatch once he has six more years?
Jeff Flake got elected from the House to the Senate with the backing of many conservatives. He promptly betrayed many groups that had supported him with his immigration flip-flop. He proved himself willing to lie to the faces of conservatives. He went so far as to betray conservatives on gun issues once he secured himself six years of unaccountability.
