He said as long as the Republicans that run for state and federal office are RINO’s, they’ll win.

Is that a tongue-in-cheek comment? How do RINO's bring us back to sanity?
They campaigned enthusiastically for the more moderate Biden in the general election hoping he’d move to the left once elected. But there’s now no reason for Biden to move left, because he’d be pushing programs that alienate some of the centrists who voted for him yet have no chance of becoming law.
Instead of a blue wave, however, it seems likely that Biden will win a modest electoral college victory while Republicans maintain a thin margin of control in the Senate. Democrats who mainly want to send Trump packing will get their wish. But hopes for a Biden presidency that goes big on Democratic priorities seems dashed.
If Republicans control the Senate, even by a single vote, it will be extremely hard for Democrats to pass new programs such as Biden’s plans for health care, affordable housing, green energy, expanded education or criminal justice reform. This will be especially bitter for the most left-leaning “progressive” Democrats who support Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
