“I pray to God all of the never-Trumpers lose their re-election bids.”
That will be critical to draining the swamp effectively.
Everyone in Arizona support Kelly Ward in 2018. She’s running against Flake in the primary! She tried to take out McCain but failed. She’s great.
It would also send a loud and clear msg that we’re done putting up with the likes of McCain, Graham and Collins, just to name a few.
That was an awful display, butchering the national anthem the way Roseanne did. I will give her credit for growing up a bit, though. She very vocally opposed Hillary Clinton in this past election and supported Trump. She was one of the few in Hollywood to unabashedly do that. (Clearly she has never cared one way or the other what anyone thought of her, as your video shows!)
I advocate voting for their Democrat opposition in their next election.
They are too entrenched to take out in the primary.
If all Republicans would vote for the Democrats they would be resolutely defeated.
It’s ok to make compromises when you have a traitor in your midst.
Shoot the traitors first, then turn your fire to the enemy.
Oh how delicious it would be to watch President Trump actively campaign against the would be incumbent swamp rats in favor of primary opponents that support him.
OUTSTANDING.
Think of it this way. It’s the early 1980s and you’re a Republican Senator who has openly campaigned against Reagan and now is openly ‘resisting’ Reagan.
Sure, you’ll get a lot of media coverage and you’ll feel real good for yourself, standing on ‘principle’, and you’ll probably get invited to some Democrats bashes. You’ll also great things about how ‘impressed’ the ‘moderates’ are about you and how they’re all ready to get you re-elected.
But then it’s re-election time and you go through the numbers from your last election and realized that some 90 PERCENT of your voters also voted for Reagan, and still like Reagan. It doesn’t take a math degree to find out that there is simply NO WAY to replace even a small fraction of those voters. You quickly find out that the ‘moderates’ are just a small number and if they want ‘resistance’ they’ll get much more by voting Democrat...and so it ends.
It's not the air, it's the way the system is set up. As incumbents they are in position to do whatever it may cost the taxpayers to shore up endorsements and votes in the primaries. As incumbents they can pour a ton of money into their primaries knowing that come the general, the party re-election committees will back them to the hilt.
This is why incumbents, not only in AZ, but GA, KY, ME, etc win primary after primary.
Now we come to those voters who will only contribute to the candidate they want, not the party. If those candidates are incumbents, let's say like Grassley, they are forced to pay 'dues' or assessments or whatever you want to call it to these re-election committees. So your contribution to Sen. Grassley ends up helping the McCains, Flakes, Grahams etc.
It's the system.
Least popular and most likely to be re-elected.
Won’t happen.
Because Corker should be on the list first?
Odd how little 'play' this got...
Doesn’t jibe with the media narrative. RINOs attacking the President are supposed to have sky-high approvals, y’know ?
You’re right.
