[campaignPete R-CT]

NORTHEAST and SOUTH This will be updated periodically. The rest of country ... threads will be posted within a few days and a link will be placed below in this thread.

Again, the criteria: the candidate must have a legit shot in NOV in their district and they are also in a tough primary fight against a candidate with lesser conservative appeal (or even a liberal).

Dave Trott the chamber of commerce candidate without the courage to even mention Immigration or border control. No absolute opposition to Abortion.....

imp, we received commentary on your star, Dave Trott.

Monte Shaw has Steve King’s brother on his team. So he sounds good.

Kerry Bentivolio is better than Dave Trott.

Kerry is a hardliner on immigration. The last thing we need is an open borders businessman buying the seat and staying in it for a decade.

this is for the MIDWEST ... typo above.

What is it with you people and this desperate need to call for backup?

As I’ve cited, Bentivolio needs to pick up the pace on his fundraising. He trails both Trott and the Democrat nominee in that department. I’m not strictly opposed to Bentivolio, though the MI Paulbot Amash has GOT to go. If he wants to serve as the Press Secretary for the Dictator of Iran, he should move there.

Washington post gives the 11th district seat (Bentivolio) a 99% chance of staying republican.

Creek, Trott is up here cuz it is a group effort ... with further research ... looks like he will come down.

we are only posting candidates where there is a strong consensus that the opponent isn’t worth it.

(the Blaze)Awkward: Former IRS Head Says He ‘Really Can’t Recite the Constitution’ When Pressed by GOP Rep.

Things got awkward during the House Oversight Committee’s second IRS hearing on Wednesday when Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-MI), while seemingly making a larger point, couldn’t get former IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman to acknowledge certain amendments to the Constitution.

After confirming that the IRS requires ethics training, Bentivolio was trying to figure out if the IRS required training on the Constitution. He may have got his answer despite Shulman’s response saying he couldn’t give one.

“Did you study the Constitution?” Bentivolio asked.

“I went to law school,” Shulman responded.

“You went to law school. Did you study the Constitution?”

“I believe I took Constitutional law, but I’m not prepared to take an exam at this time,” Shulman said with a chuckle. “Meaning I’ll answer any of your question but I can’t promise that I’m an expert.”

Kerry Bentivolio newsletter on the border and immigration.

“What you’re seeing here is a shameless political ploy to buy new voters. Democrats want the votes and Republicans the cheap labor … unfortunately the status quo will be maintained,” “Immigration reform shouldn’t be about buying off lawbreakers so they’ll consider becoming Republican. It’s about letting in people who want to become Americans and obey American laws. What kind of country will we be if we reward people for breaking the law?”

“The Senate is already caving to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants and congressmen like myself in the House will be the only thing between maintaing the rule of law and virtually dissolving our border,” he wrote.

Back in 2010 he had former students attacking him for being a mean teacher who yelled at them sometimes. LOL

[deport]

Heck I suspect even Santa can raise his voice at times.
Nothing wrong with that.

[campaignPete R-CT]

This ain’t my day. I’ve done gone and posted an endorsement for the guy running against a pro-life Santa. And once you’ve posted something on the web, it lives forever.

I just went to Santas website and endorsed him. But I will not volunteer.

Almost finished...
Fellow Patroit,

You have the determination to step up and take back our Country. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
