State Level, Republicans have done well for the right to life, people like Perry and Walker have done well.

Less Babies are dead. That’s what I see.

I’m voting Trump and for people who support his reforms. We can’t survive any more Transnational Progressivism (whether it is packaged as liberalism, socialism, or globalist capitalism). People need meaningful work and America needs to be able to manufacture its own stuff so we can fight a war, if necessary.

The media have finaly figured out a meme they want to stick with- Trump’s campaign is ‘failing’

I think the size of his crowds at rallies (tens of thousands) and the size of hilLIARy’s (tens of dozens) tells everything you need to know.

I want them all. And when this is done, I want a Leninist style purge. These people must be politically destroyed, forever. You cannot let rattlesnakes breed in your basement.

And then any race where the R didn’t support Trump I’m voting for the L.

Sounds like a plan...may go with the Constitution Party candidate(s) if available. One thing is for certain, though...I would never, ever vote for a democrat. Never.

Barone is honest. Not always right, but his columns are almost always well thought out and he does actual research into the historical record - something the vast majority of media stenographers fail to do.

What he failed to mention is that the Pubbies overperformed in 2014 and in 2016 an unusually large number of Pubbie Senate seats are up. Further complicating the latter, several of those Senate seats are held by squishy moderates. That would pose a challenge for any conservative presidential candidate.

Totally agree with you, my FRiend. As I have said many times on FR, Kirk is nothing more than Durbin’s poodle. Remember in 2007 he was one of only seven Republicans to vote for cap-and-trade legislation. He got called on that big time by us voters and he apologized profusely. Nothing changed since then.

His opponent in November is Tammy Duckworth, a wounded Iraq vet. I thank her for her sacrifice, but she is still a flaming liberal. BUT, she has a higher conservative rating than Kirk. Go figure.

I’m not voting for Kirk this time. Nor am I voting for Duckworth.

With measured anticipation, I will vote for democrats..not to support democrats, but to vote against the republican incumbents, (Oklahoma). I am deeply saddened that republicans have sat on their hands all these years while Rochester laid waste to our beloved country. To add insult to injury, they actively campaign against the one man who will attempt to save what little remains of our culture and values. I will cast one vote for Trump, and the rest for any and all democrats on the ballot.

(yeah I know, “we must not give the senate and the house to democrats”. So what, the reps in congress are no different than the dems).

Yup. Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Varney, Pirro, and Nappy are the only Fox-based talking heads that I pay attention to. Newt is on board most of the time but is not a consistent Trump loyalist.

I understand your logic, but with me, it is a matter of conscience. Dems are anti-life, anti-Constitution, anti-God, pro-sodomite, and so forth. Can’t support that platform just to punish the other wing of the ‘Uniparty’...YMMV, of course.

If they will not support him during the election why would they support him after?

If Marco Rubio wins his primary, I will be glad to vote against him in the General.

I don’t think the polls are talking to the younger people who are voting for the first time. There are a lot of working class whites who are voting for the first time because of Trump.

Don’t see much difference in the Uniparty these days.

GOPe wants illegals for the cheep workers just as bad as the D’s want them for the votes.

My Senator up for reelection is Burr. He’s all in for illegals.

These people “are anti-life, anti-Constitution, anti-God, pro-sodomite, and so forth.”

Are you speaking of the openly evil Democrats or the traitorous, backstabbing liars in the GOPe who support these actions?

Supporting the first is evil; supporting the second is evil AND stupid.

BCRO - Bergen County Republican

Organization You complete a party affiliation change form at the County offices. Good luck to you. Shame you are dragging your personal feeling for the nations current position with what goes on locally or at our Country level.

If Trump loses, the GOP is done.
