The true strength of America has been demonstrated by the fact that we survived eight years of a community orgaing dolt as POTUS.
= = = = = = = = = = =
That is the REAL bottom line.
Would make a GREAT tag line.
I was (and still do) flying my ‘car flag’ during the ‘reign of constipated error’ and when someone ‘questioned’ me (ME!) about it I would reply
“The FLAG is ‘bigger’ than any arze that may be sitting in the pResidents chair”
We survived LBJ, Bushes, Clintoon and hopefully BO - but I am afraid we are going to have to run all the GOPes out of town come 2018...EVEN if we have to settle for a D majority in the House & Senate -
At least when the PRESIDENT ‘critizes’ or chastises the Legislative Body, he won’t have to listen to his own party damning him.
ALL those pols (on both sides) that CLAIM they were voting against BOSCARE and knew it would never go anywhere, should be turned out this election along with their cronies that played the stupid game.
When the Legislative gets straightened out (Talk about a MIRACLE WORKER), the Judicial Branch needs to be addressed.
Then in 2020 when ‘we’ retake the Legislative and hold onto the Executive, start putting this stuff into LAW so the next guy can’t do what ‘we’ are attempting to do.
ALL those pols ... should be turned out
Start a triage list:
1. Those to definitely keep.
2. Those to definitely focus on and defeat.
3. Those who should not be the focus because
....A. They cannot be beaten
....B. It is not a focus if there are too many on the list.
....C. We cannot defeat someone with nobody. If we don’t have a viable candidate, then don’t waste our time.
....D. Trump proved that previous conventional wisdom should not be followed blindly in determining what and who is winnable.
....E. So take most of those we dislike off the list to defeat.
....F Focus on those left on the list who are beatable and undesireable.
Example Illinois Districts
1 D Rush
2 D Kelly
3 D Lipinski-BlueDog? keep? Convince to switch parties?
4 D Gutierrez
5 D Quigley
6 R Roskam keep
7 D Davis, Danny
8 D Krishnamoorthi maybe beatable, who is our candidate?
9 D Schakowsky
10 D Schneider maybe beatable, who is our candidate?
11 D Foster very beatable, who is our candidate?
12 R Bost
13 R Davis, Rodney Swamp champion?
14 R Hultgren Keep
15 R Shimkus Swamp champion?
16 R Kinzinger Swamp champion?
17 D Bustos Very beatable
18 R LaHood Swamp champion?
As can be seen above, I don’t like swamp dwellers.
Can we allow decentralized decision making? Jobs are an issue in many districts. But by 2018 they will no longer be the big issue. The ratio of illegals and Hispanic immigrants will not increase. So that will not draw votes in 2018. To win, we must run on what is relevant in 2018, not what was relevant in the past. If we become like Hillary, a candidate of the past, we will lose.
Sounds good in theory but would be disastrous - no Repub President could get anything done and they would change the rest of the rules so they could do anything they wanted.
Unlike our fickle Repubs, the Dems know how to band together to get it done - especially when "it" is contrary to Freedom.
