You won't, except on straight party votes, in which case the vote will now go the way of D, not R.

“White Privilege” is really just the functional superiority of Western Civilization. (No lack of “color” involved whatsoever)

Ryan leaving may cost his own seat but will inspire a dozen more seats to be won by the Republicans.

It seems Cook was way wrong in 2016, so let’s make sure we ask them about the upcoming race for Ryan’s seat.

Don’t know anything about the guy.

But with press like that, he is looking radioactive and on fire.

They need to move it towards Republican because a real one will get elected this time.

Nehlen doesn’t kiss BLM, Naacp and the Israel lobby’s ass, that makes him a White Nationalist.
