Because if it’s 50/50, Minion Romney will screw us every time.
———
Like McCain did on health care reform and other important issues, and which Collins does from time to time.

“Then there is the Pelosi congress. It has accomplished nothing.”

AGREE! Nothing much has been made of the Pelosi “Do Nothing” Congress.

I mean “WHAT” have they done? Other than harass Trump.

They have been the epitome of a Do Nothing Congress.

But in all likelihood, the decline of the House started in 1995, when the newly elected Republican Congress under Newt Gingrich caved in to media pressure to give Bill Clinton his bloated budget.

I have never seen the establishment/Deep State so terrified as in November, 1994 - when they thought Newt Gingrich & Co. were going to storm into DC and “zero out” all of the Left’s budget priorities. That was the moment American Collectivism could have been stopped dead in its tracks, but the media saved it.

******************

In most times, “do nothing” congress is the absolute best congress.

I just can not figure out why people want a congress that approaches the manufacturing of bad law like their paid factory piece work wages.

The original setup made it hard to get anything done in congress on *purpose*. A congress that’s blown every which way and pumping out legislation on the whim of the day is a disaster.

The GOP is not attracting enough fresh, young candidates like Matt Gaetz, Dan Crenshaw and Ron DeSantis Instead we get duds like Romney and McCain and old farts like one of our State Senators who wanted to be sure you are dying before you can be given super weak medical marijuana and said veterans with PTSD just wanted to get high. Beto was young and exciting is why he almost beat St. Ted of Canada in Texas.

I don’t think Roy will get the nomination. Roy didn’t even campaign and left himself vulnerable to the attacks. He just ran commercial and expected everyone to vote for him. Democrats saw he was weak and went for jugular. Roy curdled up in ball and did nothing. People will not nominate him again. Now do we have a strong conservative running for the seat ? I don’t think anyone has jumped out front yet.

On Twitter, Roy Moore is a "convicted pedophile".

At this point, I consider Moore to be a Democrat, because his presence in the race may cement another Democrat Senate victory in Alabama.

That puts our national edge in the Senate at risk. And that means that the appointment of conservative judges over partisan Democrat judge-presidents is at risk.

Dan Crenshaw? One eyed Willie McCain. Less than worthless. Time to start a grass roots effort to eradicate the Republicants and start up the Trump party!

Good time to push term limits.
