Is anyone taking into account New Hampshire is changing every day with the influx of idiot Massachusetts voters?
More and more of these people move to NH and the state has been rapidly turning into Massachusetts North.
The truth is the Republican base is justifiably demoralized on the basis that the Republican congress cannot or rather will not keep their promise to repeal Obamacare or really accomplish much of anything dispute holding a majority and having promised to do it for years.
Its like our congressmen have just decided not to do anything as if they never intended to keep their word in the first place.
Indeed the fact that the Republicans currently in the majority in congress have already voted to repeal Obamacare back in 2015 yet refuses to do it today looks precisely like that kind of two timing corruption and it is.
The problem is the Tuesday group which is responsible is being protected by Paul Ryan rather than being called out and forced to repeat their 2015 vote, or expose themselves as two timing traitors who never intended to keep their word.
In doing this Paul Ryan is making the whole party look corrupt and two timing rather than just those 20-50 RINOs who only switched sides to prevent their promises from being kept.
Until Paul Ryan starts to go after theses people and forces them to take personal responsibility for their corruption the Republican base is going to get increasingly disenchanted with the party. Why would we vote for someone who is simply lying to us and never intended to actually accomplish any of the goals they promised?
Fieldmarshaldj had a pretty good analysis of this. See if he weighs in.
Temporary... the Dims likely won’t hold it in 2018, especially when Trump goes on the road campaigning. And off year elections usually means low turnout.
All I can say isI’m feeling convicted by a warning I heard about the danger of relying too much on the phrase “Trump’s people, Trump will do this.”
Trump couldn’t do anything if it wasn’t because others elected him.
meh
Refuse to govern? They have all been blackmailed by ... the Communists.
Probably cheating like Hillary’s “voters” did... or dead like the other ones...
I’m puzzled why this article fails to mention that the NH GOP flipped a Dem-held seat at the same time they lost the GOP-held one. That means it was a wash in a very low turnout.
In the NY race, we don’t even know how much each side spent, but I saw a comment about the Teacher Union kicking $200k to the Democrat (and don’t forget with the very large Dem majority in the Assembly, a single seat lost or gained won’t matter, and the Dems have an advantage with any race in the state, even in a GOP district), and again, an embarrassingly low turnout that had Berniecrats being the only ones motivated to get out and vote.
The bigger concerns are the special elections in the Congressional races. If the GOP starts losing those (MT, GA-6, SC-5), then one can declare the party has a problem. We’re already seeing the fake news rolled out to try to cost Gianforte in MT at the last second. We’ll probably see similar fake news scandals right before the 2 races in GA and SC as well. Dems/Media are in such desperation mode.
That's the funniest thing I've read all day. ☺
That was a farce of a race, to be sure. Voters aren’t even permitted to choose a nominee in a NY special election, local party chieftains do so. They’ve been notoriously bad at picking candidates. In this race, they chose left-wing RINO Dede “Scuzzyflavor” to hold the seat, which immediately offended the base, as there was next to no difference between her and the Democrat nominee. The Conservative Party put up a real choice and then the national GOP went in with orders to DESTROY the 3rd Party Conservative, including dispatching Newt Gingrich to help Scuzzyflavor.
When the base made it clear they were not having it and continued to back the Conservative, the GOP all but blew up the race, Scuzzy withdrew and endorsed the Democrat and the fallout and division allowed the Dem to win.
Trump’s media team needs to be campaigning for him now. There are so many areas they could improve in taking control of the media narrative.
I did a whole article on it:

> Despite denial, a 24/7 drum beat of everything negative does take a toll and does harm. <
Yep. And not enough people are taking that seriously. Relentless propaganda can be very effective.
Cannot speak for NH but the Long Island Dem is a virulent anti common core pro opt out of state exams. Very very big issues on LI. The area in question saw 50%+ students kept home by parents on testing days in the various school districts. That is the reason IMO for her win, as well as the GOP in the Oyster Bay part of the district being corrupt and incompetent.
The only thing dragging down the Republican Party are Republicans. They can not drive an agenda.
Agree 100%. Well said.
That's so special!! I'm so proud of you guys! Look at you! Just like a real party!
Trump has four years to get it done. Get you people in and move.
All the Obama people must go IMMEDIATELY.
Yup.
