It would be nice if somebody asked the COC candidates about their stance on the Deep State. Could be instructive.
Even if a candidate is gung-ho for the Deep State I’d vote for them if they had an R behind their name at this point - with the promise that once we get rid of the Deep State I’d deal with them as their own individual stance deserves. If they were threatened then thy should straighten up once the threat is gone. If they hate the Constitution even when they’re not a Deep State puppet, then good-bye to them.
A well thought out, WISE post. We need to be strategic when deciding when to take our shots.
