UPDATE: I have removed Governor Jindal’s twitter handle from the title. His staff reached out to me to say he is not engaging in politics right now. In the wake of the Lafayette shooting, he has gone off the campaign trail to focus on the situation in Louisiana. Today he is attending the funerals of the victims.
It is stuff like this that has Donald Trump in first place, kicking everybody else’s back side. And it is stuff like this that is going to see Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% start rising in the polls.
I realize Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% is a competitor to the other candidates, but if they cannot share the Republican voters’ outrage over what happened in the Senate yesterday, they might need to let Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% run for office.
The Senate Republicans, joined with Democrats, and set the stage for reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, a bank that Governor Rick Perry of Texas has been vocally critical of with Cruz, and the Senate Republicans refused to put up a vote for defunding Planned Parenthood or Obamacare.
The Republicans have all talked a great gam of late on the campaign trail, but when Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) 100% tried to get it defunded in the Senate, Mitch McConnell refused not only to allow the vote, but wouldn’t even allow a roll call vote on it.
Republican Senators refused to fight evil because they do not like Cruz and Lee.
Where the hell are the Republican leader? Of the 2,347 candidates running for President, surely there are more than just Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% willing to speak forcefully and vocally against the Republicans in Washington.
It is outrageous. The excuses of the Senate Republicans hold no water.
Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Carly Fiorina, Bobby Jindal, and the rest should be publicly calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 59% to allow the votes.
And Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 91%, who tweeted he was headed to South Carolina today, should be headed to the Senate instead to help his friend Mike Lee defund Planned Parenthood.
Donald Trump is leading the Republicans in polling because he was the only guy showing leadership against Washington. Ted Cruz showed that leadership this weekend and Republicans should be thanking him for exposing the cronies and corruption.
>> Do you live in a “Red” state...or a “Blue” state? <<
The state where I live is definitely purple (a “swing” state), but my county is a hotbed of committed reds — that is, socialists, environmental wackos and other leftists.
So....you do understand the term...Red State...Blue State.
>> So....you do understand the term...Red State...Blue State <<
What I understand is that the current popular usage is 180º out of phase. Completely backwards.
So as far as I’m concerned, a “red” state is one controlled by socialists or worse, while a “blue” state is controlled by the good guys.
Probably the RED's didn't want to be known..as RED'S.
Somebody here can tell me if I'm right or not.........
Yes, I believe you've stated natters with admirable exactitude!
And even more to the point, "red" has long been accepted internationally, not only in the USA, as the standard color for communists, socialists and other leftists.
>> but that got changed. Probably the RED's didn't want to be known..as RED'S. <<
Indeed. I think you're correct again! Dan Rather and his buddies in the MSM were very clever to pull the big switcheroo -- a psychological coup de guerre so to speak. It's just a crying shame that so many conservatives have naively and gullibly followed this leftwing trope, like so many Hamelin youngsters marching behind a Pied Piper.
