If GOP voters have forgotten the past that quick then all is lost!
What are these Rats going to run on? They going to say, ‘That job you have now that you don’t have before, that extra income (from the recent tax change!) you have now that you didn’t have before. Well none of that actually happened! We’re going back to the way it was, that’s the real reality!’
Of course never underestimate the Stupid Party’s ability to be stupid.
Except for the one year with Gingrich, my whole life has witnessed the Republicans as the party of stupid. This same party and we as a people stood by and watched the coup d'etat in 2007 - 2008 (guised as a global financial crises). Other than a coup d'etat, how does one explain the selling of uranium (rights) to Russia. Selling of technology to China and Russia, the unauthorized transfer of 1.2 billion dollars to a terrorist state.
It may go against all of our perception, logic and common sense, but the "facts" are the Democrats have flipped too many seats in a very short period of time. Other than the President himself, I do not see any "noise" countering this threat. As I wrote before, all I see is "noise" regarding IF the Attorney General is on our side.
50 years of watching tells me we are in a shitload of trouble. For those lurkers reading and do not have the ability to think critically, the above does not mean I have given up, does not mean this can not be turned around. It just means what FACTS are known.
Oh yeah, I do subscribe to both the duck and snake theory. With Trump a very strong "snake" theorist, I feel very comfortable with all his strategic antics. Great entertainment. A lot of folks still have alot to learn about the man, Trump.
Just a guess here, but I think, In general, Republicans supporting Trump want to drain the swamp and they wont support most incumbents. The GOP is running the same swamp rats for higher office... and Democrats are running new blood. Given the choice, I would almost rather put regular people in that could be convinced to do what was right for their country instead of somebody you knew was corrupt because they were your party... maybe they think they are doing what everybody else does in doing whatever they need to do to get elected or more sinister to enrich themselves or worse yet, could be fully a part in the whole plot Trump is trying to exterminate.
Here is the Republican that just won the District 8 special election... (next to ours) Lets just say she did not get caught, but you knew all this happened and she was corrupt... Who do you vote for next November... you only have two choices, would you rather see her or a regular non politician that ran against her as a democrat win the general??

Who knows, maybe even an independent that registered as a Democrat because that is what the district associates with, Sure wish I could find a conservative Latino Republican (or even Democrat for that matter) for our district to challenge Ruben Gallego. We never even have a Republican option... Just don’t believe a non-Latino could win. We have a pizza chain that ONLY goes into areas with over 65% Latino populations... they accept pesos for pizzas in our little corner of Phoenix Arizona.
FYI, Dilley was running against Lesko in the Republican Primary and did not even finish second to her, he only got about 800 votes. I like his drive... New young politician who was following Q when not super popular thing to do... with no name recognition yet. I mean you all know we are all the pariah to a large portion of FR right... lunatics giving the whole place a bad name. Only a small portion are red pilled but the number is growing, probably a similar percentage to the general public.
