Why is Rand saying this stuff now? Can we just focus on what is critical to win in November, and THEN announce all of this stuff.

Does Rand really need to pump up the supporters who will go to the polls over this? Aren’t they already in his camp?

I swear, the Republicans are TRYING to drive independents away from voting for them. And we need independent votes.

Its like they cannot help themselves.

Its the economy, Stupid.

I live in a +5 D county in blue NYS. I think this issue would be a net positive here.

Rand has been grilling Fauci endlessly which is fine but to your point, they need to focus on the economy to win elections. People vote with their wallets.

"Can we just focus on what is critical to win in November, and THEN announce all of this stuff"

I strongly agree with this sentiment. It shouldn't be used as an election ploy, although I'm not suggesting that that's the only reason for the statement.

But, yes -- Repubs often do things like this and then forget or roll over and play dead after they're actually "in power". (quotes intentional, because they seem to lack the will or knowledge on how to exercise that power...)

I just wish that they would quit telegraphing moves that allow prospective targets to coordinate alibis, destroy evidence and documents, and develop a coordinated defense strategy long before the big Republican gun goes 'Pop'...

The Dems, despicable as they are, know how to play the game. How many of these recent FBI raids on private citizens were announced beforehand, for example.

That's why my eyes roll when Grassley or somebody long in advance announces that he's warned some swamp-dweller to 'Preserve all documents, emails, etc.'

It may sound like a good strategy so that this destruction would be in violation of 'serious' Federal guidelines, but who are we kidding? They'll do what they do anyway, and get away with it. There's no stomach for upholding the law in that cesspool. The only people ever held accountable are conservatives.

Because it will help in November if the people who don’t like either party hear this. They want gov’t held accountable and so far the GOP never does. They say it but never do it...this will probably be another example of them saying it but not doing it.

That topic alone should defeat or deflate any Rat running for office. Beat them about the head and shoulders with the Biden Economy.

To take the country back we don’t need “independents”.

We need Democrats.

Granted one may be in the minority, but one happens to believe that planetary mass murder actually does have something to do with it.
