More than half of the 17 House Republicans whose seats are up for grabs in districts President Joe Biden won in 2020 have so far remained mum on Donald Trump's conviction, reports the Hill.

Others who haven't weighed in include Reps. Mike Garcia, Michelle Steel, David Valadao, John Duarte and Young Kim of California, Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and David Schweikert of Arizona.

My friends we will need every one of them. Leave them alone. Bacon in Nebraska should have lost in the primary. He won. It is what it is.

Swing districts that hate Trump. Especially those 5 in Calif. Steve Garvey will lose the senate race but perhaps he can help drag them over the finish line.

TRUMP must go to California several times for GArvey.

I can almost guarantee you that every one of these Republicans is representing a House district that Biden won in 2020 and Clinton won in 2016.

Go ahead and primary them. You won’t see another Republican representing those districts for decades.

Like they always say about Repub campaign managers, win or lose as long as the check cashes. You have a winning issue and your managers tell you to not use it.

Garvey wouldn’t commit to Trump in those debates. Perhaps the hispanics old enough to remember his playing days will think of him fondly.

There is no we.

Replacement of GOP and Dem seats with Independents is inevitable. The issue of Garvey is irrelevant since the Dem will have to be prosecuted.

Young Kim never supported Trump while he was President. It’s no surprise that she isn’t speaking up now.

She’s a bland and useless RNC tool who worked for the previous Congressman who held this seat. The only reason to vote for her is to keep the seat out of Democrat hands and that’s what I do.

“There is no we.”

*************

Ain’t that the truth. Yet people keep referring to the GOP as “our party”. Its not; its THEIR party. No matter what they say and no matter how loud they say it, they have no intentions of fighting for us or representing us. If they did we wouldn’t be in the total national mess we’re in today. The fact of the matter is the GOP has done little to nothing to stop the national train wreck.

They are NOT republicans anyway they are Democrats masquerading as republicans!! So who in the hell gives a crap whether there is an R or a D next to the name in the district!! They vote AGAINST everything MAGA regardless!!! Do you honestly believe it is so important to have that R next to the name when their voting average is far below 50%! GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!! These COWARDS are the reason our country is where it is today!!{

RINO Republicans in swing-districts, or in any district are not popular and have a hard time winning.

My Biden swing district elected ultra MAGA candidate Santos by a wide margin. Santos' replacement was an ultra RINO who lost by a wide margin.

Our candidates in all districts should be MAGA or don't don't even bother.

Will they ever learn?

And they will once again if Trump is elected. The duplicitous GOP will resist nearly everything he wants to do. Just like before.

Garvey is getting bad advice. I bet he doesn't win.

RINOs all, which is why they must be relegated back to private citizen status so that they too are forced to live under what they have created or allowed to be created.

Garvey toyed with running for office once before. He came across as a bland moderate that time and he’s just the same now.

If you remember the old campaign slogan “A Choice, Not An Echo”, Garvey is an echo.

At least he benefits from name recognition and he will get the vote of some Dodger fans.

But this is a One Party State (you can thank immigration) and the Democrats have a 2 to 1 advantage so if Garvey wins it will be a massive upset victory.
