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.

I think the opposite is true. Openly support Trump, and it will make a positive difference for Garvey.

They are the same ones who won’t vote AG Garland in contempt of Congress.
The same ones who vote for more U.S. Tax Dollars for YouCrayne.
The same ones who vote for more spending, etc…etc…

In other words they are Democrats.

Fitzpatrick of PA is a RINO grub.

He lambasted Trump in 2020 on his stolen election claims in a tweet.

They are waiting for the polling results before commenting.

David Schweikert is not in a Swing-District.

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

Funny how that rationalization only applies to Republicans.

Republicans have a RINO problem. The Democrats don’t have a DINO problem.

The Democrats are purists. They win when they’re in power and they win when they’re out of power.

Republicans are the party of “the lesser of two evils” aka “the big tent” aka “the Uniparty”. It isn’t working. In fact, it’s been a complete and utter failure. RINOs will never implement a conservative agenda.

Maybe Republicans should try something different for a change. Become purists. Purge the RINOs. Support conservatives. Become an opposition party.

*Ultra Mega 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?*

Santos rino? I think not. Ever learn? Stand up for him and keep him there. It’s no ‘learning’. It’s balls.

*Openly support Trump, and it will make a positive difference for Garvey.*
It’s timing. When Trump polls show him pulling away with it Garvey should then strike. Not before.

Yes, that's part of my point.

Stand up for him and keep him there.

The RINOs in congress removed him. That's also part of my point.

Az. 1st district. Any 1st district is usually metropolitan. That district gave us such illustrious members as Jeff Flake and John McCain. 10 years it was blue2013-2023. Schwikert won by 3k votes in ‘22.
Leave him alone.

It’s not their fault that voters support the guilty verdict by 20 points. Why should they walk the plank for Trump?

Arguing with some of these folks is pointless. Many have convinced themselves that 100% purity had to be the measure. They will tell you with a straight face that a Republican that votes conservative 75% of the time is no better than a Democrat that votes conservative 0% of the time. They don’t take into account the legitimate districts/areas where centrist voters are a large majority. They believe they can elect Trump while boycotting every other Republican & he can get everything done all by himself- magic! 🙄

Ok, I should be more clear. It's not the old 1st, which is now
the new 6th (close enough). The old 6th is now a redefined 1st.
The new 1st is not a Swing-District, it's Red. I live here.

Schweikert should speak-up. After all, I let him put a sign in
my yard, lol.

Fine but he still won by just 3k votes. He’s gotta be careful even if it’s sometimes to a fault. I’m all for Cantorizing rinos in red districts. Shouda been done with Bacon in Nebraska. Didn’t happen because our conservatives are fractured. Speaking of Nebraska Chuck Hagel seemed to have a whadda-ya-gonna-do attitude.

Dick Lugar-Indiana. The state was too red for him. 36 years before we caught up with him. Per Wikipedia Lugar’s endorsements were a who’s who of the deep state. Who did we replace him with? Richard Murdock His supporters were Sharon Angle/Michelle Bachman. He promptly blew it so be careful what you wish for.
