“The Democrats will implode. It will become the party of minorities.”
It will remain the party of the super wealthy who want everyone else footing the bills for their scams.
No one needs a republican to oppose Trump. A Democrat can do that and Republican voters will stay home. IF republicans had any sense they’d push the president’s agenda through. Imho John McCain wants to give Congress to the Democrats.
Your comments are well put. Millions like you are getting it. The Lame Stream Media, like many of America’s institutions, has became infiltrated by the Communists and has become the Great Enemy of the people.
Those willing to fight evil win - whodathunkit?
It is the media that is actually helping to undermine the Democratic candidates.
Their hostile coverage energizes Trump supporters and hard-core Republicans—these are the hard workers that every campaign needs and at this point Republican campaign workers will walk through walls to help their candidate win.
Their “the Democrat may actually do it this time” coverage motivates every luke-warm Republican to drag their rear ends to the polls and vote Republican on these low turnout elections.
If the press totally ignored these races the Democrats would be more likely to pull an upset.
One example of how this works was the primary (2014?) in Virginia where the Republican Minority Leader lost to an unknown. The media totally ignored the race and thought there was nothing to cover. As a result the Republican establishment ignored it as well.
I bet, with almost complete certainty, that the entire Press has been given instructions and a "How to" primer on doing this exact action so they can elicit some type of negative response they can then use to smear the conservative candidate/politician.
OH is Mandel. Solid. He’s leading by 5 already.
If I recall correctly, right after Obama was elected in 2008, the Republicans started winning all of the special one-off elections, and that led to the 2010 mid-term. Funny how the media has forgotten all of that.
Oh, I know. I’m just worried about our beloved Pig Vomit doing a sabotage number on Mandel. Deep State RINOs are scum.
No, actually they didn’t. That was a serious complaint at the time that the National Chairman, Michael Steele of Maryland, wasn’t lifting a damn finger to help our candidates in the specials. They ignored the race to replace Rahm Emanuel (a fellow FReeper, ChicagoLady, was the nominee, and she can attest to the fact they offered her no help, despite the fact the GOP had won the seat as recently as 1994). That followed by 2 disastrous losses in NY, for the Gillibrand seat (which was historically Republican) and for an open Republican seat held by John McHugh (in which a closet Democrat was nominated, and she quit the race and endorsed the Democrat before the election, who won).
It wasn’t until the Virginia statewide races a year later (Nov 2009) that they won anything (sweeping the Governorship, Lt. Gov, and Atty General offices). Other than that, the only 2 contests the GOP won between then and the November 2010 elections were the marquee race in Massachusetts in January 2010 (Scott Brown), and a House special in Hawaii in May 2010 (Charles Djou), which was then promptly lost in November (and Brown’s seat lost in 2012).
It took the independent Tea Party movement for the GOP to recoup its losses that started in 2006, but that was no thanks to incompetent GOP leadership then of Steele, Boehner and McConnell. Had there been no such movement and if the party had had to rely on its normal operations, its unlikely the GOP would’ve made more than desultory gains in 2010, and not enough to win the House or Governorships and legislatures.
Seems to me Mandel has blessing of the party.
BTW, READ THIS to the bottom. See what strikes you: https://t.co/LtBigonQQd
I’d like to know why in the hell that committee (or indeed, ANY Congressional committee) is nearly all-Democrat with its staffers. Something is very, very wrong here. We know full well a Democrat majority would never allow such a makeup with the reverse. It seems pretty clear that Chaffetz is compromised in some way, although I’m not terribly enthused about Gowdy as his replacement, either.
Precisely. And all DC Democrats. I guarantee you, only a tiny % are from home districts. This warrants a MAJOR investigation.
It also means either our “conservative media” is stupid, or has been covering up, that an unknown reporter for a nothing source only in passing points this out.
Swamp Rats.
I could actually buy that “Conservative Media” might very well have missed this (unless they reported it somewhere else and we simply didn’t see it. Countless stories have slipped under the radar over the years). But you’re right, this is a huge story (and if it isn’t, it damn well should be).
Gowdy should indeed fire the entire staff, even the two Republicans (unless they can demonstrate why they deserve to be hired back). If the Dems want to hire Dem staffers for themselves, let them, but otherwise, Gowdy should hire only Republicans (and/or Conservative Independents) and probably from outside of DC. Perhaps recruit straight from colleges (think of “The Untouchables” when Ness & Co. went straight to the Police Academy to find an untainted and unbribed but motivated newbie officer).
