I don’t understand how the Republican National Committee is supposed to support a candidate from an opposing party...that does not make sense to me. First of all, the voters voted this nitwit into this position. The Republicans had a primary and picked this candidate. Don’t ask me why but they did. I am not in the district and if I was would not vote for her...however, I still don’t see why the RNC is being bashed for supporting the candidate that the voters chose to represent the Republicans....Is it the right choice that the voters picked??? No, but the RNC does not have the luxury of supporting a rival. This would be like the coach of Penn State supporting Ohio State on Football game day...Does this more sense????
She was not elected in a primary. In the state of NY a panel chooses the nominee in a special election. She was chosen buy a GOP panel.
Well, perhaps there’s some question whether the RCCC should donate to someone running on the Conservative line only. Although the Conservative Party in New York tries very hard to coordinate with the Republican Party and endorse the same candidates.
But nothing requires them to give money to a rotten candidate who is sure to lose. This woman violates the basic Republican plank in every way imaginable. And there’s no way on earth she would have gotten the job without corrupt Albany favoritism.
As for Newt Gingrich, he stopped being a conservative when he started making deals with clinton, before he retired. And he was never reliably pro-life. He talked the talk, but he only walked the walk for a year or two before betraying all the principles he said he stood for. He left office in disgrace and has done nothing to redeem himself since.
The Republicans did not pick this lady in a GOP Primary, she was picked by 11 Upstate County Republican Chairmen (no election).
