K.T. has been a Republican/Conservative Loyalist for Decades. She should be confirmed.

Here’s how the Washington Compost is covering this:

Headline:
“K.T. McFarland provides the latest example of the Trump team’s deceiving Russia denials”

“K.T. has been a Republican/Conservative Loyalist for Decades. She should be confirmed.” Here’s a K.T. story you might not have heard about. I 2006 believe it or not there was a genuine conservative “outsider” named John Spencer the former mayor of Yonkers who was ready to run a strong race against Hillary Clinton as she stood for re-election. Spencer needed help but instead “good solid conservative” K.T. primaryed Spencer and drained his funds. He beat her easily but she was doing Hillary’s dirty work.

K. T. McFarland should be sitting at the table with other cabinet members....(hint,hint). Always liked her. She’s a smart cookie.

Me too but the alternative is worse. I’m an Independent thanks to the Republicans but Texans like myself need another party for those like us. Perhaps the Republican Party can be saved if we get common sense candidates who share our views and support our President.........just know the hell outta the status quo.......
