Republican Establishment Punishes Virginia GOP For Choosing Corey Stewart

When the Republican Party elite don’t get their way, they will often retaliate, and that is what we are seeing in Virginia right now. After Corey Stewart defeated his establishment-backed opponent Nick Freitas by a narrow margin in the Republican primary race for US Senate earlier this week, the Republican establishment is now punishing Virginia for its choice.

According to the Bull Elephant, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) spent $2.6 million in Virginia on behalf of establishment Republican Ed Gillespie as he tried to defeat Ralph Northam for Governor last year. They will be withholding their big money for Stewart, whose support of America First and border security contradicts their push for illegal immigration and globalist trade agreements.

“When we look at the entire picture across the country, who are the folks that we can work with who are going to help us push those agenda items?” said JC Hernandez, who works as Virginia state director for AFP.

The Koch Brothers are pulling the strings for AFP and they consider keeping open borders, protecting illegal immigrants, and undoing Trump’s trade progress at the top of their agenda. They will be papering over Democrats throughout 2018 on those particular issues while ignoring Stewart and other populist fighters running to assist Trump in Washington D.C.

The Senate GOP’s campaign arm is also refusing to give Stewart any support, in a tacit endorsement for Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine.

Remember all the chest-thumping on FR about RNC fund-raising?
Where will the money go?

Maintaining power is the priority in politics. With President Trump in office, real Americans are a greater danger to establishment republicans than democrats would be. Of course they oppose Corey Stewart.

Instead of learning from their many failures, the Establishment Republicans are stearing themselves towards defunctatude.

Somewhere, there may be old pictures of the Koch Brothers and George Soros sitting at an IHOP, and yukking it up over blueberry pancakes and sausage. And look who’s walking toward the table for that last open chair....Why, it’s Hillary Clinton cradling her first Mimosa of the day.

Kinda confirms my belief that I’m done giving to the GOP. Instead, I’ll support my list of candidates directly.

Republican Establishment is Leftist Light. They help the Left in every way they can. They greased the skids for the likes of Obama and the Left. They hate limited constitutional republican government.

I hate the Reprobate Republican Establishment.

Like the joke about the busload or lawyers going over a cliff, any empty seat is wasted space! Buckle up a$$holes, it’s the law! But give the flight crew parachutes.

A lot of it is raised by the President. I get emails from POTUS, Don, Jr. et al asking me to sign a petition, or the President's birthday card, or enter to join him for dinner. Those emails carry this disclaimer:

"Paid for by Trump Make America Great Again Committee, a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. and the Republican National Committee".

Corey Stewart can beat that poor excuse, empty suit, useless Democrat, Senator, Tim Kaine. Trump & Pence & Ted Cruz, the RNC and the good people of Virginia have to get on the bandwagon raise money for Corey, knock on the doors big time, and make a few massive campaign rallies in the state of Virginia.

I am sure if Trumpie campaigns in Virginia....thousands of Virginia voters will turn out and attend his rallies, support and vote for Corey Stewart!!! GGo DJT, Go Corey Stewart, Go, MAGA!!! Corey can will, campaign hard Corey, day & night and even more.

Tim Kaine does not strike me a a dude filled with MoJo energy!!! He is a lot like Hillary Clinton, lazy & lacking energy to motivate the voters. He is ripe for the pickings!!!

Well, that will then be the last time I participate in any AFP campaigns, such as for lower taxes and regulations, etc. They can go screw; so can the GOP-e.
