Boehner's whole chain of command needs to go. Most of his chairmen either retired or were defeated.

She’s in WA state, which is a mess. It’s a commie stronghold. Bluer than any state in the US right now. It’s a cabal fortress.

Yeah. Safe from any conservative influence, just the way Boehner liked it.

At least eastern WA is OK. Lots of dams and hydropower. CA should learn how to develop that energy source more than its bogus wind / solar dreams.

Liberal Lisa had ads on tv morning till night for months. Where did she get the money? In the end, she was farther behind Cathy than I thought she’d be, wasn’t even close. Guess we still have some sense in this part of the state.
