I don’t want to sound overly optimistic, but I believe that a Trump “tsunami” will carry many “unknown” Republicans with it. IMHO, a GOP majority in the House and a filibuster-proof GOP majority in the Senate are both achievable.

I do not agree with you that it is MY responsibility to “name” each and every new Republican who will be elected to the House and Senate.

Nor is it my responsibility to “name” today the Democrat Senators and Representatives who will “flip” to the Republican party after the election.

Nor can I list the “programs” that our new Constitution-supporting judges and Justices will soon rule must be stopped — because they are (in spite of Democrat bleating) un-Constitutional.

I DO accept responsibility to vote against the “big spenders” and to communicate to the representatives that we elect that it is THEIR duty to cut wasteful spending.

In other words, I think we patriots should not “surrender” before the “fight” has even begun. I hope you agree.

I do agree.

But it is your responsibility, if you make an argument that “x” can win a seat, to say who “x” is that can win that seat.

I think you’d agree that if Roy Moore wins the nomination in AL, that Senate seat will stay D.

Here in AZ, I don’t see ANY candidates for the three key house races who can re-take these seats.

So, from a strategic point of view-—given what I just wrote about the House-—maybe it makes more sense to put our money into ensuring we keep the Senate, which I think we (barely) will. But that all rests on NOT nominating Moore in AL and in Collins hanging on. Because if it’s 50/50, Minion Romney will screw us every time.

The GOP is not attracting enough fresh, young candidates like Matt Gaetz, Dan Crenshaw and Ron DeSantis Instead we get duds like Romney and McCain and old farts like one of our State Senators who wanted to be sure you are dying before you can be given super weak medical marijuana and said veterans with PTSD just wanted to get high. Beto was young and exciting is why he almost beat St. Ted of Canada in Texas.
