'Get Packing': GOP Sent Moving Boxes To Democrats In Competitive Races After Impeachment Vote
Townhall ^ | Nov 01, 2019 | Matt Vespa

There were some reports that House Democrats didn’t have the votes. The 25 or so Democrats who won in Trump districts know the polling. In battleground states, Trump’s impeachment isn’t popular. These folks didn’t win their 2018 races by massive margins. One bad move or vote could sink them, but those concerns were extinguished yesterday when House Democrats mustered 232 votes for this coup attempt—sorry, I mean impeachment push. Pelosi must’ve promised these members all the cover ad support they need, along with the pin number to the Democrats’ 2020 war chest. Still, that didn’t stop the National Republican Congressional Committee from sending moving boxes to these competitive districts represented by Democrats with a simple message: ‘Get packing’ (via USA Today):

The National Republican Congressional Committee sent packing boxes to several House Democrats who represent battleground states to signify they'll need them as "moving boxes" next November, prompting Capitol Hill police to investigate them as suspicious packages.

The boxes were delivered outside the offices of Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.), Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.), Conor Lamb (D-Pa.) and others to indicate they will not be in office much longer because of their participation into the impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump.

The sealed boxes were adorned with bows and a message that read “Get packing!”

Most of the Democrats who received packages flipped GOP districts in 2018 and will face competitive races next year to keep them.

[…]

Following the stunt, Democrats announced that they will be using the boxes to fill with food for those in need during the holidays, writing, “We’d be happy to use those boxes so that our staff can run a Thanksgiving food drive and turn your hilarious prank into a force for good.”

Yes, a lighter moment, I guess. But it’ll likely be the last. This impeachment proceeding, along with the 2020 election is going to be downright nasty.

It is like testes dropping. The Pubbies trolled the Dems. Can you think of anyone else that trolls the Dems, the Media, etc? It means FINALLY they aren’t acting like effete stuffed shirt aristocrats with sleeve kerchiefs and a snuff box.

You running low on snuff?

They pull the same chit again even though Americans wanted the parties to work together to solve the country’s problems.

Democrats should run on impeachment next year. It seems to be the only issue they can unite around.

Let’s see if the voters agree.

Trolling is fun.

“Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

Rule #9:
“The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself.”

Rule #10:
“Maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

Rule #13:
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.
Go after people and not institutions.”

Good observation, FRiend jeffc

I would say that one of the defining characteristics of Leftism is humor impairment.

Lenin and Stalin ... what a pair of comical cut-ups those were.

I think this is a great idea! I’m going to take some moving boxes to my Rep’s office on Monday. I think we all should do that!

As well they should have. Because the boxes contained "The Truth". And as we all know, "The Truth" is poison to Democrats ;-)

Our side is not supposed to fight back. We have to be like W and not say a word when the left is bashing us upside our heads. These people have been paper tigers all along, and Trump has shown us all we ever had to do was push back just a little bit and they would go to pieces!

What was that vote in the Senate I think where only dims voted for it and the Republicans waved to them as they left the chamber indicating their chances in the next election cycle?

Good. Step on Dummycrats throats when you have an opportunity instead of acting like the Uni Party.

That seems like a stupid thing to do. How does that help us take back the House?

Psy Ops work. Since the Pussie Pubbies have no track record of being anything except butt boys for the Dem's nastiness, this is coming as a real surprise.

And it pretty well proven that very little causes Dems to go insane and make tactical errors more than just making fun of them followed by a LOL. Also, people are not enthusiastic about voting for people who whine when someone pokes fun at them because the whiners look like losers.

And the more it works, the more (some) Pubbies will do it. Success breed success.
