“Be careful at this stone. Do you see the holes? A rattlesnake lives here,” Linda Rawles warns. She says it’s better to make a lot of noise to scare off the potentially deadly creature. That has also been Rawles’ approach to the presidential campaign: Make as much noise as possible to keep the worst, or more of it, from happening this November.
The 61-year-old lawyer, like many in her age group, is doing all she can take make sure Donald Trump does not win reelection. She says that is because his rude, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic style has angered old allies. She says, most of all, she is fighting the man who destroyed her political home.
Linda Rawles is a Republican through and through. Rawles, who lives with her husband in the Phoenix, Arizona, suburb of Carefree, began volunteering and working for the party at the age of 13. She always campaigned for party members on the municipal and state level. She even ran for Congress herself in 1994. She didn’t win the seat, and one detects a mix of emotions ranging from pride to melancholy when she looks at her old campaign flyers.
“I still stand for the same values,” she says. She believes in free-market principles, adding they are what America was founded on. She also believes in personal responsibility, “I think, a government should stay out of your wallet and out of your bedroom.”
But she says nothing remains of such values after four years of Donald Trump: “He changed the party from a party of freedom to a party which worships dictators and destroys the rule of law.” Rawles calls Trump a “psychologically disturbed sociopath.” …

She fits right in with Pierre Delecto, Kasich, Bush, Lee and all of the rest of the pond scum Rinos that periodically float to the top. I’ve never heard of her either.
Lost me at ‘61 year old lawyer’. She can pound sand.
Just another envious politician of the President seeking attention. President Trump didn’t drain the swamp but one by one we are getting to know these swamp critters that have been slowly surfacing for their moment in time.
GOP is a coalition not a personal possession.
She wants it back to do what with? Worthless idiot.
So she favors illegals? Drugs? China? Mobs?
She doesn’t know what racist is, compared to what’s coming for us all.
Oh and he’s rude not like the democrats who are so sweet.
They write a whole article about the stupid opinions of one nobody republican in Arizona? Pathetic.
And it’s a nobody Republican “through and through”. Like the socialists over in Deutschland are going to know (much less care) what the GOP is supposed to stand for.
This from a European newspaper.
What the H*LL do they understand about American political thought?
She doesn’t even hold an office.
Total nobody.
I found a youtube from FIVE YEARS ago from her.
Anti-Trump then too.
By all means, link it. Would be nice to see how long ago her proverbial fifteen minutes of fame fizzled out.
at least from what i’m seeing, there are a number of differences between libertarians and conservatives.
Seems like the libertarian view would work better in a more ideal and trusting society.
We don’t have that.
Also from what I’ve seen since Trump got reelected, there’s sometimes not a whole heck of a lot of difference between Rs and Ds on some issues.
But of course after seeing what the house did to Trump, I realize how important it is to get it back.
She ain’t no conservative that’s for sure. Probably voted for McShamey every time
The libertarian view allows for sexual immorality. How could that survive in the Millennium?
Search on her name.
I am sorry, but i don’t see a link in youtube.
But it was near the top.
When it comes to sex, you have to start from the right because if you’re lucky, people will drift to center.
If you start from the left, people will drift to bestiality :)
I’ve been no saint my whole life and I would do a number of things differently but one cannot go back so they must go forward trying to do the right thing.
Look for “Linda Rawles on Donald Trump”
