David McCormick, the establishment Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, recently hosted a fundraiser with Dominion Voting System’s anti-Trump public relations representative Tony Fratto.
The fundraising reception was held in New York on January 24.
Fratto is a partner at Hamilton Place Strategies, a top PR firm that was hired by Dominion in December 2020.

Oh, well.
And “Republicans” still showed up, stayed after learning that a Dominion Rep was there and will still vote for him.
Yet, another shining example of why the Republican Party is in the shape it is in.
Establishment owns the R party. We tried with the tea party, and trump, and got little traction.
New party, primary, vote the D in if that fails, and then kick the d out next cycle planting our guys in the R jerseys as necessary.
Easier to beat an incumbent D then an incumbent R
McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO, was the Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs for the George W. Bush administration. He married Dina Powell, an executive at Goldman Sachs, in 2019.
That should be everything anyone in Pennsylvania needs to know, to show him the door.
And if anyone needs more reason to run him out of the Pennsylvania......
McCormick is a Trustee of the Aspen Institute[32][33] and he is the Chairman of the International Advisory Board of the Atlantic Council.[34] He is a member of the Aspen Strategy Group
The Atlantic Council...
Their board of directors includes people who have misinformed the public into war and toppled democracies. Now they’re working with Facebook to protect us from misinformation in the name of democracy.
What could go wrong?
Here’s 5 Frightening Facts about the Atlantic Council
1. Enemies of Democracy
Facebook said they’ll be working with the Atlantic Council “to protect free and fair elections across the world” The CIA by the way has several former directors, who are also on the Atlantic Council’s board, along with former deputy CIA director, Stephen Kappes, a convicted kidnapper.
2. Bush Buddies
The Atlantic Council’s board of directors is filled with members of the George W. Bush administration (including Stephen Hadley, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin Powell. Incredibly, the same day the council announced their partnership with Facebook, they were engaging in their own blatant disinformation campaign, praising George W. Bush with a “Distinguished International Leadership Award.”
3. Media Misinformants
Atlantic Council Vice Chair Richard Edelman is President and CEO of the largest private PR firm in the world. Edelman has been caught multiple times creating fake grassroots campaigns like the anti-union “Workers for Walmart”, which was secretly funded by Walmart, and the anti cap-and-trade Energy Citizens, whose rallies were entirely made up of paid fossil fuel employees.
4. War Hawks
Many members of the Atlantic Council are war hawks itching to go to war with one nation in particular.
Here’s Atlantic Council International Advisor, James Clapper painting all Russians as genetically untrustworthy.....“Just the historical practices of the Russians who typically [are] almost genetically driven to co-opt, penetrate, gain favor, whatever.”
Atlantic Council Executive Vice Chair Stephen Hadley is especially eager to go to war with Russia.....“If I were in my old job I would be thinking about lethal action, yes. But you know this is why you have a CIA.. This is why you have covert action…You know I think now we tend to talk too much and act too little. And sometimes it’s good if weapons just start showing up…”
Speaking of weapons, the council gets funding from literally the largest military contractors in the world. So that may be a factor in why they’re so trigger happy.
5. Targeting Dissidents
Before Partnering with Facebook, the Atlantic Council worked with the UK government to identify twitter accounts that they said spread disinformation.
One of those accused of being “a probable Russian disinformation account” was Ian Shilling, a British retiree who went on Sky News to clear his name.
What’s especially troubling, according to defense correspondent Alistair Bunkall, is that one of the reasons Ian’s account was identified as fake is because he posted a lot of tweets critical of the British government.
The Aspen Institute is an international nonprofit organization founded in 1949 as the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies ..... The Aspen Institute is largely funded by foundations such as the Carnegie Corporation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Gates Foundation, the Lumina Foundation, and the Ford Foundation, by seminar fees, and by individual donations. And of course, Soros is in there, as well.

I’m following you, and I’m not saying you’re wrong. And I’m not the “a crappy R is better than a D”, I was but not anymore.
But, if the people would just sound off and say, NOPE - not voting for this guy for any reason- during a primary, then the battle is halfway won. The other half is not believing the pundits and Establishment when they say that their guy/gal is the only that can be competitive.
Think about this clown. Running for Senate in Pennsylvania and he’s in NYC, with his hand out. Shouldn’t he be in Pennsylvania, talking to the people and not the donors and Wall St. He’s telegraphing that he’ll sell the state out to Wall St and the hedge funds, as soon as he gets to DC and make sure that as many jobs as possible go to China.
Donald J Trump is/was proof that that is wrong.
A South Jersey truck driver also proved that wrong.
Keep voting RINO for the Bush Crime Family.
I’m quite sure that they dug a little deeper than I did.
But I just typed that clowns name in and went to the Wikipedia page for him.
No telling those guys can talk about.
Doesn’t matter who you “do” or “do not” vote for...
There will be no more elections decided by the citizen voters, IMHO...
Soros, Bezos, & Gates will once again finance the fraudulent-vote-count campaign...
Plus, there will be at least 40 million MIVs voting in 2024...
As a result, the communist candidate is on track to garner 110 million votes...
Feasting on our tax dollars always brings out the love and kisses.
Keep bitching but fight and vote anyway.

Wall Street Titans Support One of Their Own, David McCormick, in Senate Bid
We can absolutely afford to lose one or two seats. I favor not voting at all if Lez Cheney somehow rigs the WY primary. Let a filthy D have it for a term if necessary to kick her ass to the curb.
Republican party is not in bad shape as you think.
Excellent chance GOP wins majority in House and Senate in coming November election.
I’m with you there. 100%
But, it will be rather telling if she gets much support. If she’s as hated as much as I hope she is, and should be, if she gets any support than it proves that the voters are absolute morons or the machines are so rigged only one thing fixes that.

The problem isn’t Lizard Cheney. The problem is 145 House Republicans thought it would be a good idea to make her a GOP leader AFTER she voted to remove President Trump based on Democrat hoaxes. History shows us that 90%+ of Cheney’s GOP supporters will be reelected. The GOP as an institution is clearly rotten at its core. We are not going to primary our way out of this mess.
That is so horrible. To think how much we’ve been conned all these years.
Really have to wonder where we’d be if we had elected Perot or Pat Buchanan, when we had the chance.
Yep...
