I believe that the RINOS slit their throats by compromising and passing every piece of agenda the rats threw on the floor. Instead of a massive red wave election it is rapidly becoming tap! Where the R showed promise to flips a D to an R in cities that are struggling to make ends meet the RINO didn’t go on the attack. Republicans like McConnell and McCarthy have been extremely silent. ....The train has left the station they blew it! Why are they so silent? why isn’t the Republicans on the attack? Richard Barris hit the nail on the head when he said McConnell and McCarthy do not want A huge majority because they won’t be able to control them! Fire the bastards once and for all!

"I heard rumors of Trustafarians in Asheville, NC. These are kids who are supported by trust funds provided by wealthy parents. Even though they might be in their 30s and 40s, they do not have to work for a living."

They do indeed exist and they are amongst us just about everywhere.

While they may not do traditional productive work, many are highly educated and their "job" is being groomed for future leadership. They are on boards and commissions. They are your future political movers and shakers.

Sure there are lazy louts among their economic class, but trustfarians are our current ruling class secret weapon to control the future.

Yep, living on his parents’ money for such a long time — the guy sounds like Karl Marx himself.

Dunno why so many people lionize Marx, by the way. He was a disheveled, gross layabout who boinked the family maid and whose kids died from neglect.

Sorry but half of you are worse than worthless.

The primary is over. Trump’s pick one. And you idiots sit here talking about handing the senate to the democrats with a leftist president in office.

Absolutely idiotic.

In the late 1970s, in my Air Force period, I worked with some E5 (been in 6 years) who was getting a monthly check for $1,000 from his parents.

They felt the AF was underpaying him.

Actually, I don’t begrudge the trustafarians good fortune of having been born with a silver spoon. However, I really doubt their ability to understand what the working people have to go through. Also, I think based on what I have seen/heard, the trustafarians have a propensity to being liberal, or succumbing to the liberal theology.

“...who gave him and his family $54,000 in 2015 alone...”

I’m sure the IRS has been looking into his income tax returns for years.

Not my friends - Co-workers who are McCormick supporters and refuse to vote for OZ - one guy in our office used vacation time to campaign for McCormick.

The time for electoral purity is during the primary. For the general election, you vote party.

In general republicans are weak idiots but they are not America hating scum like Fetterman.

No they won’t. Each parent can give him $13,500 ($27,000) and his wife the same amount tax free.

Sorry but half of you are worse than worthless.

What good is a Republican Party that is run by RINOs? They will put us on a path to increased government control (use the word socialism if you like) just at at a slower pace. Conservatives need to capture the GOP first before we can take on the Dems.

I understand your frustration and can see where you are strategically coming from. But conservatives have compromised way too much and a message needs to be sent to the GOP. I understand the need to make alliances and to compromise wit those close to your political philosophy- but only to a point. Otherwise you are going to get nothing but Bushs, Romneys and McCains.

Lastly, lighten up- we are not the enemy
