Think it through.

Jacob's unfit for office, I grant you, but so what? If he's elected, he's going to be a freshman congressman from a backwater district with virtually no influence. He won't be in a position in which to harm the country with his nuttiness. Most likely, he'll just vote the House party line. I don't see why that's such a problem.

Cannon, on the other hand, is highly influential and a major player for the open-borders lobby in the house. He already has done tremendous harm to the nation, and is poised to do much more.

It's not a hard choice.

Perhaps the cynical nature of the above analysis offends your idealistic sensibilities. Too bad. Patriotic conservatives need to learn realpolitik or else we're doomed to lose.

LOL! Yep throw out a Congressman with influence for somebody who will be considered a nutcase and have no influence in Congress.

That's a really good message to send to the constituients of UT-3.

My advice don't go into political consulting anytime soon.
