Most of them have skeletons in their closets they don’t want ‘outed’. The opponents hold onto the info and use it at election time.
It’s like with the trade agreement BOTH MY TN RINO senators will vote for it, even the one up in 2016, he is filthy rich and can out spend any opponent. Bob Corker, Lamar broke his oath of 2 terms and out and cheated to win the third. They do NOT respond to their constituents either. Even my more Conservative US Rep is to liberal for my taste. He’s made some very bad votes that will hurt our Nation and State.
There is a hardly a person in the world without some "skeleton in his/her closet." It's a question of the seriousness and/or importance of that "skeleton." I don't know of any "skeleton" as important to the American people regarding a presidential candidate than an individual extremely close to the candidate who was raised as an advocate of jihadist terrorism, when that individual seems to have used her closeness to the candidate in the US government to further Islamic extremism.
I know of no opposing candidate who has anything comparable as a "skeleton." There is nothing for any of these GOP opponents to fear by publicly "outing" Huma Abedin - actually "re-outing" Huma Abedin - as exactly who and what what she is. And you can bet that HRC will bring up any "skeletons" the 'Rats know of against such a Republican, whether the GOP "outs" Abedin or not. No reason for Republican opponents to be blackmailed into not talking about her!
Is the GOP the party with a robust foreign policy opposing Islamic extremism or is the GOP too timid to talk about Huma Abedin and her background and ideology?
