Remember what we have stated about “tremors” and “twitches” that get overlooked by most media? Yeah, well…
UPDATE 11:30pm EDT Race Called ! Huelskamp Lost
(((snicker))) A July 15th Poll Release: showed U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (+9) leading Republican primary challenger Roger Marshall, 47 percent to 38 percent.
However, one of Toxic Ted Cruz’s biggest republican advocates, Tim Huelskamp (Kansas), looks like he is about to lose lost his re-election bid with a primary challenge from Roger Marshall.
Tim Huelskamp is a rabid, VERY RABID, Trump hater. He was one of the inner network republican house rep #NeverTrump antagonists, and a full-throated Ted Cruz supporter. A really nasty piece of work. – SEE HERE –
Representative Huelskamp even advertised and promoted his hatred for republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. A primary defeat tonight would portend some favorability toward the odds of a Paul Nehlen victory next week (Tuesday August 9th)....

The funny thing about this one is that the Cruzers are maintaining that Ted did not KNOW that his own campaign manager, Joe (?) Roe, was actively involved in the PAC trying to defeat Huelskamp . . . whom Cruz supported!!
Now, either Ted is stupid, or he is two-faced. This reminds me of the scene in “Braveheart” where Robert the Bruce (the Elder) says to support Wallace with his lands in the north while supporting the English with his lands in the south.
You don’t think I’m aware of the math?
What have the GOP majorities achieved to warrant being returned to their jobs?
Why do I need them there?
It’s hard to believe folks are celebrating this. Rogers is a Chamber of Commerce pro-illegal pro-TPP RINO. Folks have to start looking beyond the end of their noses. How someone stands on Trump is just a single factor to be considered.
No, he is not conservative. His campaign made clear:
1) he is not trustworthy, having broken his word to support Trump twice.
2) he is underhanded, having screwed Carson AND Rubio with similar e-mails
3) his judgment is not sound, having employed a porn star in his ads
4) his temperament is questionable, given his support for a PAC that spread semi-nude pics of Trump’s wife
5) his rationality is questionable given his hanging out with Beck and his behavior at the convention
6) his ambition is unchecked, as seen by his appearance at the “RedState” meeting later this month.
Yeah we can...IF and WHEN Cruz shows he is a Natural Born Citizen and WHEN and IF he supports the party’s representative to the office of POTUS....until then NO!!!
He’s another Barky, sealing his records, not born in America, 2nd year Senator that thinks he’s the ‘smartest man on earth’...kind of sounds like Hillary don’t you think:
‘ Smartest Woman on Earth’....
Cruz won’t EVER see the inside of the Oval Office unless of course he goes to his real party: The RATS!!!
Perhaps, but Huelskamp was a neverTrumper. Brought it on himself. Probably didn’t help that he aligned with Cruz.
I see. You’re voting for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer. Admit it: You favor handing control of Congress to the very worst Democrats. To HELL with you!
Perhaps instead of rating individuals, we should rate the conservative nature of the party, don’t you think?
Seeing how votes are whipped, and nothing ever passes that actually slows down the government agenda, why are we rating votes that don’t matter and have no consequence?
Have you ever heard of safe no votes? These are the things that let people pretend that they are conservatives.
And then some stupid website compiles the ratings of pretend conservatives as if they matter at all.
What is the conservative rating of the GOP? Let’s measure it, let’s come up with a number based on actual achievement and advancing of the conservative agenda.
I’m going to go with 0%.
How about you?
“Can we stop the Ted Cruz bashing already? “
We must NEVER stop bashing globalists like Lyin’ Ted Cruz.
Vote Trump 2016
Trump effect.
his ambition is unchecked
It is now...
“Why should we return any GOP incumbent to his or her job?”
If you return conservatives, when Trump wants to build a wall, they will vote “Yes.” When Congress votes on TPP, they will vote “No.”
If you throw conservatives out for RINO’s like Rogers, they will vote “No.” When Congress votes on TPP, they will vote “Yes.”
Similarly, if Trump holds to his promise to appoint good supreme court justices, folks like Rogers will probably not vote to invoke cloture. Conservatives will.
There’s good reason to be concerned about the composition of Congress other than “was this member loyal to Trump?” That’s banana republic stuff.
They aren’t running in my state.
I see you cannot answer my question at all.
You are like the Hillary supporters who, when asked, can’t name a single accomplishment of her entire career.
Hint: They can’t answer that question, because she has no accomplishments to name, just like the GOP.
Nothing, nada, zilch, bupkis, zero.
So why should I vote for them again, I forgot?
Oh, you think they will do that, do you?
You know what I think they will do?
I think that they will impeach him and convict him just as fast as they can, regardless of which “party” controls the congress.
“Perhaps instead of rating individuals, we should rate the conservative nature of the party, don’t you think?”
I agree. But you don’t make the party more conservative by electing Chamber of Commerce Republican globalists like Rogers. You make it much more liberal.
We’ve spent years getting rid of globalists like Lugar, Bennett etc. Now in a fit of fury, certain Republicans who should know better are stuffing the party with globalists again.
The irony is the people that installed this guy are paleo-neverTrumpers. An absolutely dreadful non-Conservative.
So now the word ‘conservative’ has morphed into, ‘undercutting the GOP nominee so as to make it more likely Hillary will win,’?
You want to get rid of bad leaders like Ryan and McConnell, fine. Good idea. But that's not what you're saying. You're saying "re-elect NO Republicans to Congress". Like it or not, whether you have the guts or the intellectual honesty to admit it or not, YOU'RE SUPPORTING PELOSI AND SCHUMER. That's as bad as supporting Hildebeeste. Are you trying to sabotage Trump???
When was McShame EVER a conservative????
