One of those kinds of pride is not treated like the others.
Their consistency is in who and what they want to destroy.
Troll? You a$$hole. I have been a strong Trump supporter since the day he descended down the elevator in Trump Tower to declare his candidacy. I volunteered on his primary and general election campaigns and donated money. I have unwavering support of Trump to this very minute.
The upcoming midterms won't be a referendum on Trump, but rather a do-nothing Congress that has accomplished nada. The GOP-controlled Congress has failed to give Trump one legislative victory.
They failed to repeal and replace Obamacare. We will see what happens with tax reform, infrastructure, building the Wall, and other Trump agenda items that require Congressional approval. So far, the GOP-controlled Congress has failed to demonstrate that they can govern. They can't reach a consensus on anything except they dislike Trump.
How enthusiastic will Rep and independent voters be to reelect a do-nothing Congress? Why should they turnout for a Congress that fails to defend the President from his enemies and many of them are joining with the Dems to criticize Trump openly? The silence is deafening when it comes to standing up for the President and his agenda. How many of these bastards will be primaried? They need strong opponents in the primary and that is just not happening with a few exceptions.
The #NeverTrumpers are in high gear after Charlottesville. They smell blood in the water. Rubio, McConnell, Graham, McCain, Ryan, Kasich, the Bushes, et. al. have openly gone after Trump. Who in the Senate and the House is defending Trump on this issue?
Nehlen was and is a lousy candidate. He will never take down Ryan. And the GOP caucus begged Ryan to be Speaker and approved him twice. Ryan still has high approval ratings in a fairly liberal district. The best we can hope for Ryan is that he be removed as Speaker.
First, the GOP is not 5-0 in special elections. Here is a rundown of special and other elections and the calendar for 2017.
The GOP held on to its seats in KS, GA, MT, and SC. The Dems held on to its seat in CA. The GOP turnout was lower than it should be. It will be interesting to see what happens in the Gov races in NJ and VA. IMO the Dems will win both races in what are now solid blue states when it comes to statewide elections.
The Dems will be more energized thant the Reps. The MSM will help fuel it along with the mobs led by Antifa and BLM. With very few exceptions, the party in power in the WH loses seats in the subsequent midterms. The only question is how many. The advantages of gerrymandering should still give the Reps control of the House, but they will lose seats. In the Senate, the Dems have far more seats at risk than the Reps. The question is can the Reps overcome the advantages of incumbency and will they have strong candidates to run against Tester, Mancin, McCaskill, Donnelly, Brown, and Heitkamp who are the most vulnerable. Flake and Heller are the two most vulnerable Reps both in the primary and general election. And even if they are replaced in the primary, these will be difficult states to hold on to.
And there are the unkowns. A lot can happen between now and November 2018. Events and unforeseen issues could be major factors.
You would think they would be just a teeny bit concerned they just might become (and have been) victims themselves. I have never heard of a radical Islamic asking if someone is liberal or conservative- Republican or Democrat before beheading them.
Hadn't thought of that...unfortunately, very prophetic.
"They’ll keep ramping it up until they’re stopped."
Zero doubt about that.
Until something better comes along, I’m pretty literal about the Bible.
Thank you. I’ll give that a listen tomorrow...
The way these people are acting, you would think the Confederacy won the first Civil War.
They may believe that being a part of a coalition will protect them.
The Congress is banking on the "where else are they going to go" and as part of the Uniparty, that "if they elect Democrats, we'll be out of power but we can make even more as lobbyists, and in the meantime we're rid of Trump."
Problem is, with the mood ratcheted up to 11 like it is, if Trump loses and there is the merest *hint* of cheating...the gasoline hits the fire.
And if there is any kind of physical attack -- instant Civil War.
If you stand back and look over how this is scripted out....it’s only a matter of a couple of weeks where some massive fight occurs in some high school over the statue issue, and the school has to shut down for three days while tempers cool off.
The same will occur at a university, where the university cops admit they don’t have the numbers to protect people.
All of this...leads onto chaos, localized fighting, and a demonstration that police cannot maintain order. You can figure it’s going to this level within the next 100 days. Kids are going back to school....university students back to college.
What they see on TV....will simply translate into violence in the classroom, and the general public will be unable to contain what is about to erupt.
They’re just erasing all the evidence for the on going reparations law suit ...... :o)
But damn if I “didn’t” see any news on russian influence in the 2016 election !
For the lost, nothing will ever wake them up unless the Lord from above opens their eyes.
The next few months (if that) shall be very interesting!
Were it not for the flea-infested welfare recipients, these clowns would never get elected.
Well, this could get interesting...
I should have put off My Texas trip a few weeks.
Ok all you “Don’t Mess with Texas” boys, what you gonna do?
You all better wake the hell up if you think LE is gonna do a damn thing but stand back and watch them do it.
The citizens of Texas better be ready to stop it.
Or are we going to have to hear more of the “I’d like to see them try that here” tripe.
Don't touch the monuments/statues. Friendly advice.
could get real sporty before it's done
