Noticed a theme there. Hoping Bannon plans to target New York and New Jersey RINOs hard and relentlessly. Those big city A-holes need to go.
I live in a district represented by one of the House members on this list. If my representative loses to a Bannon candidate in the primary I can guarantee you that the GOP will lose the seat to any Democrat including Harvey Weinstein.
John Katko is NOT a big city Republican.
He’s represents the Syracuse/CNY area district.
Be smart about. Some of those RINOs may be the least bad we can get out of their district. The alternative may be a new speaker who thinks Pelosi was too conservative. We may be able to improve some of them, but for this kind of problem the best solution may be to increase the numbers of conservatives in other districts, thus rendering these RINOs toothless.
That’s not the way it works. It passed, and they could vote no and maybe save their positions.
I don't disagree with that sentiment, but to the extent these are/were Trump voters, we need to find ways to replace their votes.
One of the key and many times unsung elements of Trump and Deplorables, is that the coalition he put together has the potential to unite heretofore un-united individuals. Minorities of all stripes (blacks, hispanics, gays), union guys, and others used by the statists for decades suddenly seem willing to jump on the Trump Train. While many Patriots may chafe at the thought of working alongside some of these masses, I'd rather have them in my boat than these 20 losers.
Yes, Trump won the Electoral College by a wide margin yet the vote margin of victory in PA, WI, and MI were but a few hundred thousand votes. That's too close for comfort in my book. As Professor LS has been posting, Republican voter registrations are up in many key states. This is a very positive development. However, the disarray on the left is masking movements like New Democracy, a Democrat 'centrist' project that is aiming to (re)convert lapsed Democrats. Sure, they SAY the right things, like:
On immigration, for example, Democrats should stick to their guns in supporting a humane path to legalization. But we also should take seriously public concerns about the breakdown of public order and the impact of low-skill immigrants on native workers’ jobs and pay.
But THEIR TRUE INTENTION is found right below that paragraph (emphasis added):
Most important, we need to engage voters where they live and refrain from writing any off. Even in the toughest places, rural communities and small towns, Democrats should show up and make our case. Practically speaking, we don’t need to convert GOP-leaning voters en mass, just win enough on the margins to tip elections our way.
Therefore, it is vital that we keep up our efforts to bring as many into the fold as possible. This will help not just to offset Democrat advances, but the inevitable falling away of RINOs like these budget haters.
