Joe Walsh: GOP is a 'cult' and Trump a 'would-be dictator' | |
2019-09-17 | |
"I’ve given up on the Republican Party, the Republican Party is a cult, right. They no longer stand for ideals. The Republican Party right now is all about washing their leaders' feet every day, that’s what they do," Walsh said Monday on CNN. "We’re going to take our campaign directly to Republican voters ‐ and I’ll add in all 50 states. We’re gonna campaign in all 50 states, we’re gonna campaign in South Carolina, Arizona, Nevada and Kansas, because I believe if we let these Republican voters know that the president of the United States just took away their right to vote they’ll march on the headquarters of their state parties to get that right to vote back," he said. State party officials have said the canceled primaries in several states including South Carolina and Arizona are an effort to save costs and use that money for other races. State parties of the same political party as the incumbent president have canceled nominating processes in the past. Walsh, though, said the canceled primaries are different this time "because it's never been done when there's been primary challengers."

#5 This does seem as if it would have been a good time for the GOP to get a bunch of candidates to run as sane Democrats. Not in the Presidential race but most other races. If any get traction its a huge win. Use the Democrat tactics against them, and I'm pretty sure this is a well worn Democrat tactic. |

#1 A some time a wise man would have to look in the mirror and wonder if perhaps its them. Perhaps they simply aren't seeing something that everyone else is and talk to someone instead of pissing and raging at the wind. |
