| GOP Leader McCarthy Says Dems Have 'Surrendered to Socialists,' Predicts Republican House Takeover |
| 2020-02-29 |
| [PJ] Republican Leader in the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy is almost giddy over Republican prospects to retake the House of Representatives in November. With Bernie Sanders leading the ticket, McCarthy predicts a Republican sweep. He says the Democrats have "surrendered to socialists." Fox News: In an interview with Fox News on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside Washington, McCarthy weighed in on the warnings from within the Democratic Party that a Sanders nomination could endanger their hold on the House under Nancy Pelosi. McCarthy would be in line for the speakership should the chamber flip ‐ and he eagerly played up those internal party tensions. "With AOC, [Rep. Rashida] Tlaib, [Ilan] Omar ‐ they don’t call themselves Democrats," he continued. "They call themselves socialist Democrats." True enough. But many lo- information voters might not have a clue what voting for Sanders and the Democrats really means. If the CPAC conference is a preview of November, you'd have to be living under a rock to be unaware of the danger to the republic if Sanders were to win the presidency. |

| #9 What an idiot. And even assuming this happens, what will the GOP even do with a majority anyway? Obviously, I don't want Pelosi and Schumer to have majorities, but I'm bored with the "the leftward ratchet has temporarily been stopped. Yippee! Welp, there it goes again." game. And speaking of McCarthy, does anyone else find it grotesque that the leader of the House GOP is from a state where the GOP is pretty much shut out everywhere? Yeah, I know, Muh Seniority and Muh Fundraising. I really want the GOP beholden to Big Tech and Hollywood. What could possibly go wrong? Too bad no one in the GOP can take a hint from Jesse Unruh's attitude toward lobbyists: "If you can't eat their food, drink their booze, screw their women and then vote against them you've got no business being up here." |

| #8 That is why the well is so poisoned now that neither side will accept the outcome in November. The commies didn't 4 years ago and won't again even if it is a landslide. The right understands all the cheating and undermining to get power at any price by the commies and won't accept the 'irregularities'. |

| #7 THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT HILLARY Don't get cocky, people. It's going to take a ton of hard work to re-elect Trump. The Dems are going to play dirty every step of the way. Voter fraud, illegal alien voting, all of it. They consider the stakes too high for ordinary democratic norms to apply. |

| #1 Assuming Trump is re-elected and the Pubs retake the house and hold the senate, we will be in for 4 years of "America is no longer governable" and "democracy is broken" stories. |
