(I posted this on other threads, but I think it’s worth repeating, so people understand the true significance of this morning)
For those that (understandably) think that we will manage to snag defeat from the jaws of victory, keep in mind why Scarface HAD to drop out...and that was because the NY and National Republicans (i.e., the ones who anointed her) could not allow her to finish a distant 3rd place in a contested race.
By Hoffman catching up and overtaking, and with the national Republicans (with some idiot exceptions) taking Hoffman’s side, this became MUCH bigger problem than a measly Congressional seat in New York. Instead the Northeast Republicans (if not also the national party) were staring a COUP in the face and were on the brink of losing complete control of the party, and having it taken over by CONSERVATIVES (i.e., Hoffman, if no one else - but Sarah too).
Put another way, if their anointed candidate gets whipped by an Independent, then any claim they have to represent the rank and file Republicans is invalid.
Definitely pressure was put on Dede Scozzafava by Republican elders. But I give her credit for dropping out. She remains in the NY state legislature where she can do her lefty liberal lezbo thing I could care less
Let the chips fall where they may
Their candidate has already been defeated by an independent, by dropping out she conceded defeat. It is too late for the RINO POS to save it now.
Bob, their anointed candidate already got whipped.
I recommend telling the RNC they’ve lost our confidence in every reply envelope they send asking for money.
I send a nice message back in their pre-paid envelopes telling them how disappointed I am in their choices, their inability to control RINOs, and their lack of direct communication with the American people. They have just become part of the same ol’ insider machine. I close my note with the statement that I’m only sending money to conservative individual candidates this year.
It’s very satisfying.
