You got that right.
The specific “FRiend” of Impy’s I’m talking about (I won’t name) lives a state directly south of me.
Last year the “FRiend” was babbling incessantly about “backing” some complete no name RAT candidate in the RAT primary (to fill Ed Markey’s seat, as he was elected Senator) as part of some grand strategy.
I live in the district (for nearly 20 years now) and the RAT candidate for ANY office is going to win ANY election in these parts for the next ‘x’ decades, period. The GOP could nominate Moses and he’d lose. Yet, this Lee Atwater-wannabe insisted that “backing” this unknown RAT candidate was good.
Said candidate finished either last or 5th out of 6th candidates. IIRC, a box of fabric softener received more votes than this “backable” candidate did.
Pathetic.
Now now, I’m certain the gentleman in question would not back the rat running against Cantor, he doesn’t oppose 90% conservative Republicans like the rocket scientists we have shilling for McConnell’s opponent.
It’s only safe rat districts where he backs democrats that appear to be “moderate” or “normal Americans” in comparison to the others, even when they have little to no chance (in the case of your district, poor as it was the Republican had a much better chance at winning the general election than his guy did of winning the rat primary)
I agree that’s a waste of time, long odds for very little “payoff”. Speaking broadly, any effort to moderate the rat party is doomed to spectacular failure. If you’re gonna tilt at windmills, I say do it for conservative Republican candidates.
