Because of the Founding Fathers’ design of the “Electoral College” and how they intended it to work, multiple parties will not work, as long as that Electoral College is still in play.
Of course - that also may be the reason many are currently - today - trying to DESTROY the Founding Fathers’ system and working of the “Electoral College”.
I live in NC, and I have no intention of voting for Thom Tillis in November - and this is specifically because of what the GOPe did (and continues to do) in Mississippi.
The arrogant, smarmy attitude you exhibit is distasteful at best.
You were probably an Alan Keyes supporter for president, in which, during that unfortunate candidacy would go ballistic at someone pointing out the truth.
Din Maker: my apologies on behalf of Tellw, who believes he is superior to you because he has been registered here longer than you. Thanks for posting the information and you are only a messenger. God forbid that we should be aware of what is going on. Perhaps we should just pretend all republican candidates are up by 30 points - then tellw would have sent you a swell message instead.
tellw: smarmy loser since Mar 6, 1998.
Keep in mind that Shelly Capito picking up the WV seat isn't exactly a "win," either. IIRC, she's just another RINO, pro-abortion money-grub.
The GOP-E wants Reid as Majority Leader. Simple as that.
That would make things a lot easier for the GOPe. At least then they could claim they had no choice but to go along with the RATs since they are in charge.
If the GOPe won, they still wouldn’t be able to stand up to Obama and Reid and Pelosi etc anyway. So “what difference, at this point, does it make?”
This is the doing of MSM!!! You people don’t get the power of the MSM and the Low Information voter. That’s our crisis, not so much the GOP.
No one Is paying attention yet. It is all name recognition. Check back in October. Thank you.
Makes sense and explains why they are dumping on their own base.
My the trolls ARE touchy this evening, aren’t they?
Nice RCP regurgitation. Really great sleuthing of the “Internets” to find that information for everyone. And your vanity post...wow!
Ronald Reagan was GOPe. 11th Commandment all the way.
Oh yeah, by all means I want to tie myself to a duplicate of any ordinary dem ass and find the party floating down stream into the cess pool of politics. No longer the ‘battered woman’ The GOP has had papers filed. They get the children and I, the car, the house and the business. Hailey in Mississippi was the last straw. They hit just once too often. How on earth do you win elections with such tactics?
Not much of a choice between Marxist and Marxist Lite.
Yeah, Shelley is not the ideal candidate, but she was the only hope we had for a GOP Senate seat. She is not so much an elite, but she is a moderate. We (tea party) believe we can influence her. I know her and she is accessible.
That may work for presidents—but what about the other elections?
Very observation. I think you just might be right.
