Yes but the GOP has become complacent AGAIN!!!
It was Trump, PERSONALLY, who gave us the wins in 2016. The GOP’s “you like us, we like you” namby-pamby lazy why-work-when-we-don’t-have-to approach is a LOSER. They are so afraid to take a stand they won’t even work on their BASE!
Here in Texas we have a perfect example. This new flavor of the week beto o’rourke is challenging Ted Cruz for Senate.
beto is really generating excitement (admittedly with complete complicity of the lsm). He is stumping, speechifying and saying all the right things to at least his base and is also coming across as a bit more centrist. The important thing is he is OUT THERE.
Cruz is sitting hunkered down and has been all but invisible. It is bad enough he is getting a reputation as being absent, insular and impossible to reach — his office doesn’t answer the phone, emails get form emails in return and he is absent for many votes.
But there is no EXCITEMENT there, like there was when he won the office back in 2012 and was running against name-recognition Dewhurst.
Where is that grass-roots bang the trash cans effort now?
Not just Cruz but the GOP in general?
President Trump has been holding rallies across the country to keep the base engaged.
Where te HELL is the GOP?
There is a lot at stake here and none of them seem to care.
I will be unsurprised if TCruz is dethroned on November 6. Why isn’t he out campaigning: too hot, I guess?
“Where te HELL is the GOP?”
My GOP Congresscritter is the same. She won’t do town halls, not because she is afraid of Democrat hecklers, she doesn’t want to answer questions from conservatives who are angry with the do nothing GOP Congress. All public appearances are carefully orchestrated and receive no local press. Her weekly newsletters are all boilerplate middle of the road patronizing propaganda. Since she faced no primary opposition, she’s expecting us all to vote for her in order to keep the socialist Democrats from taking over the House. Once she’s reelected she’ll go back to serving the big money donors.
Cruz has the Hillary disease on the campaign trail for good reason, like her, the more you see him and hear him speak, the less you like him. Happened to me in 2016, I came into it excited and expecting to support Cruz. I came out of it disgusted with him, verging upon hating him.
You are so right, freedumb2003. The GOP is sleeping.
