Why? He only has a few more months. Couldn’t he just announce he’s not going to run again?

Democrats are going to control the House by the time November rolls around.

ONE week notice? Even a bagger at the local supermarket gives two weeks.

Governor announces a election, probably will drag his feet so the GOP is hamstrung.

What an a-hole. Some Republicans are worse human beings than Democrats.

There’s definitely going to be more never-Trumpers resigning leading up to November so even if Trump wins in a fair election Congress is controlled by the Democrats.

Nobody cares. These people are all democrats. We’re 34 trillion in debt and climbing just on interest. Ukraine gets funded. Borders wide open

No one cares.

Buttwipe, coward. He is not a republican. He is abandoning ship because he hates Donald. A coward. Running out on his constituents and leaving them without representation until a new person gets elected.

“Democrats are going to control the House by the time November rolls around.”


I think that is the plan. It will be interesting to see where Buck lands. We will have a better idea then of what he was promised in exchange for resigning now.

Follows the pattern of 2018 when about forty republicans deserted the nation and declined to run for re-election, handing seats to Pelosi. Yeah, assistant democrats for sure.

He was elected for a job and he can’t even do that. How pathetic.

Buck, 54, announced on Facebook in March 2013 that he was battling lymphoma.
