People giving up? A pol doesn’t want to stick his neck out and face retribution. That doesn’t happen individually to voters.

The vote will be by secret ballot.

I like what Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Vanceburg said.

He said, “...Raul Labrador has a David Brat chance of winning,”

If the RINO pre-chosen one can be defeated, it’s a huge psychological victory.

hehe

There are no secrets in a House caucus. Labrador will be lucky to get around 30 votes. House members are much more likely to back McCarthy and lie about it rather than back Labrador and lie about that.

We need someone like Pete Sessions to be more than a symbolic candidate.

True. But Labrador is more dangerous because Hispanic and will be put on pedestal by some clueless conservatives.
