Those of us who follow the tenets of conservatism know the tired, worn-out campaign catchwords and phrases well: extremist, radical, fanatic, zealot, racist, arsonist.

This is precisely why Ronald Reagan crafted his famous 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.

Elected
I defy anyone to show evidence that the GOP wants any victory for itself. either the White House, non progressive activists in the USSC, or majority in the House, the Senate
Failing that, their strange propensity for obstructing an independently passionate viable candidate seems very predictable
Still waiting for us folks in MS to be able to send Chris McDaniel to Washington to join Cruz and the other conservatives up there - I grit my teeth every time I’m reminded of what Cochran and company did...OW!!!
You and me both trebb!
Chris McDaniel PING!!!
If life were fair when Thad, retires or keels over, or is “put away” Phil would appoint Chris to take his place. IF!!!
How right you are.
