What about idea of conservatism is too far right?

Which part? Lol. Wow. I’ve never seen anyone on FR told they are too far right.

Comical!

Last week I was called a leftist. Hahaha!

I think you and I are on to something. Maybe not everyone has caught on.

Now Trump voters are INDEPENDENTLY deciding to effect change in down-ballot races.

I really want to take a look at stats from this race. I wonder how many of these voters are not "likely voters."

I bet many, many are, since the polls were so decidedly wrong. Butts are puckering all over DC right now, on both sides of the aisle.

In what ways, specifically, has Ryan been an improvement over Boehner?

You think ONE PERSON can do all that?

Explain.

Huelskamp was ONE in over 400.

LOL. Wish after all this time I was good at posting images and I’d do a Minion.
Find you "Minion" on the internet.

Right click on the image, click "properties". Copy the address/URL. Go to FR reply box, type < img src=""> just like you see it here except, put the address you copied between the "" marks.

It will look like this: (only with a space between img src):< img src="http://www.designbolts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/DESPICABLE-ME-2-Tim-Minion-wallpaper.jpg" >

My “how would you spin it” question was in reference to what your response might be to the fact the COC endorsed and spent thousands on MARSHALL! (see link in my last post)

Seems your plan is to ignore that because it seriously clashes with your contention that this was the better outcome. That’s cool. Good night.

SPOT ON !

The supposed "real Conservatives" haven't done a damned thing and Paul Ryan is part of the Cruzer's FREEDOM CAUCUS!

But obviously Huelskamps was not intelligent enough to understand the Trump movement of AMERICA FIRST nationalism. He now joins the 16 other professional career politicians in the Titanic ship.

Celebrate the loss if you will (obviously you're not from Kansas) but we in KS lost a true conservative to a fake conservative who was supported by millions from the DC Open Borders fans, who also pretends he's for Trump!

Was the candidate who lost NeverTrump at some point? If he was, that probably sealed his fate.

Wasn't he an incumbent?

Vote Trump!

Yep, they are celebrating one of the most conservative people in the House losing based on one interview back in May rather than all the things Huelskamp where Huelskamp has done all he could to block big government.

No sense arguing any more, I’m going to bed. It’s like banging your head on a brick wall. I just keep remembering Marshall saying Huelskamp was a troublemaker and wouldn’t go along and that he would be a peacemaker and “go along” with what the majority decided. LOL, poor guy, can’t win for losing. He did what Kansas sent him up there to do so he can only go home with a good conscience.

Why Cruz was not campaigning for him, Cruz left him at the altar.

He hasn’t been really. And if Ryan loses, the next guy won’t be better either.

But what the hell does that have to do with anything?

Ryan's district went Trump in the primary, so it is possible.

False.

Trump was trounced in Ryan's district. Trump did win in Ryan's county, but the majority of Rock County is in the far-left 2nd Congressional District.

Nehlen is a scamPAC candidate. According to the latest FEC reports, 98% of his campaign donations are from out-of-state contributors. Nehlen's campaign is designed to fleece out-of-state Trump backers. 90% of Nehlen's campaign dollars will end up in the pockets of Nehlen's Virginia-based campaign manager as salary and/or service fees to "outside" consultants.

Trump is despised in Wisconsin. Ryan will win +35%.

I am talking about the whole group of Tea Party and social conservatives we busted our backs to get elected. They have achieved absolutely nothing conservative in any significant way.

I already read that quote. After all his anti-Trump activism, it was pretty weak tea.

The problem is that Drewsmom is a prig and was a VERY loud mouthed CRUZER. She HATES Trump more than Hillary does. Ditto for his supporters.

The damned GOPers in both Houses did NOTHING but cave to Obama.
