Not true. I’ve noted that Huelskamp opposed the GOP nominee even AFTER Trump secured sufficient delegates to secure the nomination. Undermining your own party’s nominee benefits the other party’s nominee.

Voters took note, and took action. Otherwise, Huelskamp would have lost iin ‘14. It’s all painfully obvious.

Not because of Huelskamp. This crap snowballed under Dubya. Huelskamp didn’t arrive in DC until January 2011.

Your FReeper name fits, as your analysis is pure fantasy and not one iota of criticism has been directed at the left-wing victor in this race, Marshall. Why is that ?

I asked for links and articles showing Huelskamp has endorsed Hillary and is working for her election, could you provide those please ?

American Conservative Union ratings on legislative votes of the Kansas Congressional Delegation:

Huelskamp at 94.40% lifetime conservative voting record.

Seems to me that he has been given plenty of time to make some difference.

He didn’t.

So what?

What is the conservative vote rating of the GOP?

Rating individual voting records of these people is as futile and pointless as saying that The Saints are a good team, because they have Drew Brees.

The fact of the matter is The Saints are a pitiful team, because they cannot achieve victory as a team on any sort of regular basis.

And the GOP is even worse as a team, because they never achieve victory. In fact, then plan defeats and call those victories.

How many times must I repeat the simple facts? Please read my post this time; I can’t reiterate the same facts indefinitely.

Attempts were made to defeat Huelskamp in ‘14 and ‘16. Failed in ‘14; succeeded in ‘16.

What was the biggest, most obvious difference in the two cycles?

In ‘14 Huelskamp could simply run on the record of his votes. In ‘16 there was the additional record of Huelskamp publicly undercutting the GOP candidate AFTER he had won enough delegates to secure the nomination. Those actions could only benefit the other party’s nominee.

Please stop changing the subject. The facts are simple and speak for themselves. Huelskamp should have become publicly neverHillary as soon as Trump secured the necessary number of delegates to win the nomination. It’s his own fault that he didn’t.

That’s a standard no one could meet these days, unless you expected him to lead an armed revolution.

Because your facts aren’t simple, neither are they facts.

Where are those links and articles that Huelskamp is working for Hillary and has endosed her ? I’m waiting.

I have always found that the BEST way to assess a politician is by how they actually vote on the issues and not on their rhetoric.

The GOP as a whole doesn’t vote on legislative issues, only individual members of the party do that.

The voters perceived clearly a FACT that leaves you mystified. Namely, if you undermine your own party’s nominee, it benefits the other party’s nominee.

Think about it.

Measuring how an individual politician votes is futile, because votes are whipped and safe no-votes are allowed.

None of the no votes within the GOP ever result in X not occurring or being defeated or anything along those lines.

Those no votes are always a bunch of folks who need to appear conservative to their individual bases, but in the end NO CONSERVATIVE AGENDA ITEM EVER becomes law.

The GOP is utterly ineffective in advancing conservatism, and quite frankly, they are just pretending.

Chris, NG admitted he’s here to demoralize conservatives. If you have hours to burn uselessly, engage with him. Otherwise, ignore.
