I have not heard a single word about the down-ticket candidates that will also be running.
If Trump, Cruz or Rubio win the general election, it will be a hollow victory if candidates with solid conservative principles are not elected to the US Congress.
What say you?
For all the muck-raking about the Presidential candidates, what good will it do for the country, if a conservative Congress is not elected with them.
What is the “solidly conservative” thing you speak of?
What is this “US Congress” thing you speak of?
Look how well we did in the last two elections, when “conservatives” supposedly captured both houses. [/sarc]
The Cheap Labor Express is trying to get even with Dave Brat for disrupting the passage of Rubio’s amnesty bill by putting up a challenger.
I don’t think it’ll work.
We love Dave Brat.
It’s so nice to finally be represented by a decent man after being ignored by the weasel Eric Cantor.
CANTORIZE YOUR WEASELS, AMERICA!
Kelli Ward in AZ has solidly hooked her wagon to Trump against McLame. I think she’s having good success. There has only been one early poll, though, and she’s ahead.
Without looking, I couldn’t tell you for sure who is running on either side to replace Dan Coats in Indiana. Maybe Marlin Stutzman, IIRC.
We could do far worse than him. Boehner got him booted from his committee for bucking the leadership on continually tying Food Stamps to the Ag bill.
Also haven’t heard if anyone is challenging Susan Brooks, who hasn’t veered from the leadership on a single topic that I can think of.
Pence is going to get hit hard on the LGBT thingie by the Left. Especially now that it seems dead for this year. He also PO’d more than a few conservatives by not standing behind the original RFA
(Just the view from my neck of the cornfield)
If the nomination goes to an insider who is a supporter of amnesty then the down-ticket candidates and our country are in deep do-do because conservatives by the millions will stay home on election day. Period.
For US Senate in Colorado. State Senator Tim Neville.
We hope to send Kirk packing. There’s a good conservative by the name of Jim Marter vying for his seat. He’s got to win otherwise that dingbat Democrat Tammy Duckworth will prevail.
Trump doesn’t have a down ticket, nor will anyone else ever matter. He is for big government, government healthcare, funding Planned Parenthood, gay rights etc etc
Russ Ramsland in Tx-32
Sam Johnson for re-election in Tx-3 (votes solidly conservative)
In an effort to stop your attempt to start a flame war, I have to answer:
I don't know.....
In TX, state House Speaker Joe Strauss, a liberal Republican, has two challengers, but it is unclear if either can get any votes. Probably San Antonio Alamo Heights people will want Straus forever.
How far down ticket do you want to go? They’re about a hundred deep from across the country. That said, I like Him Gilmore better than the rest.
A recent take on NC-02 (primary opponents of Renee Ellmers, liberal Republican incumbent and reputed past girl friend of Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy):
