We need to replace them with Conservatives. No more RINOs.

The Republicans gerrymandered this state into 13 GOP and 5 Democrat congressional districts. The state Obama beat Romney in 2012 by five percentage points. Dent’s seat will stay Republican in that scenario.

The Lehigh Valley is very conservative (outside center city Allentown) although heavily democrat.

The 5’4” midget Dent is a degenerate bisexual drag queen. He has been tilting ever more left since he first won the congressional seat in 2005. The previous person to hold the seat was Pat Toomey who is currently a Pennsylvania Senator.

The last democrat to hold the seat (Paul McHale) was far more conservative than Dent.

He knew he was going to lose the primary. His support among Republicans was way, way down. Otherwise, he would not be “retiring”.

“Will Jeff Flake soon retire to run a Junior College or open a restaurant?”

Open an animal shelter with his putrid son?

A state Rep. had just announced a primary challenge.

Close but R leaning district

2016: 51.8% Trump, 44.2% Shillery

2012: 50.8% Romney, 47.9% Obama

Good, Dent was a Cheap Labor Express Republican committed to amnesty and open borders.

We don’t want to loose the majority.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The loose majority we have isn’t doing much, so losing it might not be the worst thing.

Losing it would be the worst thing. It means we lose committee chairs that control investigations into the Clintons, among others. It also prevents impeachment.
