If you are not a vocal supporter of POTUS, we will find you out and we will extinguish your political future.
And if you bad talk him, we will get rid of you NOW.
I’m not in her district but I don’t think I would vote for Bobby Bright.
Don’t know much about her or her opponent but if she’s a Never-Trumper this is where she should be weeded out.
She is a never-Trumper who is trying to weasel out of it.
If potential ‘criters are not wanting to be a member of the Freedom caucus they should be shot down. Immediately.
“I’m not in her district but I don’t think I would vote for Bobby Bright.”
Yes, we should not be voting for RAT turncoats. This seems to be a big thing in the Southern States. It seems that being re-elected takes precedence over any sort of political philosophy. Bright could decide to “switch parties” like others have done after being elected. OTOH, we have an obligation to the President to get rid of RINOs who have openly criticized and/or dissed him. Seems like you have a “Hobson’s Choice” here. Neither of these people should be allowed to serve as a Republican.
I am in the Alabama 2nd.
I voted against her yesterday. I voted for Barry Moore.
I will now vote for Bobby Bright.
A lot of people down South were once democrats, but are now Republicans.
Bright was absolutely wrong to stay democrat as long as he did. There’s no excuse.
But he says he is a Trump fan and will strongly support Trump in Congress. I don’t think he’s lying.
Roby’s got to go.
If Bobby wins we’ll be watching him like a hawk and any miss-moves will result in someone else being elected in 2020.
Think of it as applying the constant check of the voter.
Give them a chance and when they blow it, give someone else a chance.
I wish more people would replace all the NEVERTRUMPERS in Congress. We either do so here or one wins.
Because the Republicans were once associated with the North, the Union, and imposed Reconstruction on us.
We in the South are the only Americans to face complete military defeat and occupation of our homelands.
It took a REALLY long time for all who remember and their children to die off. Even so, many grandchildren of the defeated took a defiant view politically. The last of this generation is passing or have already died.
Ronald Reagan was once a democrat, but as he said, the party left him, and that was in the 1950s.
It took another generation in the South to see that, and even so, it was a slow rollover since the 1980s.
I can't condemn politicians older than me for once being democrat, because that's almost all of them.
Bright took far too long and I never would consider voting for him but a NEVERTRUMPER is higher on the list to remove.
If Bright wins, he'll be on probation, so he needs to vote and speak wisely. Otherwise he'll be a one-termer again.
As you said a Hobson choice, but we have to make decide based on what's on the table.
Is there any good that can come out of either of these candidates? Not from Alabama, so don’t know the score.
“Roby’s got to go.”
Correct.
“but a NEVERTRUMPER is higher on the list to remove”
Bears repeating.
Getting rid of never-Trumpers should ALWAYS be the highest priority in the primary, and everything else of lower priority.
Define “neverTrumpers.” (I didn’t vote for him in my state primary.)
Bright wouldn’t have been able to win a Republican primary in 2008 against the two other GOP candidates. Roby is unpopular with the GOP base, but unless Bright intends to move way to the right, his voting record was still to her left during his single term in office as a Democrat.
I’ve met Bright. Felt like I needed to take a shower afterwards to clean off the politician slime. I voted for another guy in the primary, but he lost. So, I will hold nose and vote Bobby over that RINO Roby.
I’m up the road from ya, and I’m doing the same.
How do these idiots not know this???
The President has this AM tweeted his endorsement of Roby over her opponent, Ex-democrat Booby Bright (whom he castigates for voting for Pelosi).
I agree with him. What Roby did, freaking out over the (meow) tape, is a lesser sin than that. Bright’s sudden switch reeks of opportunism.
