Fed up with Trump, a GOP women's PAC is backing Dems in two key Michigan races (Super Barf Alert)
Detroit Metro Times ^ | Oct 17, 2018 | Violet Ikonomova

A political action committee run by Republican women opposed to Donald Trump is getting involved in Michigan's most competitive Congressional races — and supporting the Democrat candidates.

Republican Women for Progress PAC tells Metro Times it has taken out $50,000 television ad buys in Michigan's 11th and 8th Congressional District races. Both races feature a moderate Democrat against a Trump-aligned Republican. In MI-11, Democrat Haley Stevens is up against Republican Lena Epstein, the former Michigan chair for the Trump campaign. In MI-08, Elissa Slotkin is trying to unseat incumbent Rep. Mike Bishop.

Well if they have the word “Progress” in their name sounds like a Dem outfit to me.

I wonder if any donors can get them for fraud.

A tactic of the Left is to clothe the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The first question that sprang to mind was “where are the husbands of these women?” I suspect a photo of the women’s group would reveal that I was begging the question, i.e. these women have no husbands because no man in his right mind would have anything to do with them. Or that they keep their man’s gonads in a soft silk bag in their purse...

Funded solely by Democrat donor Reid Hoffman. Same group led Republican women for Hillary 2016

From comments on the original article:

The Republican Women for Progress PAC has one donor — a democrat man.

I smell a “progressive” bunch of leftist rats in this group.

I’m a Jewish conservative, pro-female kind of guy, so I’m interested in why they support a Democrat Jewish liberal female in one race and want to defeat a Jewish conservative woman in the other?

This is more than just about Trump.

I did a search, and read a little bit about them, which was about all I could stand. They sound like a bunch of rats 🐀 to me too.

True. It’s like J-Street, the Soros backed group that might as well be called “Jews for the destruction of Israel”!

Article is a tad misleading.

How can you be fed up with someone if you’ve never supported them in the first place?

This bogus group was founded by the same political operatives who founded Republicans for Hillary.

It’s a front organization like the communist set up to hide their activities. This is a progressive political group that might have members who at one time said they were Republican. It is an old trick,
