Six Establishment Republicans Face Three Threats: Redistricting, Democrats, Trump
Political-viewer ^ | 3/16/21

Former President Trump’s strategy to further the “American First” agenda has included taking meetings, making endorsements, and raising mazuma. Intensifying “Trump’s” effort are state redistricting measures, where six of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump are in peril of a redrawn district, hence in further peril of losing their seat in 2022.

Indeed, six moderate Republicans face a three-pronged threat: A primary challenge from a candidate endorsed and potentially funded by Trump, a district reengineering process, and a general Election challenge in a reshaped district that may benefit the Democrat opponent.

The list of the six Republicans facing redistricting includes: Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH) Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) Rep. John Katko (R-NY) Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) Rep. David Valadao (R-CA)

Jason Miller, Trump’s political adviser, told Bloomberg, “Quite frankly, between their newfound unpopularity with Republican primary voters and predicated on what could transpire with redistricting, I cerebrate a sizably voluminous number of these House members will be coerced into retirement or probing for another job,” he verbally expressed.

Isn't it funny how every two years it's ALWAYS the moderate, democrat-helping, reach-across-the-aisle type republicans who are in danger.

Yet it's these same types that we are told are the only ones "who can win"!

I thought Xiden’s handlers were slow-walking the census because far more Democrats would lose seats in redistricting.

They need not troupe their little heads with concerns about redistricting or about the Democrats. They won’t survive the primaries.

Never heard the word “mazuma” before. It mean money or cash. Seems like a word I would have heard about a long time ago.

One of Beijing Joe's first edicts was ordering the census bureau to add illegals to the apportionment counts. It probably takes a while to calculate the right number and distribution of illegals that maximizes the number of Democrat districts and EVs.

Must be closer to 40 million illegal aliens then. Not the 11 they claim.

Notice the language - “threat”. LOL.

It took me a LONG time to figure out that it is better to vote for a Democrat than a RINO.

...he verbally expressed.

He said? I guess "he said" in old school!

Yeah, that's what I got out of this article

It actually makes sense, when you think about it. In most cases these GOP reps are in districts dominated by Democrat voters.

That is not a contradiction.

In red states that turn blue, the cause is the elimination of liberal Republicans by primary voters.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I believe that until the GOP is destroyed, root and branch, and replaced by a nationalist party that has something to offer 35%-40% of current Democrat voters that this process will continue.

But your "moderate, democrat-helping republicans" got where they are by being what they are, and when you get rid of them, you get a communist.

Suppose Susan Collins had been defeated in a primary last year, for example. Who do you think would be the Senator from Maine today?

There is not a thing or a person on this planet that could convince me to ever vote for a Dem after all the insane, oppressive, and immoral crap they’ve pulled over the past year and especially the past few months. It would be like selling my soul and trashing all my values.

If enough R’s stay home then it accomplishes the same thing without the selling out and aiding those who want us totally crushed and gone. I don’t even think we’ll have to do that with the traitorous 10 in the House, though, as they are going to be primaried. Trump and his supporters are not going to let this slide.

Traitors have to be replaced with constitutionalists.
