It is Progressive vs Constitution. Label them RINOs. The DNC will vote for a dementia patient and the GOP has always been fractured like this...for a long time.


I think like last time -- majority will vote against Trump.



I don't think so. More than likely 1/3 of both democrats and republicans may not even vote.


I personally think many will come out to vote just to stop Trump.


More likely to vote Heavily against Biden and Democrats. Too much exposures and slop.


I don't think so 😀

But we will find out soon enough.

Buck is from the district that Boebert had to flee to?
This seems strategic from his side.
Will there be a special election before the regular election?
If so, does Boebert have to vacate to run there?
How does that work in Colorado?

Yep. If she wants to run in the special election she'll need to give up her current seat.

Not sure …. Maybe the dems and RINOS know
life is going to suck for them come January. This started with a lot of dem retirements.
Buck was just another one of a long disgraceful history of guys who ran as Reagan, then immediately turned into Schiff when elected.

Why are so many Republicans leaving when the majority is so slim.


It just confirms my belief that both parties are wings on the same bird. You don't make it to DC unless you can be bought, blackmailed or willing to cut a deal IMO.

He had stated he would not run again but seems he is just going to step down early.

Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, a hardline conservative who has clashed with his own party at times, announced on Tuesday that he will leave Congress at the end of next week. Buck’s decision to step down before the end of his term will trim Republicans’ slim edge to 218 seats over 213 for Democrats, with three vacancies. With that breakdown, Republicans could only afford to lose two votes to pass legislation on a party-line vote.


This guy voted against impeaching Mayorkas. He voted against removing Cheney. Has stated he was not going to back Trumps re-election run. He has flipped flopped a lot.

Why are so many Republicans leaving when the majority is so slim. The DNC has already made sure to get rid of people like Santos while others who did worse still vote. The RINOs could not even stand to finish their terms. It is disgraceful what they are doing. They are elected officials.


“Everywhere I go in Colorado, Dana, I hear that people are not happy with Trump and they’re not happy with (President Joe) Biden,” Buck said. “I am going to find the right organization to join and I’m going to start working on that issue. We have to have better candidates up and down the ballot.”


This though, as stated, makes a very slim majority for anything to vote on in the House especially with the RINOs still there.


Because they see the writing on the wall. Trump is going to win and left of center Republicans / RINOS will find themselves in a weakened position.


I really don't think extremism is going to win.

People are waking up.

Oh but it has, the D’s have had a stranglehold in places for years and always scheming to expand their ‘love’.


And you know that how?

You hang out amongst them and get their personal “word”?

Or you read propaganda?

I live amongst them, the (D)ead.

I don’t read anything, don’t know how
The only thing I can read are between the lines.

Not me! I will be voting against whoever the final DNC candidate is. I know we can't possibly outvote all the dead and illegal voters, but at least I can say I tried.

And I'm on the southern AZ border.

I'm unaffiliated -- so I go to both local meetings out of curiosity.

No way in the world I'd vote MAGA. I don't like them in person.

Sounds good to me! I'm trying to figure out a way to get all of my long dead relatives to vote so we'll have a more even playing field.

We have very long coastlines both east & west. Walls are not gonna stop the drug trade.


I never said it would, I said it helped, so did the CBP….. but more drugs, women and children being raped and sold into the sex and labor trade is no concern of yours is it?
Who cares about their life’s, right?
You’re against the wall correct?
Are you for open borders too? Can’t remember.

As a sometimes media geek for our local GOP. From what I can tell locally, the GOP is tearing itself apart. Hard to win elections without unity in the Minority party.

If the GOP keeps threatening to cut SS and Medicare....expect to be even more in the minority.

Already lost the female vote! It's almost as if the Republicans want to lose!
