Title: House RINO' keep announcing 2018 departures
Post by: Solar on November 09, 2017, 06:38:04 PM
I checked each one with Conservative Review.
With the exception of one Rep with a (B) ranking, three is a three (C), a couple of (D) and 8 are (F)
In other words, the RINO are bailing because they know we, TEA, is still not done purging these scum.

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia is the latest in a series of House Republicans to announce they'll retire at the end of this term. There are now 14 Republicans departing in 2018 and just one Democrat.

Outlier check: The number to watch is 23. That's the average number of retiring representatives over the last five election cycles. Over that time, there has been more attrition from Republicans than from Democrats. However, the 14-to-1 ratio of retiring Republicans to Democrats is considerable.

It's not as if we're losing anything of quality, they voted with the Dims, or rather McCON-nel, same difference.
I have a feeling some good people will come forward, with the exception of Washington State and a couple of other lib outposts.

Pretty sure this is one of Bannon's main goals / functions.  Cultivate the folks who will beat the RINO's.  In these 14 cases, he completely avoided a step, no primary to worry about.

Yep, the left is imploding worldwide and that includes the gop'E. Midterms are looking awfully sweet.
In all honesty, I don't care if Dims replace 90% of them, better than having the cancer on the right.

This is where the last two mid terms come into play. We should be spoiled for choice. Meanwhile the DNC has renamed itself the Democratic Retirement Home and Hospice.

Yeah, this is going to be a very interesting midterm, in that, roughly 18 more RINO are stepping out, and the gop'E will be hard pressed to find replacements on such short notice.
They can't go to the corral of RINO like they used to, they'll be forced to find new blood in which to fool the electorate, putting them on par with actual Conservative candidates with little to no known name recognition.

If anything, their loss gives us a level playing field.

Dim hospice is spot on, especially since the party is literally on life support with zero chance of recovery.

Basically their entire party looks like a shuffleboard tournament.

And all the players are severely autistic.
