28 thoughts on “Your Vote”

    2. While I agree with you in principle I would, at the risk of loosing the senate, consider voting against Mitch McConnell.

      1. There are certainly Republicans that I don’t like, but I know of none that are truly worse than the Democrats who would replace them.

  2. I wonder how much the Democrat tolerance is due to the fact that down towns are mostly deserted. They might be more concerned if the normal number of people were having to walk past all the plywood and destruction every day.

    I predict that we’ll see pictures of the same sort of damage on Lake Charles a lot more often than from Minneapolis. The hurricane will be Trump’s fault of course.

  3. … and don’t mail your ballot in, deliver it in person to a reliable ballot box. On election day. And don’t ignore pollsters, tell them you’re voting Dem across the ticket.

  4. “Voting for incumbents at the local levels in urban Democratic strongholds is one of the reasons we are now where we are, with local Democratic Party political leaders endorsing rioting and violence while calling for the shuttering of police departments, even as they simultaneously call for strict gun control laws that will disarm all ordinary law-abiding citizens.”

    Yes. Which is why for the 1st time in my life I am (very) considering voting Republican across the board not just for Trump.

    “Should Trump and the Republicans win nationwide in November, and then fail to bring major sweeping changes in Washington and elsewhere in the next four years, then maybe after a crushing defeat in 2020, a renewed Democratic Party in 2024 will give Americans a new option, and should then, and only under those conditions, be given a second chance.”

    Better option. The primaries are an underutilized tool for making change. Vote out the Republican incumbents at the primary level, replace them with new faces and watch the jaws drop; that will send a message.

    1. I’d like to see Republicans get on the same page at local and state levels. Doesn’t do Republicans any good to get elected and then fail because they don’t understand how they got elected or what a compelling alternative looks like.

    2. I live in Virginia, which has gone from red to blue due to a number of recent, easily identifiable demographic shifts (one was the deliberate relocation of illegal aliens and Muslim “immigrants” here by the Obama administration). The Republican party has pretty much abandoned the state, leaving 26 state legislative seats with no Republican candidate in the mid-terms. The Republican National Committee doesn’t appear to know that the state exists.

      It’s difficult to vote for Republicans all the way up and down the government hierarchy when they don’t have anyone running.

      1. “It’s difficult to vote for Republicans all the way up and down the government hierarchy when they don’t have anyone running.”

        Wish I could offer some kind of useful advice to you but..I basically got nothing, sorry. If the only other national party (Republicans) in your state have basically thrown in the towel to the corrupt Dems you are screwed. Consider moving maybe?

      2. The Republican National Committee doesn’t appear to know that the state exists.

        Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick represents this mindset. He looks at the static numbers, believes the polls, and decides that district is not winnable and thus would be a waste of campaign expenses to flip. In short, he’s a zero-sum’er. He’s better than any Democrat, but his leadership at the top tends to create a losing culture. (oh, Texas moved deep red while Patrick ascended through the Senate into the Lt. Gov spot, but he was more the recipient of it than the leader).

        This is another reason Trump was appealing to GOP voters. He wanted to win everywhere, and he made an effort to do so. He saw expansion.

    1. We had both houses for two years. The Republicans are as good as the Democrats at sitting on their hands, maybe better. We don’t elect the wrong party, we elect the wrong people.

        1. Certainly yes, but they don’t call the Republicans the stupid party for nothing. You’ll remember the next time Romney opens his pie hole.

      2. Yes well back then Paul Ryan was Speaker. A do-nothing RINO. Before that Ryan talked the talk but when he became speaker he didn’t walk the walk.

        Perhaps this time we might get a Jim Jordan as speaker. OR one of the others. Stefanik might be a good choice…I’d have to look at her voting record.,

      3. Or Steve Scalise.

        Another thing to remember about the two years the GOP had the House was that Trump had just become President. He had not yet taught the GOP that you CAN fight back and that you can be successful and get voted back in if your not a cringing coward to the Dems.

        Since then, a lot (not all) of the GOP has been educated.

  6. With no hyperbole, electing Biden/Harris will mean the end of the United of States of America – we survive one maybe two years after election night. Of course, for many that outcome is a feature not a bug. Within a year, Biden will capitulate to enemies domestic and foreign, and the US will be divided among China, Russia, the EU, the MUSLIM CABAL, and the radical left ecosocialists.

  7. Something to cheer us up:

    “Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore offered a dire warning to Democrats after the conclusion of the Republican Convention, telling the “Resistance” that the level of voter excitement for President Trump far exceeds that for Democratic nominee Joe Biden.”

    “Sorry to have to provide the reality check again, but when CNN polled registered voters in August in just the swing states, Biden and Trump were in a virtual tie. In Minnesota, it’s 47-47. In Michigan, where Biden had a big lead, Trump has closed the gap to 4 points,” Moore began a Facebook post on Friday.

    “Are you ready for a Trump victory? Are you mentally prepared to be outsmarted by Trump again? Do you find comfort in your certainty that there is no way Trump can win? Are you content with the trust you’ve placed in the DNC to pull this off?”

    Remember it was Michael Moore (who hates Trump) who called the 2016 election for Trump months before election day. He along with Scott Adams were about the only ones who saw it coming.

    1. The Democrats becoming too crazy for Michael Moore is one of my favorite subplots of 2020. Not so long ago he got lucrative contracts and a seat next to Jimmy Carter at the convention.

  8. It bothers that Rand, Bob, and others here were so quick to denounce the French police for using semi-automatic weapons during the yellow vest riots and looting but yet praise Trump and the police’s response to the US riots over the past two months.

    So from the perspective of Rand circa January 2019 is the mistake the current US looters are making is not having their own semi-automatic rifles.

  9. The left is now all but admitting that Trump will win in a landslide – on election night.

    But the “Red Mirage” Plan will kick in and they will find all sorts of mail in votes. They will sow discord. The main objective is to steal the election via mail in voting. This is why there’s all the battlespace prep of “The 82nd airborne will have to forcibly remove Trump from office).

    Failing that they will try to throw so much shade on the Trump victory that they can scream the election is illegitimate (they have done that for 4 years with far less evidence), in the hopes of hobbling his agenda.

    On top of which they are hoping for mass rioting and forcing Trump to send out the troops which will then incur more mass rioting.

    They would burn the country down just to protect their rice bowls.
