I had to run out this morning to do a couple of errands for TMEW and while getting some gas ($1.94/gallon for mid-range!), met up with a long time Republican activist. After chatting about this primary (we both agreed that this has been the wildest, most upside everyway one we’ve seen with Trump upending all of the regular “rules”. The Internet became a disruptive force for a number of industries; he has done it in politics like Obama did starting in 2008 (Big Data analytics for the latter, celebrity and media manipulation for the former).
That said, he is disgusted with how the NH Republican Leadership are turning themselves in the Jr. Partners of the Democrat Party and to point, Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion here in NH (and certainly not limited to that, either). He’s about to leave the Party because while it says it stands for one thing, its leadership (its elected officials in the NH House and Senate). He also mentioned Kelly Ayotte, like what I received from her (front of the mailer envelope:
Now before my “commentary”, he had said that he had received something from Kelly (about the same time I received the above) – he said he saw who it was from and just tossed it. The picture was enough.
Now, go back to the top of this post and the disgust on how NH Republicans have been legislating. Let’s just say that there were a couple of remarks that I will not repeat here. Suffice it to say that he will not be voting to return her to the Senate.
Another Republican that is seeing that keeping control of the US Senate is not important unless the Republicans there actually decide to sally forth and make a stink and do the bare knuckles fighting to move the Republican agenda forward – and not cross the aisle, be bipartisan (which is rapidly seen as a high-falutin excuse for “yet another cave-in” amongst the bae). Like with Obama’s Clean Power Plan which yet again consolidates power into DC and away from Federalism where the States are sovereign in all powers not specifically enumerated by the Constitution – yeah, just support further usurpation of the States’ power by an unelected, unassailable, and with Kelly’s blessing, unassailable Executive Branch agency.
Shouldn’t, instead, Kelly be demanding that the Executive Branch back off from impinging Congress’s territory and Constitutional responsibility? ‘Fraid not, it seems. So why is it “absolutely crucial” to keep the Senate when you are outright taking it out at the knees, Kelly? You’re doing in your own Branch.
If your past actions continue to make the Senate unimportant and irrelevant, why bother to send you back?
And no, I didn’t bother to open it either.
