Another Jeb with low energy. Begged me to endorse him, which I refused. Quitter!
Another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust.
And another one gone, another one gone
Another one bites the dust.
His district is R +16 even though it’s a majority minority district. There’s just no excuse why this isn’t a Dem seat.
In the statement, Hensarling said he would continuing working on “housing finance reform, regulatory relief, cyber security and capital formation” and “especially pro-growth tax reform” during his last 14 months in Congress.
Translation: I’m going screw over the middle and lower class to give massive tax cuts to rich people, then retire so I don’t have to answer to the people.
That statement was the equivalent of “it’s an honor to just be nominated” Nobody in the country believes you. But since you were a jerk while in office, so long jackass!
Notably, this is not a case of a “moderate” or even moderately sane Republican jumping ship. Even the nuts are running away from the tree.
perhaps we can interpret his “retirement” to not wanting to be embarrassed by losing to a dem in a R +16 seat in 2018 (gawd I am way too hopeful, bound to be disappointed yet again)
A great loss to the forces of reaction. Oh, and the bankers.
Two numbers, friend, two numbers: 49, & 8
Those are the loses that the Republicans suffered in the House and the Senate, respectively, after the Watergate Hearings. Admittedly, back in those days there was no FAUX News “Fair and Balanced” reporting, but, still, I suspect this Drumphster Fire will have an impact on the political makeup of the Legislature in the next several years.

There is nothing on the other side of the aisle moderate Dems. Stop the Kumbaya shit. Say the words…“The GOP has betrayed the country”. Say it and say it loud.

Trump: Sux to be a liberal. I am draining the swamp. Keeping my campaign promise.
Let’s turn this rhythm into a nutjob Repub tsunami! Go, team!!
Another zero taken out of the equation.
Now let’s see if the people of his district have the common sense to elect someone who isn’t a zero.
That’s the problem with Congress in general. Everyone thinks their Representative is OK, and it’s the other 434 jerks that are messing things up.
The truth is that “your” Representative is just as much of a jerk as the other 434. And “your” jerk has the power of the incumbent, to ensure he’s closer to a lifetime job than any of his constituents will ever be.
