republicans have turned their back on the United States of America and its democratic form of government. No honest citizen will forget or forgive this wholesale republican betrayal of America.

That word has a very heavy connotation to the older Republicans we've flipped in our precinct and district.

Remember - our opponents rely on buzzwords that strike fearful emotions in the electorate.

Simple words work. Believe me.

And I agree completely.

Would love our party and it's strategists to link that word with republicans every chance they get.

they are crooks, scofflaws, and cheats of the highest order.

Russia and tRump only took advantage of the illegal, immoral, and planned hijacking of the US government that started years ago with this GOP.

Take their money, take their freedom, and lock them up.

They have declared their allegiance to Russia through their silence, their denials, their obfuscations, their support of a Russian agent in the White House. The Republican leadership is fully co-operating with Russia's demands. Take it to the bank.

We keep trying to heal the nation by showing compassion and forgiveness and the result is that the forces of evil reform, rebrand, and come back bigger and stronger than before.

We're not going to properly heal as a nation until we root out every last traitor/criminal in power and hold them to account.

Everyone and everything they have done must be brought out into the open. No moving on or moving past it in a quest for bipartisanship.

If they do that, we'll be down this road again. I don't have much confidence that the dems will act with boldness, and that too will lead us back down this path. The GOP needs to be squashed. No mercy. They are not basically decent people with different views, they are inhumane.

The "McCarthy Era" was actually the Republican era every one of them was in it neck deep until the country turned against them; then they all left out the back door.

Every last single one of those Republicans are complicit in stealing our republic and working with Putin to destroy our nation. It's for this reason why I place zero hope in the midterms or in the election system. Republicans are the party of traitors. This is no hyperbole, this is plainly seen. Now the question becomes what do we do about it? We can no longer have a system of government that includes them, but how do we exclude them and still remain "America"?

Ryan. Mitch. History will show the stain they left on our great nation's heritage and traditions. The conseяvative party did this and we shall not forget.
