Midterms put GOP centrists in peril

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A potential blue wave and string of Republican retirements could wipe out a huge chunk of GOP moderates this fall, leaving an even more conservative House caucus behind them.

Some of the most competitive races this election cycle feature centrist Republicans like Mike Coffman of Colorado, Leonard Lance of New Jersey and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.

And the GOP’s most prominent and outspoken moderate voices — including Reps. Ryan Costello (Pa.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fla.) and former Rep. Charlie Dent (Pa.) — have decided to head for the exits instead of face tough reelection battles back home.

Centrist GOP lawmakers are in a difficult political climate in the era of Trump, where they are constantly walking a political tightrope as they try to respond to a never-ending stream of White House controversies without upsetting their Republican base.

1. Here's our opening folks. Take these slots away and we'll have the majority. Nov. 2018 here...

we come. The end of the GOP as a major party is in sight now...and I can't wait and I'll be the first one in line at the voting booth come Nov. 2018.

2. What moderates? The moderates are in the Democratic Party.

Tom Carper, Mark Warner, Joe Donnelly, and Connor Lamb are moderates. The GOP is right or hard right.

3. No problem, tossing out some of the Trumpist beasts is worth the small cost of this "loss".

Even when we win the media spins it as a fucking loss!

No political horse race, no political ads, no ads, no money, no money, no media...you do the math.
