Here's a question that came to me recently...

Do the Republicans have any winners running around?

I have moved into hell with a couple of RWNJs who listen to FAUX Noise all day and it's hard to avoid sometimes. This begs the question I have come to, looking at and listenting to their guests and commentators.

Are their any Repub winners left?

empty out those pockets you big-spenders!

They do have a few good people, IMO C. Powell for one. But even he won't run with or endorse todays 'nutter' republican party.

He's gotten a lot of positive exposure on the Fox Noise channel.

Edited to add: He does still have the Republican JoeMentum...

they can win fair-and-square now are in Congress and in gubernatorial elections. Their chances of winning a fair election are shot nationally.
