The goal is control. Much ink has been spent discussing what is this administration’s end goals whether it be border security, immigration enforcement and deportation, trade and tariffs, drug trafficking and the military, inflation, FEMA and disaster relief, the military as a domestic police force, and more on an endless list. The goal in all cases is unfettered control ignoring 250 years of constitutional and/or case law. THIS REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT BELIEVE IN OUR ELECTORAL PROCESSES, THE CONSTITUTION OR THE RULE OF LAW.
With the above said, and that “all politics is local” it is fully understandable that the State Republican party is not following the law electing Republican state delegates and Tony Hudson would need to sue to rectify the problem. I wish him luck. It will take more than luck. He seems to have reached the bottom of a major requirement to correct party control; money in his wallet. On the surface his determination is a commendable effort assuming the goal is to ensure the rule of law is followed leading to properly elected delegates.
The original Republican party exists in name only, does not believe in the rule of law, has turned election denial, integrity and suppression into a political art form and further elevated individual loyalty to the king and his ideology over competent job performance. The result is local and national chaos. Unless Mr. Hudson is willing to admit and denounce these realities to himself, his fellow party members and the public, he is just rearranging beach chairs on the political ship Titanic at his and the American taxpayers expense.

The “Goal” is to push Russia, China and Iran out of the Western Hemisphere: see “Monroe Doctrine” As for all politics is local it simply translates to all backroom deals are retail.
What continues to blow my mind is the lack of vision by many who have not the education nor wherewith all to see beyond their own inequity against someone that operates on a level they are not in tune with. This demonstrates a lack of knowledge that is a personal problem and a responsible citizen will correct that and stop with the slander. You can now slice and dice this letter to feel better or you can dare to be brave and look this stuff up yourself….no, it’s not on FOX.

Bill,
Part of Hillary Clinton’s concession speech Nov. 9, 2016.
Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for and I’m sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country.
Grow the hell up, Bill.
Bill Cavanaugh says
She was on a show LAST WEEK calling him an illegitimate president!
Wake the F up Wayne
WMA says
Bill,
Her opinion, one I don’t share. He is a childishly incompetent president, felon, rapist and draft dodger but he was elected. When Hillary gins up a slate of fake electors or foments a violent insurrection, get back to me.
Bill Cavanaugh says
Felon. Fake, and that whole scam was a huge threat to our constitution. Please Provide one fact that he’s a rapist, I’ll wait. Couldn’t care less about a draft that occurred 60 years ago.
Hillary, paid for and pushed for fake intelligence falsely tying Trump to win an election falsely imprisoning his staff. She, Pelosi and their merry band of anarchists set up Jan 6. Who was the pipe Bomber Wayne?
You’re clueless Wayne, open the base door and come outside the country is heeling from the Biden debacle.
Bill Cavanaugh says
Umm.. Excuse me, Isn’t Hillary Clinton on the 9th year of her election denial “Book tour”? Isn’t Stacy Abrams still denying her Georgia beatdown? Last I checked , Every Democrat from Chuck Schumer to AOC has claimed that Trump was not duly elected in 2016.
I also seem to recall being treated like a leper by our last administration for not getting their pocket lining Covid shot, forced to stay at home, and not work, and a lovely little speech that was out of 1984 complete with a communist red background, surrounded by armed military telling us how bad “Extreme Maga Republicans” are, all while trying to tell us how he was going to bring unity.
Give me a Break.
