    Swampublicans signal total surrender to Demoncrats

    Ed Gillespie, who has been at the forefront of GOP politics for decades, said he wouldn’t encourage others to run for office in his first interview since losing the heated Virginia governor’s race last month.
    During an 80-minute appearance on “The Axe Files” podcast with Democratic strategist David Axelrod, Gillespie lamented polarization in politics, the challenges of running with Donald Trump in the White House and how journalists cover campaigns. He lost to Democrat Ralph Northam by nine percentage points in a wave election that also saw significant Democratic gains in the state legislature.
    Gillespie said running for governor this year was much more challenging than when he challenged U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) in 2014 — and nearly won.
    “It’s a much more poisonous atmosphere. I don’t know if there’s causality or correlation, I leave that for others to determine,” Gillespie said. “But I could not honestly say to someone that I like and think is a halfway decent human being, ‘Yeah, you ought to run for office’.”

    Just don't run any Republicans and the Demoncrats will win every race.

    The Grand Old Party holds 34 of 50 Governorships , 239 of 435 House seats , 51 of 100 Senate Seats , 32 of 50 state legislatures and split control of 6 others . While losing a senate seat in Alabama is certainly a failure , it is still the most powerful political party in the world .

    And the Swampublicans are determined to put an end to that.

    Hmmmm.....

    Sorry buddy but that "insult" doesn't bother me, in the first place I have long let it be known that I believe the Demoncrats to be the worst of the bad choices we have and in the second place I am calling the GOPe "SWAMPublicans" so I am not showing much favoritism here.
