Taken from the MCRC briefs: “Trent-Franks Circulating Letter Calling For Cruz Or Rubio To Drop Out Of Race Congressman  Trent Franks, an Arizona Republican, sent the letter to fellow Republicans Wednesday evening. He's asking would-be signers to back his push to rally the establishment around either the Florida or Texas senator in an effort to defeat Donald Trump, the current frontrunner for the GOP nomination.”

Taken from the MCRC briefs:  “Mitch McConnell-Preparing-To-Sacrifice-Presidency-To-Save-Senate-Seats …While still hopeful that Marco Rubio might prevail, Mitch McConnell has begun preparing senators for the prospect of a Donald Trump nomination, assuring them that, if it threatened to harm them in the general election, they could run negative ads about Mr. Trump to create space between him and Republican senators seeking re-election. McConnell has raised the possibility of treating Trump’s loss as a given and describing a Republican Senate to voters as a necessary check on a President Hillary Clinton, according to senators at the lunches. “

Whether or not one is a supporter of Donald Trump, Trump has so far capitalized on the anger with Washington.  Here are two good example of the disintegration of the Republican party!  If Trump is elected POTUS, he faces opposition in the house and senate, both.  Even though all the presidential candidates signed a pledge to support the winner of the election, the pledge didn’t apply to the house and senate!  So, the fat cats in D.C. are still up to their old tricks to retain their hold on power.  Where is the party?  It is up to the party to provided information on all candidates and let the voters decide then united we win, divided we fail.  With this approach looks like we can see a ‘Hillary’ president.  Where is the Party??

It can be seen in an article by Bill Hess, a retired reporter fir the SV Herald:  “It can be seen in the lack of trust for Congress, where party politics is disrupting the government, of, by and far the people.  Instead it has become government of, by and for the politicians.”And, “We don’t hold our elected officials responsible, as long as we are not being harmed”  Where is the party?

Problems with the Kelli Ward Campaign

1.  Refuses to debate other candidates for Senate

2. Further, refuses to be on same agenda -forum

3. Fails to submit timely mandatory financial reports

4.  Fails to report accurate financial reports

5. Posts false attacks about conservatives on fb

6. Supports stripping of SPI Constitutional powers

7. . . . . . . too much to list

There you have it, voter turnout for the primary election.  27% for the state!  Not much interest in politics in Arizona, is there?  Why?

 

That could probably be debated until sundown and still not have a good answer.  No matter the answer, one of the causes is party leadership.  As ‘Tip” O’Neal once said, all politics is local. 

 

Seems to get voter activity there should be ‘party’ activity.  Now when our party sits in the corner, keeps quiet with no support to it’s members before the primary, and looks like all the voters hear is rhetoric by the candidates, what does one expect?  Oh, there has been correspondence from our party leader to the Democrat candidates for governor, but how many Republicans had planned to vote for the Democrat for governor?  Hmmm?  Did his correspondence help many Republican decide for whom to vote?  Or why?

 

Party activity.  How much has there been?  You know, in this county we elected 66 precinct committeemen this go around, which is down, from 78 (?) last time, for a quota of 274.  Now, that’s party activity, isn't it?  But then, why become a Precinct Committeeman?  Same, same.  Why go to vote?   How did your county do with the Precinct Committeemen election? 

 

We kinda ruined the “party” concept in Arizona when we voted to allow registered Independents to vote in the primary.  There is nothing against being an Independent, but how many ‘liberal’ Independents voted in the primary on the Republican ticket?    There is still the general election for the final vote. 

 

Well, what are our leaders planning to do for the general election?  Let’s focus on the information.  Will the information promote conservatism, or RINOs, or selected donor's or special interest or leadership interest or how bad is the other  party or what???  And, as long as the party bylaws allows for autocracy, only the ‘shadow knows.’

For those who have asked what the voter turnout was for the Primary, the Secretary of State reports turnout as 27.16%.  Compared to past primary races in off years, that's higher than usual.

Texas gradually slipping away

 Read this and see if Ducey has adopted the progressive technique of character assignation on C Jones!   http://www.examiner.com/article/texas-gradually-slipping-away?CID=e...

I just joined the Ambassador call for Christine Jones. You can be an Ambassador on the calls by going to gochristine.com and sign up. Tonight, she spoke about the ad running this week by Ducey saying she is dishonest about her border plan and saying (really, it says this) she admits she's being dishonest. Go here to hear what she really says and you can read her plan here, too.http://www.christinejones.com/news Jones outlines several things she will do to take control of the border "and send Obama the bill." On the call tonight, she laid out 5 or 6 things she can do to force the federal govt to pay the bill. Like everything we as individuals do, first we incur the expense, say a medical expense. THEN we submit a bill for reimbursement. THAT is what she says she will do, that is exactly what she will do and THAT's no lie, nor dishonest and certainly NOT admitting she's being dishonest. DUCEY is the dishonest candidate and woe to Arizona if he gets elected.

Just saw the Ducey 2014 ad against Jones.  He took a 5 second clip from her presentation with Babeu on the border, just enough to distort what she says about her plan to fix the border.  The entire ad is lies.  That Ducey robot must be really scared of Jones.  Makes me like her more.
