‘Undemocratic BS’: Republican challenger warns ‘Donald Trump is trying to eliminate elections’

President Donald Trump was ripped for “trying to eliminate elections” on MSNBC on Friday.

“Republican parties in South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and Kansas are expected to finalize the cancellations in meetings this weekend,” Politico reported Friday, citing three GOP officials.

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), who is challenging Trump for the GOP nomination, blasted the decision on Twitter.

Walsh was asked about the reporting on MSNBC’s “The Beat” with Ari Melber.

“This is not North Korea or Russia,” Walsh said.

“Donald Trump is trying to eliminate elections. He wants to eliminate primary elections, right now in four states, Arizona, Nevada, South Carolina and Kansas. That is undemocratic B.S. It’s wrong and that’s the kind of thing that should p*ss off Republican voters,” he added.

Trumpski don't need no stinking primaries!

Joe Walsh is joke. It's unlikely he'll get above 5% in any poll, despite the Media's attempt to prop him up.

Unity is important, and states have the right to manage their own primary contests. That's....fair.

Unlike the DNC...which is right now...doing it's best to make sure Tulsi Gabbard doesn't make it anywhere near a debate stage. Especially after she single-handedly made Kamala Harris disappear.

At this point....Trump sails to a re-election. Seriously...without a recession it's not even close.

Not even close. True enough.

 

[magicalmoments]

How is this...in any way...related to Trump?

State parties are making their own decisions about how they want to handle primary elections? It's...their...choice.

It's not like they're actually rigging the primary...like the DNC did for Hillary.

They're rigging the process to favour trump and to disadvantage the challengers. Call it for what it is you chlorinated chicken (thank you Boris).
Your "what aboutism" is fully irrelevant.

The DNC doesn't control state Democratic primaries, the state parties do. And what Democrat was kept out of any Democratic state primaries and how for the 2016 election? They even let Bernie run and he isn't a Democrat--which is a perfectly good reason in my mind for why the DNC tried to put the brakes on him. I think they should have done it in the open. They didn't because they didn't want to lose his fanatics and they did anyway and should have known those folks were there for Bernie and his pie-in-the-sky proposals, not for the Democrats. He was trying to steal a party apparatus for a party he didn't/doesn't belong to without doing a damn thing for any Democrats (and still is trying to do this).

He was the flip side of Trump and the Republicans. The RNC tried to put the skids on Trump, who is neither a Republican or a conservative, for as long as they could too, and this isn't as clear as what the DNC tried to do to preserve itself only because the Russians were on the Trump team and hacking DNC emails. They probably hacked the RNC too, but didn't reveal them because, once Trump got the nomination, The RNC was an asset of the Russians (and still is).

 

[JackLuis]

Joe Walsh was on Real Time tonight and said he was a Conservative Republican and Trump was...a blithering imbecile, which got a round of applause.

Of course Bill hogged the conversation as he is a dick, but Joe was as hard on Trump as anyone despite Joe supporting most of Trumpisim. It seemed that he was more upset by Trumpski's self centred viewpoint than the ditch Trump was driving the country into.

 

[YDB95]

It seemed that he was more upset by Trumpski's self centred viewpoint than the ditch Trump was driving the country into.

I think that's it all right. It's not that they don't like his politics, it's that they're worried his bizarre and extreme behaviour is hurting the cause.

But if it means dissent in the GOP ranks, I'll take it.

 

[JackLuis]

What ditch?
.

The "Repossession by next August" ditch. The China eating our lunch ditch. The loss of our international allies ditch. The loss of our Manufacturing Sector ditch.

Just because you are dry now doesn't mean the bilge isn't filling up.

 

[YDB95]

The only places where people are truly struggling, and the situation is ugly...are blue cities and the border.

Are you deliberately ignoring the news about what's happening with farmers, or do you simply not care because they'll all probably still vote Republican anyway? (Admittedly not an unreasonable course of action.)

And I daresay blue cities like New York and San Francisco are probably doing better than the rustbelt cities that helped elect Trump.

"Every time a president has had an opponent within their own party ... that president has gone on to lose the general election," Weld said in an interview with NPR's Morning Edition.

Trump's opponents are well aware of this history and are hoping for a repeat of what happened to one-term presidents like George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. Each faced a major primary challenger from within their own party and each went on to be denied a second term.

President Trump's campaign and allies also know this history and are working to leave as little daylight for these challengers as possible. At the state level, that means moving to change the rules and even eliminate or scale back Republican primaries and caucuses.

How is that anything other than deliberately and intentionally unethical?

Trump melts down on new GOP challenger after watching him on MSNBC’s Morning Joe

Not exactly new news, but yeah it's official!

President Donald Trump insists he doesn’t watch MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” but he frequently tweets out complaints that betray his loyal viewership of the show hosted by two of his former friends.

Mark Sanford, the former South Carolina governor and congressman, appeared Monday to tell hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski about his Republican primary campaign against the president — and Trump ranted about the segment minutes later on Twitter.

Sanford joins former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh as GOP primary challengers to the president.

Go GOP! Really go anywhere!

GOP Primary Challenger to Trump Accuses Republican Party of Taking 'Cues from North Korea'
Newsweek.com | Mon Sep 09, 2019 17:28 UTC

"It's an awfully anti-Democratic process that's being suggested by the party," former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford said.



Well, Donny HAS been sucking up to his Kim-bro an awful lot lately.

Trump challenger Bill Weld: 'My goal is to win'

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R) said Friday that he intends to beat President Trump in the Republican primary, touting himself as a viable alternative.

“My goal is to win,” Weld told Hill.TV.

He said that even if he falls short in his long-shot bid, he wouldn’t consider it a complete loss.

“If I contributed to Mr. Trump not getting reelected, would that be winning?” Weld asked. “The answer is it would be a solid achievement that I would be proud to have done. But it wouldn’t be winning.”

With Donnie holding on with his lips, Bill and Joe have a chance!

Trump challenger Bill Weld: 'My goal is to win'



With Donnie holding on with his lips, Bill and Joe have a chance!

Donnie is well below forty percent nationally now, and below most of the best known Democrats in several key states. The electoral math is not looking good for him, and I have to wonder if there are Republicans looking at him like "what have you done for us lately, Donnie boy?"

Well, some Republicans. Unfortunately, the base seems to stick with him so far. If the base ever cracks, as improbable as that is, he's completely toast. Then he can join Bibi in jail.

GOP voters infuriated by primary cancellations to protect Trump from challengers

Why do we not see "Rethuglicunts in Disarray" headlines?

 

[JackLuis]

Wow. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Raw Story...isn't that credible. Use whatever news sources you want, but I suspect Raw Story told you Hillary was going to win.

Might want to broaden your sources of news and political analysis.

I know that Raw Story isn't "fair and balanced," but they have the best anti-Trumpski stories and Really Really hate Rethuglicunts. They are mostly a news aggregateor so they occasionally do some 'centerist' stuff.

I do read some other sources, The Bulwark is good too, but they are not as hard on Trumpski as I feel is appropriate for my mission to fuck trump every fucking day! As a life long Californian I like Leftists, not communist but social democratic leftists.

I find that they are right about things more often than they go off the deep end.

 

[YDB95]

Bill Weld supports abortion rights, ergo he wouldn't have a chance in the Republican primary even without an incumbent with a diehard base.

 

[BotanyBoy]

As a life long Californian I like Leftists, not communist but social democratic leftists.

Stop trying to church it up son.....you're a flaming socialist.

You support a pair of openly socialist candidates and their insane ideology of authoritarian wealth redistribution simply for the sake of equity....because American dream BAD!~

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

Bill Weld supports abortion rights, ergo he wouldn't have a chance in the Republican primary even without an incumbent with a diehard base.

Sadly, I fear that you're right. Weld should just run as a Libertarian or independent and take centrist voters from Trump. Ones that would never go for a Democrat, but might bleed away from the GOP. Unlike Gary Johnson, Weld actually knows what Aleppo is, after all.

‘We’re seeing the cracks’: MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch predicts GOP will dump Trump before 2020 convention

Discussing the latest revelations in Donald Trump’s ever-expanding Ukraine phone-call scandal, MSNBC Morning Joe regular Donnie Deutsch speculated that the Republican Party will abandon Donald Trump as their 2020 presidential nominee and look elsewhere.

Speaking with host Joe Scarborough, Deutsch stated that he is seeing fissures in the GOP as lawmakers looks past Trump as it appears some of his top appointees might be going down with him.

So I think the Republicans are at some point — nobody wants Donald Trump — they don’t want Donald Trump there, we know that,” he added. “Jeff Flake said 35 senators, if they voted privately, they don’t want him there and I don’t think we are that far.”

“It was interesting, [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell said yesterday, ‘Yes, I would take the impeachment to the Senate,’ I was assuming he was going to do Merrick Garland,” Deutsch added. “There’s a little wiggle room in there. Do you have to take it to the Senate? I think we’re seeing the cracks and I would not be surprised, come 202o, that the Republican candidate is Nikki Haley.”

With Trumpster in the dumpster, they will have to come up with someone who wasn't tainted by the Trump regime. How deep will they have to dig to find someone who won't have the Trump stink on them?

Trump primary challenger Sanford: Republican Party 'has lost its way'

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) pushed back Friday on claims that his long-shot Republican Primary bid against President Trump is a publicity stunt, claiming that he is running because he believes the party has “lost its way” since 2016.

“The Republican Party has lost its way under this administration — not just on debt and deficit but frankly with regard to are we inward- or we outward-looking,” Sanford told Hill.TV on Friday. “This whole ramp-up on tariffs is beginning to impact the economy in substantive ways.”

Sanford’s comments come amid a widening trade gap and Trump's ongoing tariff fights with China and Europe.

The U.S. trade deficit rose to $54.9 billion in August, a 1.6 percent increase from July and a 7.1 percent from the same period last year. Analysts have attributed Trump’s trade wars as a contributing factor.

Not all Republicans are Rethuglicunts!

‘Donald Trump is a traitor’: Joe Walsh blows up on Mark Sanford on live TV for not supporting impeachment

Republican presidential candidates Mark Sanford and Joe Walsh debated the impeachment of President Donald Trump on live television on Sunday.

The two candidates appeared on CNN’s State of the Union, where host Jake Tapper asked them about charges that Trump abused his power by trying to get Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden.

Sanford couldn’t say that he would vote to impeach Trump, but Walsh immediately committed.

“With all due respect, this president deserves to be impeached,” Walsh said. “No one from the White House or high-level Republicans are on the show today because there is nothing to defend. This president betrayed his country again this week. Would I vote if I were in Congress on the inquiry? There is enough we know now to vote to impeachment this president.”

“This is a strong term I’m going to use but I’m going to say it on purpose, Donald Trump is a traitor,” he added, carefully noting that he was not accusing the president of “treason.”

It may be futile effort, but it is entertaining.

 

[jaF0]

But, if he were in the Senate, would he vote to remove?

Markey Mark's out.
