Not the Onion. House GOP To Run on Reducing National Debt

[RandySF]

House Republicans plan to run on tried-and-true issues in 2020: repealing Obamacare and reducing the national debt, even though the GOP fell short of both goals the last time the party had full control of Washington,” Bloomberg reports.

Said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarth: “The first thing we would do is make sure our debt is taken care of.”

4. Yep. Their position is about as hard to see through as 1 foot of the clearest water.

Our candidates must evicerate their republican rival, hoist those bastards on the own petards.

2. Let them.

The immoral, arrogant assholes. Our candidates MUST force every GOP candidate they face to explain in detail exactly HOW they will reduce debt. Force the assholes to talk about gutting Social Security and Obamacare. Our candidates must be strategic and relentless in their pursuit of those bastards.

they will not discuss what they do not want to discuss.

they'll fall back on their tired tropes: "gubmint waste".

5. Republicans might as well elect:

Arsonists to run as fire chief to address putting out fires

Or

Bank Robbers to run for sheriff on reducing theft

6. i take this announcement as conceding 2020. they are already trying to obstruct any plan we propose.

otherwise, it's pretty idiotic to use this as a campaign strategy with a republican president.

Then after the election is over they can all go to hell.
After that their friends are whoever has the deepest pockets.
