"SNIP.......

“A well-funded Republican political apparatus has quietly sought to tip the scales in key GOP primaries this year, funding local-sounding super PACs to try — with limited success so far — to knock off hard-right Republican candidates,” Axios reports.

“So far, the effort prevailed in just one of six races, underscoring the challenges in pulling a party still in thrall to Donald Trump’s political brand away from the fringe.”

2. They created loonies in Canada. Last federal election in the fall the Conservative

Leader had to appeal to them and then go back to appealing the centre on the same issue. The right wing loonies insisted on him throwing them red meat at least once a week. Messed up his campaign big time. Trudeau was unpopular but won. The Conservative leader proved himself to be a phony.

3. Rs tried to derail Mastriano in PA

but failed. It says a lot the candidate they rallied behind was former congressman Lou Barletta.

4. The eggs have hatched

I suspect that the GOP is going to be harder and harder pressed to find viable candidates that will be able to appeal to swing voters. It's hard to hide that level of crazy.

5. +effin 1. "The eggs have hatched". Instant LOL.

Images of hatchling dinosaurs scurrying about their nests.
