In Illinois, American Nazi Leader and Holocaust Denier Likely To Win GOP Congressional Primary

[mikeymikec]

The article stated the reasons they didn't have a candidate.

Really? I just gave the article a quick once-over and this is the closest bit I could find to your assertion:

Republicans didn’t bother to muster a credible candidate because the district is so Democratic. There is always a debate if parties should recruit candidates to run races they are highly likely to lose.

What the article states here is not a reason but an observation coupled with an opinion. Such an observation on its own is as valid a reason as a Democrat saying "I won't run for President because the current President is a Republican".

At this point, your opinion for the underlying reason for them not fielding their own candidate is a valid hypothesis and my opinion of yours and such a motivation is equally valid.

Still no response as to why comparing US and UK politics is invalid until you say it isn't though.

Oh but they do have a candidate.

Not endorsed.

 

[Victorian Gray]

Not endorsed.

Not good enough.

"Republicans didn’t bother to muster a credible candidate because the district is so Democratic."

That is the reason. Obvious reason.

Politics in the UK and the USA are obviously different, that is why I said it. Do you think they are the same?

 

[pcgeek11]

Not good enough.

For you maybe.

 

[Victorian Gray]

For you maybe.

You are a good little follower.

Hypothesis, as I said, which brings us right back round to where we started, but I guess you don't see that.

The funny thing is, you accused me of "spin" when I put their action in a negative light. When the article puts it in a similar negative light, you consider it to be an assertion.

If you persist in being so obtuse I can walk you through a bit of basic reading comprehension so you can maybe finally understand what you are reading.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Christ, I'm done here. I'm not going to point out the flaw again in your statement that you already exploited to make another point.

I could barely make it through this interview,

You expect GOP leadership to stand up to racists and anti-semites?

Haha!

 

[Puffnstuff]

Haha!

That's why the GOP is so ironic.

 

[Thebobo]

I believe he acquired enough signatures to be on the ballot, and just chooses what party affiliation.

Yea I think you could run as a baked potato if you had the signatures.

Yeh, the far right has encroached so far on the GOP brand that the Party now just apologizes for it. Well, kinda. Meanwhile, they'll take all the very fine people votes they can get & dog whistle for more.

Ok I give.

Common sense is now called spinning and politics in the UK and USA is exactly the same in all respects.

What history will remember…

Arthur Jones, Republican congressional candidate from the state of Illinois

It's Friday. Is Mr. Jones the official candidate of the Republican Party now?

I love baked potatoes.

Too lazy to make a new thread on it but has anyone checked in on GOP candidate Paul Nehlen who is running against Paul Ryan for his seat? Have a look at his Twitter feed if you have some free time...

What an upstanding guy who will make no difference at all while maintaining the status quo. Notice his conservative values.

That was after he got his ass whipped by his racist church members.

That’s not entirely surprising given the racist shit he was spewing. I’m sure he’s a victim though.

Oooh looks like it’s permanent.
