But, do we trust him that he won't run?With release of the report, he’s changed his mind. He won’t run again next year.
I don't trust him for anything at all, and I also don't trust Johnson or anyone else in the House to expel him.But, do we trust him that he won't run?
You forgot a VERY important word in your post.
This is all the Democrats fault....
or something.
Yep, Santos just lacked advice from a half-baked lawyer to make his campaign fundraising for personal benefit completely legal (per the Supreme Court), and then he'd fit right in. But he couldn't help himself from continuing his apparently compulsive defrauding of everyone he meets.There's an infinitesimal difference between Santos and his colleagues in the House and Senate. That difference being Santos and his financiers were far too reckless with his personal and campaign finances, whereas his fellow conservative pols are sheltered by corruptive corporate backing that have the right connections that allows their bought and paid for stooges to play dirty and get away with it.
Everyone of those dipshits in the House Freedom Caucus are no different than Santos as far as their being devoid of morals and ethics and those stalwart cowardly conservative "moderates" that're simply going along for the ride are just a half-step behind them.

Soooo, 50/50?Santos will likely be expelled…vote expected after Thanksgiving…UNLESS the new Speaker goes out of his way to save him…which would take this whole clown show to another level.

Pick? Not like a senator that governor picks a replacement. Goes to a special election to fill the vacancy.I do wonder about the person that's going to replace him and how that person is going to be chosen, although in light of Trump's mentioning how liberals are all vermin, I'll retort by mentioning that picking a replacement for Santos would be a lot like choosing the prettiest even tempered pup out of a litter of newborn hyenas.

The sooner he is expelled the better.
I don't know about that.. I almost want to celebrate his audacity.
To scam so many GOP donors to such a degree is rather hilarious, especially since it further highlights what a clown show their party is!
If we're honest.. the party honestly doesn't care since all it is is a scam! They're privately laughing along with him that they scammed their donors too!
I mean what has McCarthy or Scalise, or MTG or Bobo or Mace or even MAGA Mike been up to till now if they really wanted to hold him accountable?

Actually as a long term politically active registered Democrat, I DO lay a good deal of the blame on the Democratic candidate that ran against Santos, and blame against the national Democratic campaign coordinators that direct funding and advice. Let me explain my thoughts.This is all the Democrats fault....

Agreed pretty much what I said somewhere.Actually as a long term politically active registered Democrat, I DO lay a good deal of the blame on the Democratic candidate that ran against Santos, and blame against the national Democratic campaign coordinators that direct funding and advice. Let me explain my thoughts.
From what I understand this district is a usually leaning Democratic, or at worst a toss up one. In a real sense elections are like ball games or trials you have to both prepare and try to the best of your ability or you are throwing away any chance of winning. Opposition research has been an essential part of every race at the Congressional level for decades now. Santos had an extremely huge set of red flags going into the election-the fact that either Santos' clear flaws didn't come up in that opposition research or that Santos' opponent didn't effectively publicize hose flaws to the voters BEFORE the election is inexcusable malpractice.
I also toss some blame towards the national arm of the Democratic party for not funneling more money towards this race and making sure it was effectively used. They are always dunning us for contributions, the vast amount of which seems to be spent on ineffective and useless generic "vote for me" ads.
We allowed this election to be stolen, and then are upset when the national GOP won't do the moral thing and throw this bum out when they have a razor thin margin. Given the fundamental distain the MAGA crowd has for the American system of self governance selected by the majority of the people that reliance is just plain stupid.
I'm not so sure Santos will be booted out soon. Perhaps his theft of donor funds will be enough for his GOP colleagues finally decide Santos is causing them more harm than good, but I'm not so confident of that.
