What happened with Massey yesterday is a difficult situation to understand. Most on both sides tend to over simplify it. Massey voted the correct way most all the time. As does Rand Paul. I would like to have either of them as my representative from Iowa. The problem is we now have a President that is aiming for the same goal but a different approach to get there. Trump is much more pragmatic. Some would call this compromise, which it is not. He’s playing the long game and if you look at his accomplishments, it looks like it is working. He would like all the Republicans on board, however there are idealists such as Massey and Paul who won’t spend an extra penny to gain a larger victory down the road. (I know, an extra billion is more realistic.) And please I don’t want to go down the road where Israel controls everything. That is a shiny object thrown out by the globalists for distraction, confusion, and intended to divide and conquer MAGA. I get it, there are a lot of bad Jews out there just like a lot of bad gentiles. Those who believe Trump is an Israeli puppet are deceived. Trumps commands every room and person in his presence but Bibi has him by the….. Get real simpletons. Too much involving Iran and Israel and the British Crown to get into now. The best move those like Massey and Paul can do is stand for their principles but get out of the way when those of us who are trying to take back the country are at work.

Tom, like Massie's voting record, I agree with you 90% (probably more), but my concern with the President's long game is it could all be erased if he doesn't get some focus on the intermediate game of the mid-term elections. He not only has to appeal (and those candidates he supported) to the MAGA crowd, but he has to pull from moderates and independents who could be steered by fake news if he doesn't provide a better pitch on his game plan.

Alan, I agree with you on the importance of the midterms. Is it safe to assume that Trump understands this better than the rest of us? I think it is. His dilemma is trying to get things accomplished while racing the clock, and dealing with the in fighting in his party. Iran needed to be dealt with. Securing the Middle East from a nuclear Iran, freeing up Middle East oil (breaking up OPEC), but mostly Trump needed to move over there to take off another major piece from the globalist/British empire chessboard. The Lloyds of London extortion cartel can no longer charge up to $1 million a ship passing through the Strait. The Ayatollah was their strong man. Provided Iran is crippled enough, ours and world trade is now free to pass. This move will cost Americans in gas prices temporarily but if people understand what’s going on, the course is clear moving forward. I do think Trump could do a better job in conveying his strategy. This may be over optimistic, but I see gas prices coming down and a retreat of some sort from the Middle East before midterms. There will not be a full retreat of our navy. That would be foolish. Combine this with killing Democratic gerrymandering and cleaning up the elections, I think the midterms are looking good. This is what I voted for.

His voting record?

It was a useless series of no’s

I like most libertarian policy but

No compromise, no coalition, no progress at all

Read a book on how the constitution was drafted.

Many conflicting ideas and opposing viewpoints hammered into an outstanding document thru trust and compromise

Thank god there were not a group of Massie’s involved. We would still be part of England….

Could you please try to be even more VAGUE, Judy, and not spell anything out for readers outside of Kentucky? And the run-on sentences are a nice touch.

Rep. Massie should run as an Independent or better yet Green Party candidate.

32,000,000.00 in AIPAC money, vile Ai produced commercials, and Fox watching Boomers turned the election… not the hollow man Ed Gallrein.

The statement about spending to stop (or support) a candidate makes some sense. However, the Dem establishment spent over a $Billion on Kamala to stop Trump. Was she doing something right that we all missed.
