Trans Democrats…Calvin Coolidge spins in his grave

There is no Republican party in Vermont. They are busy transitioning to Democrats.

Moderate Republicans in Vermont are pondering their next move after falling short in their effort to stop Donald Trump from becoming their party’s presidential nominee.
Nikki Haley’s supporters in Vermont pulled off what her backers in no other state could do last week — a victory in the Republican presidential primary.
They didn’t have long to savor the win. Fewer than 24 hours after the polls closed in Vermont, Haley announced that she was suspending her campaign. And that’s left anti-Trump Republicans pondering their next move…
This is so pathetic, and embarrassing.  It’s not enough that the Progressive/Democrat party has overwhelming majorities in the legislature (courtesy of voters to be sure) but the Republican party of Vermont is nothing but lapdogs afraid to be chastised by the media
They also got the big endorsement they were looking for, from Phil Scott, the most popular governor in the U.S. Scott appeared alongside Haley at a campaign event in South Burlington two days before the primary.
And it worked. Haley defeated Trump by four percentage points here — and then promptly dropped out of the race.
For Vermont Republicans such as Mary Evslin, it’s unclear how they’ll redirect the time and energy they’d been pouring into the one candidate they believed could stop Trump.
“There certainly are a lot of people who have nowhere to vote now,” said Evslin, also a co-chair of Haley’s Vermont leadership team.
Evslin said Haley represented a long-overdue new chapter in American politics. She said she could comfortably cast a vote for Biden in November.
“I think he’s a kind, good, decent human being,” she said. “I do not feel that way about Trump.

Of course, he is Ms. Evslin, I’ll bet you wish he was sniffing your hair right now.

When it comes to Trump it’s all personal. The good things President Trump accomplished during his term despite the media hoaxes, the swamp trying to destroy him, and half of the Republican party stabbing him in the back is remarkable. And all conveniently forgotten.

It makes one want to puke! 

Of course, the article makes no mention of Vermont’s “open primary” where democrat parties are free to pick up a ‘Republican’ ballot to vote against Trump out of spite. Biden won the Democratic primary with nearly 90% of the vote, no drama there.

And if there was any doubt, we know where “the most popular governor in the U.S.” stands.
Gov. Scott has said he’ll do anything he can to prevent Trump from becoming the next president. Asked last week what he thinks Vermont Republicans should do to avoid that outcome, Scott offered some suggestions.
“Well, don’t vote for Donald Trump, number one,” he said. “Number two, educate your family members. Try to do your research and homework. Hold him accountable for the things he does and says that aren’t accurate.”
Scott said he’ll continue his own “resistance” against Trump whenever the opportunity presents.
In Vermont, there is the Democrat/Progressive party, the Uniparty (the pachyderm morphing into a jackass),
and the enemies of the state, people who support Donald Trump.

When I drive through the backroads of Central Vermont I come across more than a few residences flying a Trump flag, a Gadsden flag, and an American flag

Over 33,000 people checked the box for Trump. He lost by 3,086 votes to the Uniparty and crossover Democrats. Trump supporters are a minority, but we’re not a fringe. But how many are afraid to state openly our true beliefs and feelings to keep the peace in the family and workplace? 

The media likes to portray Trump supporters as akin to “White Christian Nationalism”, so my hat is off to everyone who proclaims their beliefs in public without fear or compromise.

It’s going to be a very interesting, and dangerous spring and summer. Trump is running against a corrupt administration with a demented puppet as its titular head and the arrayed security apparatuses of the DOJ, FBI, and CIA.  And let’s not get started with the media. They are out to stop him by any means necessary. 

 

Rest in Peace President Coolidge the “Brave Little State” that existed in your time doesn’t exist anymore. And it all happened within a single lifetime.

 

I’m glad I’m old.
