Tillis gloats over withdrawal of Trump AG nominee Matt Gaetz

Oh, yes.  Our Republican-In-Name-Only senior US senator is really proud of himself.

During Trump 1.0, Thom Tillis fought the construction of the border wall.  He’s bragged about working with Democrats to pass their nominees and kill our side’s.  Yet, Trump endorsed Tillis during a tough 2020 reelection fight.

I hope Team Trump has finally realized that this dirtbag is all about himself.  Put the right amount of cash in his hands and he’ll sell off his wife and kids. 

North Carolina went strongly for Donald Trump during the election earlier this month.  Yet, Tillis has no qualms with giving his state, Trump’s mandate, and his party’s conservative base not one but two middle fingers. 

Paul Shumaker, Tillis’s puppetmaster, has to be overflowing with joy.  Shumaker’s party-neutering scheme that failed so miserably with the late state Rep. Richard Morgan is working beautifully  in the Tillis era.

Some of you may remember that Morgan and a handful of *Republican* loyalists sided with Democrats in organizing the NC House — despite the fact that voters that year had approved a GOP-run House.  Shumaker and Morgan organized a PAC called North Carolina Mainstreet Republicans which had as its aim the elimination of as many conservative House Republicans as possible.

*Republican* victory is still their goal.  But the real motive is to neuter the party so extensively the relationship with the Democrats will be not much different than the one between Rotary and The Kiwanis. 

Don’t let Tillis and his Raleigh acolytes sway you with sermons about party loyalty and “getting something done”.  Tillis has no problem with stomping on Republicans during and outside of campaign time.  He only appreciates certain (R)s.  We can play that game too.

Our fight is the preservation and expansion of the limited government gospel. Our economy is in the toilet.  Inflation is making trips to the grocery store or gas station unaffordable.  Our children are being flooded and brainwashed with LGBTQ nonsense while kids all over Asia and Africa and Europe are leaving them in the dust learning actual important stuff.  

The answer to save us from going down the drain is spending cuts and dramatic reform.  Tillis has demonstrated he is for none of that.
