I wish conservatives worked this hard on any other conservative policy as they have against Massie. Like a balanced budget instead of the biggest spending bill ever because Trump asked for it.
Massie is worse than John McCain

It's a shame boomers are so miss informed by the big media. They see Trump endorsing another opponent and bashing Massie and just follow the orders, cause that's all they know how.
If they had come up a balanced budget Massie would have invented some principle about why he could not i good conscience vote for it then go on with Tucker Carlson and Whoopi Goldberg to explain himself.
Massie went over the cliff. I supported him early on. Obstructing when you don't have a chance in hell to move the needle did him in.
Now it's boomers fault?
Massie is going down:
🚨 NOW: Ed Gallrein is currently UP against Thomas Massie by around 14 points with 13% of the vote in

I have to emphasize: this is still quite early, and no call can be made.
Current difference is around 2,300 votes. pic.twitter.com/a2hmevrrZf

I wish Massie worked as hard at negotiating the things he wanted in return for his vote as he has at trying to stop Mike Johnson from implementing the R agenda. He is the congressional champion of letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Well they realized we saw through them when they blamed it on the Joos, so they pivoted to that other boogeyman of the under 30 liberals…err I mean rock ribbed libertarian conservatives…the boomers.
Senator Paul reminds you he is still in office.
Decision Desk HQ called it for Gallrein. 52% vote in with Gallrein up by 9-1/2%.

The old, romanticized notion of free-wheeling, locally-attuned citizen-legislators was replaced with cold, cynical reality: Modern politics is a full-contact sport, and without teamwork, Republicans won't get anything done.
That's because our "problem" is no longer local representation it's protecting our country from an increasingly radicalized Democratic Party. As the Democrats have embraced socialism, Wokeism, and trans/LGBTQ policies, Republican voters have recoiled in horror. We want our party to protect us from their madness.
And that's an all-hands-on-deck challenge.
Today, we expect a Republican district will send a loyal, dependable Republican representative to Washington. Helping our GOP "team" is considered part of the job. And given how narrow the margins are, we're unwilling to sacrifice a roster spot for someone who refuses to play ball.
It's a luxury we can no longer afford.
Congressmen and senators aren't simply judged by how much pork they can peddle. Not anymore that's as out-of-fashion as parachute pants, Wham! records, and the mullet. Instead, they're judged by how effectively they help their "team" advance the national football.
Which, unfortunately, is Thomas Massie's biggest weakness.
The Kentucky congressman cares mightily about his libertarian-leaning ideology. He values being a congressman because it gives him a national platform to promote his worldview. Massie values it so much, he abandoned his pledge to only serve three terms. (He's now running for term number eight.)

If those who oppose socialism, Marxism and the DNC ways do not line up behind Trump, then go ahead and grab your Palestinian flag and pink ***** hat cause it's time to pick sides.

Well, I never heard complaint about Massie until the Epstein stuff. Maybe they were out there but never heard them
ETA: or MTG.
Massie never cared about the Epstein stuff until the Democrats started whining about getting it released...then suddenly it was his #1 issue...
You can turn off signatures, btw

No one buys your endless ridiculous excuses.
this was the most expensive House race in history- so where did Tom Massie get all that money he spent?
from Muslims, Californians, leftists and Code Pink sickos.

Pretty much expected from him.
He won't even try to hide is malignant antisemitism anymore.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
