Ok, imma go out on an olive branch of a bipartisan limb here...does Massie have a dem running against him?

Cause if not, I'm fine with that. Yes, he's libertarian-style nuts as the week is long, but that ALSO MEANS, he's putting his money where his mouth is as far as trumps govt overreach. That, plus how deeply he believes in the QAnon nonsense 'that actually isnt'...I'd vote for him if no one challenges.

He just demolished Pam. I'm here for it, and well done, sir.
Well done, indeed!

But sure, if the only choice is GOP vs GOP, Massie at least has proven he really doesn't like pedophiles running the world

I even warmed up to Greene and Boebert- not that I' don't have other problems with them, but I'm grateful for their integrity on this subject. If there was ever a time we need bipartisanship, it's now.

I do appreciate his handing of the Epstein files/Trump administration, though.

But no, I support Democrats.

It's a deep red district, and sometimes they just....don't. I wasn't sure, that's why I asked.

Brags aboutBillionaire foreign donors spending millions for Massie’s GOP opponent.

Trump: Congressman Thomas Massie is a “PATHETIC LOSER" for OPPOSING WAR In IRAN”

I like to see Ro Kanna and Massie working side by side. He’s a libertarian so he has lots of disagreements but he’s anti genocide , anti war and for keeping tax dollars for Americans. Also - he now has a HUGE following of Republicans. He’s raising lots of money from across America to counter the millions spent by AIPAC.

“RO KHANNA.@RepThomasMassie and I forced last night the DOJ to disclose the identities of 6 men:

Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner.

I share details of what more we learned to hold the Epstein class accountable .

Krasnov is dumping money into one of his cronies to primary Massie. Massie was at an event with his challenger present and as Massie was calling him a Krasnov fluffer the chair grabbed the microphone away from Massie. Massie shouted out that he wasn't beholding to the chair or to the president, he was beholden to the people. People cheered and as Massie walked out a large group followed him, according to Massie, we all went for beers.

He’s the kind of Republican I would prefer to see - going against Trump even if it puts his life in danger - anti war, anti genocide and huge against pedos.

I doubt if even another Republican getting millions (from 3 billionaires) would beat Massie. He’s loved in Kentucky.

I'd always vote for the Democrat and I'm not giving Massie any money or anything like that. But if that district is going to stay red, I hope he survives the primary... if for no other reason, it will have Trump launching ketchup bottles from remote controlled combat drones.

He'll have a Dem running against him, but it's voters are mainly SUBURBAN Cincy.

That's where all the white people ran to and left the city proper to the Libs and African-Americans. Like my parents did.

I have a HS classmate who lives there and loathes him.
