It’s a fight for the very idea of Americanism – and what the whole bloody fight for individual rights and freedom was for. Trump is a movement — to save the free world from collectivism and statism.
The Republicans are fired up, and it gets even better. The Republican Party is now larger, and younger, and much more diverse. Never again should the Republican Party be afraid to field candidates in certain districts. Mitt Romney’s Republican Party is dead, thanks to President Donald J. Trump! #Trump2020! #GOP2020!
Republican revenge: Record GOP field forms, on 2020 mission to take down ‘socialists’
Story continues below advertisementBy Fox News, February 21, 2020:
A record number of candidates have filed to run for office in the House and Senate, breaking last cycle’s history-making numbers from the same point in time. But unlike the 2018 midterms when the surge was driven by Democrats, the congressional boom this time is on the Republican side, according to the latest federal candidate and financial activity report obtained exclusively by Fox News.
In 2019 alone, 781 Republicans filed federal paperwork to run for the House, the most ever recorded in an odd year at the Federal Election Commission. That’s up from 593 GOP candidates in 2017, when Democrats had an astounding 937 candidates at the same point.
Republican candidates across the country interviewed by Fox News said they feel momentum is on their side this time. Energized by President Trump and his impeachment acquittal, congressional hopefuls are making the case that Trump needs a fighter like them in the House or else the country will succumb to “socialist” Democratic plans.
“I’m tired of seeing my president attacked every day,” said Marjorie Greene, a GOP businesswoman and first-time congressional candidate running for an open seat in Georgia’s 14th district. “I’m tired of seeing our future threatened. I’m tired of seeing my children’s future extremely threatened, and it’s time to get off the bench and really step up to the plate.”
‘I’m tired of seeing my president attacked every day. … it’s time to get off the bench.’
Like many GOP candidates vying for office this year, Greene takes aim directly at progressive darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her freshman squad and says Congress needs strong conservative women to stand up to “tyrannical socialist Democrats.”
“These are radical women that will not bend. They do not want to work across the aisle. They only want their policies of the Green New Deal, ‘Medicare-for-all’ and socialism for America,” Greene told Fox News.
“Oftentimes, it takes a woman to put another woman in her place,” said Greene, whose family owns a commercial construction company. Ocasio-Cortez herself also is facing a slew of challengers on both sides of the aisle this election cycle.
Last cycle, Democrats set new records for the number of candidates who filed to run for office. Their enthusiasm around the Trump resistance movement paid off with tremendous turnout and Democrats re-taking the House and ultimately impeaching Trump.
While early numbers show that Democrats still have high levels of candidates –- and a fundraising advantage – the Republicans have rebounded in a big way.
The total number of House and Senate candidates reached an off-year record at 1,761, according to the FEC report obtained by Fox News, shattering the 2017 record of 1,739 candidates that was fueled by a wave of Democrats, especially women. This time, based on the latest data, more Republicans are running than Democrats — with 874 total candidates compared with Democrats’ 842.

Hold up, we globally experience capitalism as stativism & collectivism as the social or mainstream diet & economy administration sneakingly forces sugar, sweeteners, estrogen-& antibiotics-filled meat, mercury-& plastic filled fish, plant-food deployed of nutrients through profit-orientated farming, PFAS-& fluoride filled tap-water, GMO-foods, PFAS fleece-& Goretex-materials, PFAS-teflon pans, BPA & BPC plastic-bottles, weapon-, university, school & prison deals with Muhammadist tyrannies & other on unknowing children & people who are overwhelmed in democratically solving these issues the government ought to care for.
That’s why we have to give birth to a global government in this chaos. For a healthy, PFAS-free, toxin-free future that works for everyone including athletes & not just people who don’t care about the future, about health & ecology.

We have an interesting situation here in TX where I live. There are four candidates, all Republicans, running for sheriff to replace the highly popular sheriff who passed away.
That means the sheriff’s race will not be on the Democrat ballots in the primary election on Super Tuesday. If a voter wants to vote for sheriff, they must switch their party from Democrat or Independent (i.e. Indecisive). They must vote Republican in the runoff in May as well.
They can switch back only for the general election on November 3rd.
