Republicans Must Police Their Primaries

  • Friday, May 20, 2022

The Democrat Party has abused its constituents for decades, especially the black community. They promise much but deliver little that actually helps their supporters. For instance, the greatest economic benefit to the black community in the history of our nation came about at the election of President Donald Trump. Black unemployment fell to its lowest ever and black wages rose to their highest ever; inflation was hardly known. (And Democrats opposed him all the way.) 

 

The Democrat Party unscrupulously uses a “minority” narrative to carry on their anti-American, anti-God message.

They garner the minority vote to get unqualified and otherwise unelectable candidates into office: Joe Biden, Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Lightfoot. Now they want to rape the Hamilton County Republican Party by polluting our primary. 

 

The Democrat Party in Hamilton County is dying. In this election cycle, they could hardly field candidates for their own primary. So, to get the best outcome for their party, they insincerely and fraudulently encouraged their members to cross over and vote in the Republican Primary and specifically named Weston Wamp as the Republican candidate to vote for.

 

The Republican Party leadership must cure this injustice if our party is to continue. How do we get good candidates to run for office if this goes on?  

 

A primary is not the general election. By law, only bona fide Republicans are allowed to vote in Republican primaries. All Democrat crossover votes in this primary should be disallowed or a new Republican Primary with bona fide Republicans held.
