The Clark County Republican Party is so severely fractured that has it has become irrelevant.
New leadership should be focusing on unification, marketing party involvement, increasing awareness of party values and platform and building trust in the party.

This endorsement was an “out of the norm” move that will only further fracture the party and further diminish the influence it once had..

Wow, you think you know how all democrats think and believe? Sounds like you have all the answers. You care more about gun rights than all the children slaughtered in schools, innocent people killed in parks, neighborhoods and other public places, but a woman doesn’t have the right to make decisions about her own health. I haven’t seen any surveys on the religious belief of shooters but it is interesting many of the mass shootings are in RED States. Please show the source of some of your outlandish rantings. What a hypocrite!

LOL, morals.

The problem with morals is that anyone can say anything and say it’s for reasons of morals. Even the seemingly obvious ones (though shalt not kill) have reasonable exceptions (self defense, capital punishment, etc.)

How about we start with you stay out of my business and I’ll stay out of yours!

…”Morals”…not the ditch I plan on dying in.

Now THAT is some real fine, Home-Grown-Jumping in with ALL-Fours! The campaign hasnt even begun, but you are ready to VOTE? Right there. Is my case in point!

No need to SEE anything this early and again, nothing is more clear to me, an Ex-Democrat who thought that party represented FREEDOM! UNfortunately, that is no longer an asset. There is a BIG RED LINE today, between what used to mean: “Liberalism”, and what today means:
ANYONE who cannot SEE the destruction and radicalisms of todays DIM Party needs a full brain transplant!”

It is very sad that our Citizens still remain, completely BLINDED and stymied, by the same couple of OLD and protested ideologies for years with no change. To make Abortions and AR-15’s the same old beaten-to-death subjects, just shows how little we have grown as a nation, when these two issues are FAR AWAY from the really important reasons we are experiencing a TOTAL breakdown of our societies MORAL Values! In fact it is scary. Conservative Values is what Our Constitituion was built, NOT the degradation of our children and family morals as is being presented in our local societal forums today! Its really sad to see what you think is important. Really sad. I was a Democrat my whole life, but what I have seen, only got worse by Liberals this past 10 years, I am well aware which way the mud is flowing. And its ALL Down Hill!

This, right here, is why we continue to lose elections.

We need to regroup and focus on core conservative principles: right sizing the government, protecting freedoms.

The longer we spend going after whatever we think is “woke” or being crybabies about “lost” elections means continuing to lose.

Spinning up more government to intrude in other people’s personal lives is also highly problematic as those same government apparatuses need $ and can be turned on us in the future. Even if we completely disagree with someone’s life choices we should be defending their ability to do what they want without government intrusion on principle!

Also, Wendy, thanks for the helpful background.

Go away Kent, we need an adult with integrity.

There is a full year before the filing deadline for the race and the need to “unite right now, today”, is overstated. In the last election, it was expected incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler would likely occupy one of the two spots in the primary unless a challenger had enough support to oust her; and a Democrat, the other. In 2024 the incumbent Democrat will occupy one, but the 2nd spot is wide open.

Joe Kent did beat Herrera Beutler, but failed to convince voters in the general election. He lost 9% of Republican Tiffany Smiley’s voters, while Marie Gluesenkamp Perez outperformed Patty Murray at about the same rate. It’s hard to see why we should expect a different result next time.
