A RED candidate replacing another RED candidate – what else would we expect???
Thank God. Throw those spineless, mindless Dumb-o-crats out of office before they bankrupt the country (any further, I mean). I love that just 2 years ago, liberals were gloating about the strong likelihood of having a voting majority for 40 years. That didn't last long... That's what happens when you offer America a giant crap sandwich disguised as "change." Democrats: Great at slogans, terrible at governing! How's that for a slogan?
I wouldn't vote for Ayotte to be den mother of the local Cub Scouts! The last thing our country needs is ANOTHER lawyer in Congress..........Lawyers are the greedy Wall Street bankers of the American justice system!!!
