The Democrats are quietly trying to blunt the impact of the Republican National Convention on voters. Unfortunately, the people who put the Republic convention together had a better understanding of television production than the people who put the Democrat convention together. The latest effort by the Democrats was putting out a list of Republicans voting for Joe Biden. That was almost impressive until you looked at the list.<\/p>\n
The Daily Caller<\/a> posted the following today:<\/p>\n Nothing says \u201cauthentic\u201d like a list of \u201cRepublican\u201d supporters who aren\u2019t Republicans.<\/strong> …Following Flake on Biden\u2019s list is Jim Kolbe, who left Congress while George W. Bush was still in office. The former congressman soon after became an Obama appointee and subsequently crossed \u201cRepublican\u201d off of his voter registration.<\/strong> You get the picture. After a while you begin to wonder why President Trump is such a threat to the Washington establishment. Remember the statement by Hillary Clinton, “If That F-ing B*stard Trump Wins, We All Hang From Nooses.”<\/p>\n A video of the incident is posted at YouTube<\/a>. Also here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s the sleight of hand Joe Biden just tried to pull. On Monday afternoon, his presidential campaign blasted out a \u201c[h]uge list of Arizona Republicans \u2026 endorsing @JoeBiden today,\u201d in an attempt to paint the Democratic ticket as bipartisan. We in Arizona were a little confused, though, because most of the endorsees on the list aren\u2019t exactly what you\u2019d call Republicans.<\/strong>
\nRight at the top of the list (you guessed it) is former senator Jeff Flake, who suddenly dropped out of his reelection race in 2017 after realizing that Republican primary voters didn\u2019t like him \u2014 and neither did anybody else. Most of the time, the former senator is out of sight (and out of mind). But every now and then he\u2019ll pop his head above ground to remind the media how woke he is and get a sniff of that \u201cStrange New Respect.\u201d<\/strong>
\nThis week\u2019s endorsement is just another example of that. In 2016, Flake announced that he wasn\u2019t voting for President Trump. In 2019, he bragged that \u201cI would support a Democrat\u201d for president, adding: \u201c\u2026 obviously Joe Biden comes to mind.\u201d Finally, in early 2020, he reiterated that November \u201cwon\u2019t be the first time I\u2019ve voted for a Democrat.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nFollowing him is Grant Woods. You might be asking: \u201cWho is that?\u201d So are we.<\/strong>
\nWoods, a politician from the 1990s, gained a reputation as a liberal Republican before disappearing from the political world for a decade while working as a trial lawyer. He came out of the woodwork in 2010 to endorse Felecia Rotellini (now the Arizona Democratic Party\u2019s chairwoman) for state attorney general and again in 2014 to endorse Democrat Fred DuVal for governor. Woods then endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 \u2014 he called her \u201cone of the most qualified nominees to ever run\u201d \u2014 and endorsed Democrats Hiral Tipirneni and Kyrsten Sinema in 2018 before formally changing his own voter registration to Democrat.<\/strong>
\nBut, yes, definitely a Republican.<\/strong><\/p>\n
