Indiana GOP Sen. Todd Young renews his pledge not to support Trump in 2024

[Expat]

Awfully early in the AM to invoke Vance Hartke. I was too young to vote against him, or Evan Bayh's sorry arsed daddy.

How long did we have either Birch or Evan in office? A very long time.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

People forget the Hoosiers are not as conservative as the INGO likes to think, Bayh, Hartke, Lugar.

This is a state where most democrats run as republicans.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I remember when Hartke and Roudebush were running against each other back in 71 or 72. My grandpa used to call them "Hard Tack and Round the Bush".

Todd Young is more useless than t1ts on a demons head!

Didn’t he use to be a Marine? Don’t remember where I heard that.

Counter-Intelligence... seriously, he was in Counter-Intel. These jokes write themselves.

Well I'd say that was aappropriate.
He is most assuredly something other than intelligent.

Indiana is really a purple state, but nobody wants to admit it. It is a sad truth.

We need the ability to recall. Someone needs to bring that legislation up and asap.
I think we could recall Young or come close enough it might wake him up if we had the ability to do so.
What politician would be willing to write this kind of legislation, and bring it before Indiana congress?
Whoever it is we need to start calling, emailing, and snail mail him/her until something is done.

On the recall issue, start with your State Representative and Senator. I think I have tried with both mine, neither seem willing to touch it. It only takes one actual representative of the people to start the conversation among the elected servants to start the process.

On the party front, start with calling and writing your county precinct personnel, and the Indiana State Republican Party.

The State party has a couple dozen communications from me about Shreve, Young, and their general failure to find and support Constitutionalists (or at least those who follow the Republican Party platform).

If you really want to understand the lay of the land this thread covers it.

Why Are Republicans So Soft In Red States, Like Indiana?

It is often lamented here that our republicans are weak and soft, this article makes some excellent points on that topic. “In the big red states, everyone who is wants to get elected to anything joins the GOP. So, naturally, a lot of people who, in a non-red state, would probably be Democrats...

John Rust is running this year against Jim Banks. There are still issues unresolved as to whether he will be on the ballot for Braun's seat.

We need to urge him to run again in 4 years if not elected now to primary Todd Young.

In case you didn't know, Todd used to be a Marine.

John Rust was removed from the ballot because he didn't vote republican in two consecutive primaries. Prior to that he voted democrat. No need to urge him to run against Todd Young cause they are cut from the same cloth.

Todd Young was a Marine?

Yes, he was apparently asleep.when they were instructing the recruits about honor.

 

[Dim Mak]

I'm a Marine, so...

#MeToo ; )

Todd Young certainly doesn’t support anyone else than himself!
What has he done substantially for the benefit of Indiana?
What has he accomplished to protect our rights under the 2nd Amendment?

Almost anyone is better than Todd Young.
There was a lot of bitching about voting for him on this board last cycle, but he got voted in to try to keep Schumer out of leadership role. That didn't work, so the logic is to get started now trying to find a conservative to primary Todd Young in four years.

He was elected to keep Schumer from having another vote in the senate. That did work. It also would have been necessary to keep Schumer out of the majority leader role if other races had gone better for conservatives.

Other than @DadSmith no one was touting, funding and working to get a better candidate on the primary ballot. The most complaints did not get rolling until a month before the general election. It takes a few years of work to get a candidate on the primary ballot. Posters in INGO never seem to care until a month or so before the general election...

The first time I met him was when he was running for congress, I liked him, and him being a Marine, sealed the deal......Now he's turned into a putz, and a RINO, I foresee a "None of the above" vote for me. WTF has happened to him?

 

[TheGhostRider]

Todd is a shill… a commie as far as I’m concerned.
He should go play in traffic.

Wasn't Todd Young a Marine?

I'm way on board with that. Full disclosure, I'm probably the biggest bitcher of all when it comes to him. He throws out the I'm a marine thing but has no honor. I was listening to Casey Hendrickson on 1190a.m on Friday and he said that Indiana will be blue or a swing state in ten years. I hope we have that long.
