Look at how they let Congressman Col. Allen West hang out to dry by changing his Congressional District boundaries to one more Democrat populated. And where is he now? He's the Chair of the Texas Republican Party. A national figure. Our loss. Our fault.

Our leaders play the game of feigning warfare by awakening from their slumber every two years at election time, attempting to rally up the troops for the next election or sitting down at Party dinners listening to speakers drone on about our "superior values," while the likes of Ted Deutch, Lois Frankel and Debbie Schultz knock out each of our contenders, without throwing one punch.

This has to end. Waving signs is no substitute for a well planned, issue centered campaign with attractive, articulate, well informed candidates schooled by knowledgeable party operatives. Our office seekers must be well prepared to batter their shallow, over confident, unprincipled Democrat light weights who now monopolize South Florida's House seats. They rule!!

We must emulate our enemies by using their successful techniques, not whining and moaning that their methods are shameful and brutal. The brilliant politician, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, had it right: "If you see anybody from that Trump Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

President Obama, not a slacker in the ring went one uppercut better: "If they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun." They have no qualms in urging their troops to engage in harassment, be it physical or by using lies as they did to drown Trump with waves of calling him a traitor, keeping him on the defensive and back pedaling for over four years of constant one-two punches.

They know how to win. We don't. We lose.

It's now less than two years before another congressional election and we're doing nothing in preparation to win. Why are we letting Deutch, Frankel and Schultz waltz around unchallenged, unpressured, unconcerned, piling up bucks and votes without a care in the world?

Why isn't Deutch pinned up against the ropes for his silence at calling out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who sits right next to him on a House committee, for her flagrant, frequent Jew hating...
