Holocaust Denier Will Be GOP Nominee In Illinois Congressional Race - Polidicks

Hitler would be laughing his ass off right about now to see that Nazism is still alive, if not well, in America. Even if this scum was the only guy who qualified to run, I wouldn't let him near any elections with a ten foot stick if I had the chance. We don't need to give the likes of him even this kind of validation.

[quote]The Illinois Republican Party condemned Jones. “We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office, including the 3rd Congressional District,” party chairman Tim Schneider told the Sun-Times. In 2016, the state party successfully challenged the signatures Jones gathered to get on the ballot. But this time, both the party and Jones’s two possible Democratic opponents have said that his signatures appear valid.

Just sad that he can claim the republican ticket since nobody even tries there anymore. Must have been soul-crushing to him on the announcement of the US moving the embassy to Jerusalem, or just doing any research into Trump's Judaic-ties with his daughter and son-in-law.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;53108549]I don't understand how this works. Why can't Republicans just field their own candidate and not have this wackjob ruin their party's image?[/QUOTE] They didn't think the election worth spending the money on because a democrat will win

[QUOTE=Tudd;53109276]Luckily he is going to easily lose in that district.[/QUOTE] Where have I heard that before

[QUOTE=Murkrow;53109943]Where have I heard that before[/QUOTE] That district is heavily democratic; if the GOP thinks a mainstream republican can't win then I doubt a fringe Nazi will either

This is [I]my [/I]district! Wooooo! That explains all of the political phone calls I've been getting this week calling the opposition literal nazis. Turns out they were right! Who knew? I guess that means I get to give my parents shit when they inevitably vote along party lines. [editline]5th February 2018[/editline] [QUOTE=Murkrow;53109943]Where have I heard that before[/QUOTE] As hilarious as it would be to be represented by an actual nazi, this district has been rigged and gerrymandered to elect blue for a looooong time.

[QUOTE=proboardslol;53110009]That district is heavily democratic; if the GOP thinks a mainstream republican can't win then I doubt a fringe Nazi will either[/QUOTE] there are some districts that have to be minority majority, its kind of the problem with outlawing gerrymandering.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;53111590]The third district isn't even that bad. The 4th? [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/9UJ02q4.jpg[/IMG] wew[/QUOTE] It feels like most gerrymandering would be pretty easily stopped by just not allowing district shapes to be concave (by more than 100 m at least to prevent cutting buildings in half). Only issue is that corner cases would immediately be found and then all of a sudden every case would be a corner case.

Vote in 2018, because there is still a very small chance that this fucker can win. A 99.9% chance of winning still means there is a 0.1% chance of losing.

nazis deserve a boot in the ass not a goddang megaphone, CNN

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;53117926]why did they even entertain this nut in the first place. Why are you giving Nazis a platform CNN this is idiotic[/QUOTE] Because it makes GOP look bad. Easy and simple.

I am not sure how I can express my disgust at Holocaust deniers, people like Hoffman and the aforementioned person.

Hahahaha what the actual fuck, wow - they couldn't find anyone else at all to give this to? I'm sure [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stubbs_%28cat%29"]Stubbs[/URL] would've been a better candidate to win than this fossilised manure pile.

Something something blues brothers

There's a lot of people in here who don't understand how this works and think that just because he's the nominee, that the GOP supports him. They don't, and he's not affiliated with them, they've denounced him already. He's only the nominee because he was the only candidate that ran on the GOP ticket. the GOP doesn't run anyone there because a thoroughly blue district and there's no point in wasting the money.

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;53117926]why did they even entertain this nut in the first place. Why are you giving Nazis a platform CNN this is idiotic[/QUOTE] I disagree. CNN isn't giving just some random Nazi airtime, they are giving a congressional candidate air time. I think it's good of them to do this so people are informed of how he even got into this position in the first place, because I honestly didn't think this was possible. [editline]9th February 2018[/editline] Maybe it will stir some local interest in the Republicans to actually put up a fight.
