An excellent campaign tactic

More dumbasses like this please...

Seems New Jersey republican congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, in a letter to Lakeland Bank seeking campaign donations, complained that one of their employees was an activist against the Trump agenda of tax cuts for the rich, fascism, white supremacy, rank incompetence, and general idiocy.  The employee was later called on the carpet by her boss and the company's CEO, and because of the blowback, she eventually resigned.

Believe it or not, I really like this campaign tactic from Rep. Frelinghuysen.  Outside of family, there are few things that are more important to average Americans than their job, as it is their means--and often their children's sole means--of survival.  Now I've read some comments on this, and while republicans were generally supportive, unfortunately for Rep. Frelinghuysen, they only make up 40-45% of voters.  And I'm pretty sure that other 55-60% of voters are going to be extremely bothered by having to wonder if by not falling in lockstep with a candidate they are going to lose their jobs.

Somewhere, right now, I'm sure there's some smart son of a bitch in New Jersey already preparing ads for October and November of 2018 reminding that 55-60% just how much Rep. Frelinghuysen cares about their families' welfare vis a vis whether or not they agree with him politically.

They could probably use some footage of some reality show host saying "You're fired...."

Fuck Donald Trump,
