28. The GQP's ultimate goal is to have the states, nationwide, be governed
By Republican governors with Republican legislatures.

What part of that equation are we not getting here?

Every Democratic governor that has been attacked or maligned is a direct result of this overall goal, of having all of the states in the USA be The Republican States of America.

This has been a goal for years and it appears as though recently they are applying their favorite tactic to achieve it, "by any means necessary."

If you aren't voted out by voter suppression, then they will start a petition for recall or try to kidnap you or in this case, I believe, find any way to sully your name.

Snip...
