Anthony Gonzalez (OH-16) was one of the ten House republicans (pictured above) who voted to impeach President Trump. As President Trump announced his support for Gonzalez’s challenger, Max Miller, former House Speaker John Boehner went to Ohio to support Gonzalez. Apparently the support of Paul Ryan and John Boehner was not enough to help. Max Miller was in position to primary Gonzalez.
Tonight, Gonzalez conceded his seat:
Welcome news for sure!
God bless Max Miller!
I live in Ohio and went to Ohio State. Gonzales was always okay when he played football for OSU. Now that commie traitor should swing from a tree. So glad it got beat. We had no idea he was such a muttonhead.
He should be exiled to that state up north.
He should be sent there like Snake Pliskin to remove the rot. 36 hours or the shots in your neck blow up.
To our half of Lake Superior.
Agreed. Make him wear Michigan gear for the rest of his life.
Being a traitor to the Republic, it shouldn’t trouble him to be a traitor to something as trivial as his alma mater.
Maybe Tony BALDzalez was smokin’ what his fellow Clevelander and former Buckeye teammate QB Troy Smith was pushin’.
Nine more to go…
Trump’s endorsed candidate in Wyoming has just about cleared the field, so Liz is toast.
LOL, don’t worry Mitch will come to the rescue…LMFAO…cuz remember Mitch said Trump doesn’t get to nominate and endorse our candidates—-lol, Mitch you endorsed Anthony and Liz…and both are failing bigly while the guy who you say doesn’t get to do that candidates are doing very well.
Mitch McConnell is the prime one that needs to be primaried. And then prosecuted for his activities with China. Oh how I dream of him being the B of some mouth breathing Neanderthal in prison!
KY needs Thomas Massive to run for Senate. Smartest guy in Congress, and is today’s version of Thomas Jefferson.
Video is called “Off the Grid”.
Great video, thanks for posting. After watching it all the way through, I would vote for Thomas Massie for any office he might run for; even president!
….one of the most impressive, truly revealing videos I’ve ever watched on this site. The “signal”, or for those in Peoria, the “POINT” is so profound…..that if you don’t get it, bury yourself in the snow and perish.
I’d love to hear that Mitch ends up like Mr. Shibetta from Oz (HBO Series-vulgar language):
Watching this unfolding drama is…SO MUCH FUN !
I think we have a lot more to go. All the establishment Rino’s need to go.
Yep, ‘the ten’ is just a start. We have to get rid of McConnell & the other Decepticons.
And then there were nine.
Let’s hope this is just a beginning and that we’ll get seats filled with MAGA fighters.
A slog, Leon, and only a slog.
One day at a time, one seat at a time.
America is such an easy country in which to thrive and succeed. I took that as the message of the movie Forrest Gump.
Anthony Gonzalez is the embodiment of Forrest Gump. A first-round NFL draft pick, this dweeb failed upwards into a seat in Congress.
This is not the world, the reality of 99% of human existence. Life is tough, life is hard, America is the utterly blessed place. AOC or Anthony Gonzalez are oblivious to this profound truth.
Oblivious, or willfully destructive?
Blackmailed/brainwashed
by all the glam/hype- either way these traitors sold their soul – TREASON.
I’ve sadly arrived at the revelation that mainstream Democrats, and I guess RINOs, are anarchists. After they destroy America and the American dream, something beautiful will magically follow. You cannot reason with such superstition.
Agreed.
Exactly … the actual example of your comment … Afghanistan … the “written plan” confirmed a magnificent event followed by a “mission accomplished” photo extravaganza on 9/11 … then … the reality of the plan unfolded before America and the world as a nightmare of horrendous evil and failure.
RATS fix their evil by ignoring it.
And changing the subject! Isn’t it funny that all of this time has gone by and Durham has done nothing and now when Dems need more distractions he comes forward with ONE indictment? Should we be grateful or suspicious or just plain bored? Enter right, suspicious cat! At this rate will anyone who was involved in the quest for justice still be alive to care?
Exactly, color me suspicious.
Durham is not a real person. Somebody found this photo and used it to perpetuate the myth that SOMEBODY is doing SOMETHING. What a crock. A five year old could not have taken this long to unravel the entire plot to take Trump down.
Need 3-4 in the Senate. Really make some noise.
I just saw the news posted on The Donald (patriots.win)!!!!
This jackass is my Rep, glad to see him walk away, his numbers must have been very bad. Republicans here are Trump supporters and he would have never won the primary.
I can’t believe he would think Boehner’s endorsement would have helped him. Boehner is a crying joke RINO himself. Didn’t he end up lobbying for the Chinese?
My county GOP would have never supported him and I know the Strongsville group is very MAGA.
not sure of the CCP but he DID start lobbying for pot growers after he left Congress…that shows where his head is
This is what I remember:
JOHN BOEHNER CASHES OUT, JOINS CORPORATE LOBBYING FIRM THAT REPRESENTS CHINA
https://theintercept.com/2016/09/20/john-boehner-china/
Oh, cannabis, how conservative!
Cannibis Cannibust! Boehner’s epitaph.
Because he didn’t already have enough money.
Gonzo is gone. Yea! Boehner always appeared to me to be a drunk. His red glassy eyes were a dead giveaway. Is that how a person survives in DC? Maybe you have to be tipsy all of the time to swallow the garbage DC dishes up. And, in order to maintain the status quo and keep the money flowing into your pockets. Not a good way to live your best life.
Wow. I’m really feeling snarky this morning.
I’m from Strongsville, lived here almost all my life. This worm Gonzales was simply a carpet bagger. With the help of The Donald, we are free of this guy. One of the proudest moments of my life was the day we ran Obama outta town! I’ll never forget watching him speed thru the gauntlet of yellow flags with his head down in some paperwork! Well done Strongsville Patriots! And GOD bless PRESIDENT Donald J Trump!!!
Strongsville GOP is very strong! Went to one of their movies at the BW3 a few months ago, although I’m not in Strongsville. I like them much better than my country GOP. I wanted to go on their “boots on the ground” meeting to see their strategy and get back to my county GOP. I’m linked on their emails through the county GOP, supposedly they’ve joined forces. My county GOP’s functions mostly contain of very expensive fundraisers.
I did not vote for the carpet bagger in the primaries, I did vote for Christina Hagan who I think is trying for a different district. She’s a little carpet bagging herself flitting around. That Timken sure promoted Gonzales and now she’s trying for Senator but I hope Mandell blows her out of the water.
Vance, who was an anti-Trumper, has been calling me for phone Town Halls, I don’t know where he got my number, he must get access to Ohio GOP. Mandell better get his game on because I listen in and he’s sounding all pro-America but I don’t trust him due to his previous stance. He never mentions President Trump. I think he’s a splitter.
Josh Mandel is the real deal. He was a Marine and did an outstanding job as Ohio State Treasurer–brought transparency to that office. He is a strong Trump and America First guy. I heard him speak recently in Brecksville. He has an “88 county” strategy– going in person everywhere in Ohio.
1. Vance is the splitter to stop Mandel and allow Timken to win (she won’t but that’s their plan.)
2. Hagan hasn’t moved. Her district did. Christina lives near Alliance, Ohio, in sort of a geographic no-man’s-land between Akron/Canton/Warren/Youngstown area. They’ve changed those political district boundaries several times where she lives.
She is very strong and would have crushed drunken Tim Ryan if not for the fact Ryan & Hagan’s district contains all of the City of Akron and Youngstown which is difficult for Republicans.
3. The steaming turd in Ohio is Joe Blystone the fake cowboy. He needs removed from the Ohio GOP primary. He’s a plant to hurt Jim Renacci and help Mike DeRINO.
I love Christina Hagan. I think she is a true Conservative. Not sure about Mandel yet, but I think Jim Renacci is a RINO.
Renacci was my Rep before Gonzales when he tried to run for Governor but then was asked by President Trump to run against Brown when Mandell stepped out of the Senate race. He was a Trump supporter then, now he’s chair of my county GOP. He had held town hall phone calls, too, as a Rep and many times had held firm to Constitutional values when asked leftie questions, “why can’t we…”, he’d always say his constituents do not want that. President Trump has said Renacci was an early supporter.
I really hope he has a campaign this time around. Nobody outside of my district knew much of him and the RNC did NOT help.
Well, Y-Town and Akron are two cities with large swaths of the population either on the government dole via the government cheese program, the government free housing program, the government free paycheck program, or they are the ones the “Meth Zone” signs are warning you about…although, I believe it’s more heroin now rather than meth.
The family still lives in Lowellville which is adjacent to Ytown, Struthers, and Cambell.
Well, I did vote for her over that faker returning from California who was recruited! Jim Jordan had endorsed her.
“Apparently the support of Paul Ryan and John Boehner was not enough to help. “
LOL! If only they’d sent in Judas Pence. Maybe that would’ve helped? 😉
HAH! The triple play fiasco….Sometimes a cigar is going to blow up in your face.
Good ground report. I like hearing this kind of info from cth patriots.
Thanks
And Mitch’s endorsement too…
Stark County just used our tax money to buy Dominion voting machines. So sick of this fraud!
Oh, no, what were they thinking???!!!
We got rid of Dominion before the election, and had replaced it with Electronic systems and software. I don’t think that one is that trustworthy either.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. What a dumkopf he is.
What happens to these people when they go to Washington? They no longer represent their constituents and don’t even realize how popular President Trump remains because of his focus on the people. What happens that they think they know better than we do?
Another Treeper mentioned something to the effect that it must be in the water.
I think the problem is that some may go up there with good intentions but are overwhelmed with all the corruption. You start thinking, why did I sign up for this. If your ideas doesn’t fit the Rhino’s beliefs, you are cast aside. Money flows freely in Washington and most will swing to their side when the green backs are offered. Just imagine, you go up with a couple hundred thousand and the chances of becoming a millionaire is very enticing.
Changing out these people one or two at a time, thinking there is going to be a change, is wishful thinking.
Short answer? RINOs are the left’s controlled opposition.
TLDR
They don’t care what you think, they just have to pretend to care, and tell you what you want to hear.
In other words…
The left has to pretend not to know things.
The right has to pretend to believe the left.
This creates a symbiotic relationship, known here on CTH as, the Uniparty.
RINOs are the left’s controlled opposition.
“ The left has to pretend not to know things.
The right has to pretend to believe the left.”
This is the post of the day.
You know who is most well known on the right who pretends to believe the left is Mickey-Mouse-on-laughing-gas Ben Shapiro. I always wonder how a guy who is obviously intelligent can take the left at face value. Bongino is his Fredo. They are in on it, pretending the left means well but are misguided. It’s really quite sickening.
Thanks for saying this.
He’s controlled opposition. Notice he never gets censored on youtube or social media? Notice he gets to go on FOX regularly?
I’ve never once heard Bongino take the left at face value- he is constantly saying these are evil people with evil ideas.
Sorry, not once have I heard Bongino support them or take them at face value. What he does do- require proof before he jumps in on things……IDK how you can even say that about Dan. Now, Ben, yes….he does do that.
Just last month he was criticizing the left for being so “stupid” to believe that child care is what is keeping workers at home. How does he not see that is a feature, not a flaw? I think he does and he’s pretending.
We keep thinking that when the worm turns there’ll be a butterfly instead of just a bigger badder WORM! That said, I refuse to give up believing that there IS a way out of hell. I still trust God and have faith in Him. Momentary lapses aside, we must not look away.
DC is The Nexus Ribbon from the Star Trek movie. Relatively normal people go there and are instantly corrupted, intimidated, swallowed up by it.
The uniparty picks your staff, controls if you ever get on a committee, and controls all the RNC re-election funds. They either put you in a corner or control you in you’re a House member.
Only if you let them. They don’t have to let them do any of that….elected officials can just do their own staffs and take charge…but, it’s hard to turn down that welcome gift of pre-staffed offices and goods.
Look at this guy, giving an interview to the failing NYT!
“Gonzalez, 36, gave an interview to the New York Times about his departure from office in which he called Trump “a cancer for the country.” He told the publication he believed he could have won what would have been “a brutally hard primary” against Miller, but said he would not want to return to the House of Representatives if it meant continuing to serve in a Trump dominated Republican caucus.”

Get out of town and go back to California! The Big Club GOPe recruited this guy to run anyway!
Ohio Republican party asked him to resign, too, he had no support. He wouldn’t have won.
Good for Ohio GOP for asking this dweeb to leave.
So stupid he needed to be ASKED.
Clue.Less.
Oh boy, I hope we don’t see Gonzo on Fox news as some kind of analyst!!
He was only in Congress for two years before turning traitor! He is no expert but they wouldn’t care.
Ya gotta luv Gonzo….. anyone who disagrees with Democrats mascarading as Republicans is a “toxic dynamic”.
Begone.
Well played Max Miller and PDT!!
“Another one bites the dust”!
Buh-bye!
Total Bastard Airlines, unforgettable!
One down, nine to go. Take em’down one at a time.
In other words, “Getting rich while feeding at the public trough, f**king over my constituents, and building a safe future for myself within the shadow government (presumably as a senator with a seat on a powerful committee) is no longer a viable career path.”
Elected 2018 with 57%. That didn’t take long.
Great and welcome news indeed. On to the next one.
Has Mitch McConnell contacted him to run against the GOP yet?
I’m waiting for the rogue replublican who casts Manchin’s denied vote for the One Last Rape of the American Taxpayer Before the Whole Thing Goes Down the Drain bill. Thinking that will be easier for leadership than bribing Manchin at this point. I’m sure Turtleneck has his minions burning up the phones.
Remember the last hold out on Obamasnare and his qualms about abortion?
The vote was “bipartisan”.
Far bottom left, Van Taylor of Texas. Weak defense of supporting the 6 Jan commission. My district and on my list to oust. Need someone worthy to challenge him!
Valadao for me.
Dave Joyce from Lake County Ohio for me
Nine to go.
I am still very curious why all these RINO’s have done what they did and still are doing in the face of losing their seats. I can’t believe they are truly this stupid and unaware of who voted them into office, and what Trumps support is.
Were each of these promised something from someone?
Yes, a couple are as dumb as fence posts, but others, rather than trying to salvage themselves and any political future, they seem to just keep digging their holes deeper.
Why?
Not sure why, but can the replacements beat the machines?
I swear I could win a Congressional race, with no experience and little knowledge of the law, simply by saying “I’m going to go to Washington, play the games, live the life…and then in 2 years I’m gonna come back and tell you everything that goes on there and explain how they turn Republicans to mush.”
It appears that’s what MTG is doing.
If you like phishing for RINOs, try Greenebait.
I had a quick civics lesson when my local GOP chapter was invited to Lansing, MI for governor Rick Snyder’s State of the State address in 2013. When we arrived at our state senator’s offices, we were given an itinerary to great gobstoppers of food and drink, on the house, at a number of offices, restaurants, and bars. By the time we sat down to watch (on CCTV) Snyder’s address, many of us were still absorbing the magnitude of the hospitality offered by, and paid for, by lobbying firms.
And all the handshakes for us, the ignorant rubes. (And all the bottles of hand sanitizer at the offices in 2013. We were having a bad flu season that year. How quaint.)
This is state level mind you. By the time I got home, I understood for the first time that our elected leaders live in a world of their own, perpetuated by daily stroking and cash infusions that we can’t even begin to fathom.
It is a bubble. The newbies are quickly acclimated.
Be clear on one point. Your vote, your voice, any input you think democracy allows you in our Republic is completely drowned out by an army of lawyer generals who command an infantry of fundraisers.
Google lobbying firms. It’s not just a page. It’s an endless series of “next” buttons.
We have our work cut out for us. It’s so hard to tell where autocracy ends and ideology begins.
The system is clearly imploding on itself.
There’s a call for building a parallel network and leaving this dying dinosaur in the dust.
PT called out K street lobbyists at the first debate back in 2015/16. They booed him.
I didn’t think he would beat the machines in 2016. No insurgent usually makes it past the legacy news defamation campaigns. We just saw it with Larry Elder. Ideology, skin color, gender…doesn’t matter. It’s fake hate.
I just vote for the candidate the legacy media hates, they practically beg me to vote for them by doing that.
I always look/vote for the legacy media’s…”Hitler”. If you see Hitler…black hitler, white hitler, transgender hitler, female hitler…hold your nose if you have to, but “vote for Hitler!” /s
Everything woke…turns to
chitHitler. YMMV.RINOs are the left’s controlled opposition.
Good point. It’s incredible how either the traitors are very obtuse, the swamp has these RINOs by the ball sack, or they are just hungry for what the Pelosi’s and McConnell’s have because you would think after seeing multiple colleagues fail, they would wake up.
I thought we needed to get rid of 35 members from the house. Am I right or wrong?
Looks like there’ll be four primary challengers attempting to unseat Michigan’s favorite RINO, Fred Upton; a RINO and a DINO (as in dinosaur). Trump-endorsed Steve Cara appears to be the top contender at this time. We smell trickery here: the other three challengers could be fakers put on the ballot for the sole purpose of drawing votes away from Cara.
We are concerned too many primary voters will just randomly pick ANYONE other than Upton; in doing so, the vote will be so dispersed, Cara won’t have enough to make it. Based on past performance, even now, Upton can easily bring in 30%, but Cara is going to have a struggle should even just one of the of the other three challengers bag 20%; let’s say the other two get something like 11 % (for a combined 42%), leaving Cara with the remaining 28% — not enough to beat Upton.
A lot could happen between now and election day, we’d expect at least one of the other challengers to drop out due to lack of campaign funding. Still, Cara is statistically in a bad place.
What COULD improve his odds is to leverage the Trump support and campaign as real MAGA fire-breather. He needs some serious conservative media exposure NOW. Gotta get his platform together and aggressively fight for spots with people like Steve Bannon, Bongino, maybe Ingraham, OAN, America’s Real Voice, etc. Maybe get some photo-ops with MTG. Just one mention from Kane over at CFP will make him go viral across the net.
As this is our district, the Borg will see what they can do for Mr. Cara, we have vast resources.
It’s challenging living in a world where information by osmosis is the CNN model. To paraphrase a famous American writer, “News can travel halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on.” Engage and inform. It’s the best we have, unless we’re ready for rebellion, and that gets messy before it gets better.
Lame excuses, still believes the stolen election was a big lie, and that Trump isn’t in touch with the “real” grass roots of the party. Good riddance.
With friends like Boehner and Ryan, they’re probably lining him up for a lobbying position.
On second thought, he’s not a big enough fish.
It’s incredible how these out of touch fools think they have a better grip on the grass roots of the party.
Good news for those of us here in the Buckeye State! As Chrissie Hynde sang, “Hey, oh, way to go Ohio…”
Don’t let the door hit your a** on the way out, you vile seditious RINO. *spits on the ground*
And another one bites the dust. If the stupid party is able to win a majority in the midterm the Hugest thing that could happen would be to get a non RINO in the speakership. Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy types are totally unacceptable.
Be vewy , vewy quiet.
I am hunting RINOs
heh heh heh heh heh
I think that we need to use something like the “Fudd” reference above
to rally the troops. Who is in our sights. Anyone else like the idea?
As Trump was wont to say, “You’re fired.”
Is John Boehner still a drunk?
He doesn’t drink anymore.
But he also doesn’t drink any less.
So, yes.
A wealthy drunk living in FL in a million dollar condo provided by his years of ‘public service.’
Nothing like the support of…”John BONER”…to assure one of NEVER winning again !
The Great People of Ohio, have handed Mr. Gonzales his hat, as he left the building !
Ridding the republican party “one bozo at a time”, will take some time but
removing ALL of the RINOS must be accomplished.
GOODBYE FELICIA…INDEED !
“More time with family” LOL
Its all in the MAGA! We are fam il y. Torch and burn.
MAGA!!!
“If we didn’t have RINOs, the Republican Party would totally dominate politics.

Every one of them needs to be ousted. That includes McCarthy, who isn’t on the list. And then for the Senate. Pierre Delecto needs to go, McTurtle the traitor also. Sasse, Commie Collins, the Feinstein slave from Alaska, among others.
Besides being a uniparty RINO who stabbed his conservative constituents in the back, his other stupid decision was having Paul Ryan & John Boehner come & support him!! As an Ohio conservative, I can tell you we can’t stand Boehner & his support is a definite reason not to support any candidate he endorses! Ryan has also shown himself to be a really big uniparty globalist POS!!!
Yes, there’s a toxic dynamic in the party congressman. It’s you and the rest of the RINO Uniparty Decepticons.
Good riddance!
“ Apparently the support of Paul Ryan and John Boehner was not enough to help.”
That’s like bringing AIDS and Cancer to support a case of The Sniffles.
Did Boehner cry?
The first good decision AJ has made in a while re his political career! As his constituent, I am glad he is finally facing reality and getting out of the way! What a disappointment he turned out to be.
Congratulate to max Miller,
still nine GOP Rino to get Rid of ,
‘Bye Felicia.’ Hoo boy, there are times I wish I was back on Twitter. Can you imagine hundreds of that meme on his page when he wakes??
With the actions of Boehner and Ryan, it is readily apparent that the republican country club never cared about what what its voters truly wanted. They were and are democrat lite progressives with no consideration to what honest Americans believe.. Are most Republican politicians merely democrats with an R next to their names? Seems like it.
If their official picture shows them wearing a blue tie or wearing a dress they are deep state and don’t vote for them no matter which party the supposedly represent.
Hope the backstabbing was worth it.?????????????????
The ability of a politician to rationalize the failure of his/her representation of his/her constituency is beyond the pale as evidenced by his concession letter; but Anthony can always run as a Boehner democrat.
MAGA.
One down, many hundreds to go at the state and federal level.
Well that is one POS RINO down. May he live in squalor for the rest of his life.
Well….. Bye.
What an arrogant piece of low grade rat manure! “Toxic”??? As if he and his treasonous peers are not directly involved in creating this cesspool of corruption, while selling out our country. I suppose it only becomes “toxic” when we rise up fight back!!?? ???
His arrogance is toxic. It’s that or he is clueless. Either way it’s time to go and raise his commie family. Maybe get some gender changes for his kids.
You know something just dawned on me this morning. I guess its along the lines of what President Trump is doing. Instead of each state picking their representatives, the voters in that state listen to the input of all those in other states too. Let’s face it. With the ‘sticking to party lines’ in congress we’re all impacted by any and all reps sent to congress. I would imagine the voters would be better informed then listening to the sells of the politicians. I’m sure a lot of you already realized that but I travel at a slow speed.
