Grover Norquist says laziness, not Trump, responsible for GOP midterm election losses

Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform, said that President Trump was not to blame for many Republicans losing their seats to Democrats.

He singled out Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., who last month lost the Orange County seat he had held since 1989.

“Trump is not the reason Dana Rohrabacher didn’t do any work,” Grover Norquist told the Washington Examiner editorial board. “Dana hasn’t done any work since before he could spell 'Trump' in that seat.”

Norquist, a veteran conservative activist, linked Rohrabacher, who will cease being the representative for California's 48th Congressional District next month, to other Republicans who concentrated on building a national image rather than focusing on their districts, naming Fox News favorites Allen West and Michelle Bachmann.

Any California seat is a bad example.

Dana got too complacent,and too clever for his own good.

--Voted against taax cut bill.

--Says home sellers should be able to refuse selling to homosexuals. Lost support from Real Estate Associations. This is 2018, not 1862. We have had federal and state "fair housing laws" for decades.


Dana may think this stance appeals to some, but only a narrow fraction.

But his loss was just one of many, and cheating is very suspect.
