In age of Trump, Democrats resort to running as faux Republicans to ‘get a foot in the door’

In age of Trump, Democrats resort to running as faux Republicans to ‘get a foot in the door’

Stalking horses or sincere concerns with issues? Democrats are running as Republicans with increasing frequency as their polling shows that many of their hallmark issues are not popular with voters. Ronan's past public statements urged Democrats to "infiltrate Republican spaces," "primary them," and run as Republicans in "deep red districts" to "get a foot in the door."

As Democrats struggle to find popular messages with voters, another case of a Democrat candidate running as a Republican quickly reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which prevented the candidate from being on the ballot. "I'm glad that people are paying attention because this same game may be coming to your state," Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose told Just The News.

The Ohio case is the latest instance of a Democrat parading as a Republican, with recent similar cases in North Carolina and Texas. Samuel Ronan, whose case LaRose referred to as "political transgenderism," attempted to run in a Republican primary for Ohio's 15th Congressional District in the 2026 cycle.

His candidacy against incumbent GOP Rep. Mike Carey, required him to sign a sworn declaration of candidacy under penalty of election falsification affirming he was a member of the Republican Party and intended to support its principles.

A very dangerous tactic for any Democrat trying to run as a stalking horse in a deep red District.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

From the Congressional GOP's performance, the question is one of when this started?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

All I can tell you is that it started here in Texas over thirty years ago and we have been fighting it ever since.
