Chris Collins needs to go

Congressman Chris Collins is unfit to serve in government. Period.
If he were a Democrat, he would have been drummed right out of office.
Look at the Democrats in  Congress that left because of the MeToo movement.
Other politicians have left office because of insider trading issues.

However, he is a Republican and that means a different  standard must be put up. 
Rare is it that Republicans leave office quietly after being indicted.
And I know that an indictment does not mean guilty, but look at the evidence that his associated benefited from knowledge that he had.

However,  the capitalist class needs its pawns, & Chris Collins is all too willing to throw his constituents under the bus for the 1%.

When he did drop out of the race, it was very telling that the replacement candidate was going to  be chosen behind closed doors by the regional party elite rather than holding a special election to determine the interests of the voters.  I do not write that as supporting the Republican Party but more in supporting the principles of democracy.  The people need to decide, not party elites. It is i teresting to see that the smoke filled room extends far beyond the hallls of power in Albany. They infect the gerrymandered districts all around us.

And the running scared mentality of the party by bringing in the extremist agitator "Loose cannon" Steve Bannon to rally the party faithful & true believers was a poor choice & a disaster in  the making.  We do not need racist agitators in WNY.  Wherever he shows,  democratic minded individuals  (note the small "d") need to protest his presence. 

I do not endorse his opponent  at all. I am not i  the district and will not do so. We all know that the Democrats & Republicans are the two faces of the capitalist class.

In any event,  he needs to drop out & let the voters decide who shall represent the district.
