RANT OF THE DAY: One-size-fits-all House sweepstakes.
First, we'll give you an executive summary of Monday's 60-minute debate featuring seven of the eight Republicans who want to represent much of Northwest Georgia in Congress.
Democrats are bad. Beware of socialists. China is bad. Guns are good. Finish the wall. Immigration is bad. Trump: best.president.ever. We're outsiders. And did we say Democrats are bad?
