Jack is a self-made man,&#8221; Bellavia said. &#8220;He&#8217;s a guy who will leave his factory to his workers when he dies. He&#8217;s right on immigration. He&#8217;s right on jobs. The issues that I disagree with Jack, I disagree with all three [candidates]. There&#8217;s not one pro-life candidate in this race.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In fact, David and I had an email exchange with one of the influential advocacy groups last night in regards to whether they should support  Jane Corwin or not. David told his horror story of his experiences with the GOP and Corwin machine when he was trying to run a fourth party campaign.  I know how important it is that we put a Republican in that seat, but the Monroe County GOP doesn&#8217;t deserve the seat because of their ham-handed behavior in this race. <\/p>\n<p>Let this put all of the local GOP committees on notice when they pick their candidates next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TSO sends us this link from the Weekly Standard in regards to David Bellavia; &#8220;I will &hellip; <a title=\"Bellavia tosses GOP under bus\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=23342\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bellavia tosses GOP under bus<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[478],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-none"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23342\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
