Episode 141 — Another Lame Episode Where Dave Tells Everyone To Vote Harder (May 19th)

Show notes

With just 8 days until the critical May 19 North Idaho Primary, The Backlash cuts through the noise.

We break down the hottest races on the ballot, show you how to read yard signs for real grassroots momentum, and expose who’s actually organized versus who’s just pretending.

North Idaho Pastor Paul Van Noy is now in full damage-control mode after rescinding his own endorsements of precinct committeemen who signed the pro-abortion initiative. The same candidates he previously recommended and backed. Looks like egg is firmly planted on his face — preaching “no compromise” now after he helped platform them in the first place. So much for discernment from the pulpit.

We also examine the spectacular collapse of Ohio candidate Casey Putsch’s campaign and the hard lessons it holds for North Idaho conservatives about tone, discipline, and avoiding self-inflicted wounds.

Finally, a straight-talk reality check: How early should you really start campaigning if you want to win in North Idaho? (Hint: If you’re not already working — and vetting people properly — you’re already behind.)

This is must-listen for every voter who’s tired of leaders who talk tough after the fact.The Backlash — No RINOs. No Compromise. No Excuses.
