If we are stuck with the same crop of uni-party Republicans this time next year, it will all be the result of our intractable laziness.

That and a withering state county GOP committee system

What we are doing is not working. Sorry, but Trump backs RINOs

 

He does. Trump will pick a RINO as his VP. Angry Trumpers have branded every possible candidate from Nikki to Noem to Vivek and more as RINO's. And they won't vote for Trump if he picks a RINO.

Trump backs winners. He'll support a RINO who wins over a MAGA champion who loses -- all day long.

I'm surprised some conservatives haven't figured this out yet.

Trump picks the most electable candidate that tell him they agree with him on his big issues. He or his wing of the party needs to be recruiting candidates in each winnable district. Rove doing that is what’s keep the Establishment-side alive.

Working hard to support a massive gaggle of deadbeats is tiring.

“Sorry, but Trump backs RINOs”

I’ll still be voting for DJT. But come January 20, 2025 if he hasn’t learned his lesson about the RINOs and their duplicity then he deserves everything they do to him.

already has here in Arkansas - we had the chance to primary the RINO/turncoat Womack for the 3rd Congressional District... and conservatives simply didn’t even show up to vote... Never mind that our judicial elections are settled in the primary as well -

I appreciate your point and am dismayed by the types of Republicans that are electable in blue states. I still am agreeing with Buckley’s rule that we support the most conservative Republican who can get elected, since the Dem will almost certainly be a worse choice, if we run unelectable “perfect” candidates. Perfect in most every way except electability. Please feel free to change my mind here, I’m open to hearing flaws in reasoning here.

” Yes.

“Conservatives” in every country have been in a coma for 100+ years.

“A whopping 24 of the 31 GOP senators who voted for the Ukraine grift have been endorsed by Trump...”

Is the definition of a RINO that he votes to support Ukraine in its war against Russia? I think not. I suspect that Trump himself will sign a bill authorizing more aid to Ukraine after he’s sworn in. He has been very cagey on whether he supports Ukraine. But his comments about this have been primarily designed to motivate the Europeans to chip in more aid, and it has worked. I doubt that he would want to show weakness by bailing out on Ukraine at this point. More likely, he will want to show Putin (and Xi) who is boss.

Anybody notice in their respective states a dearth of conservative Republican candidates for lower offices? Especially so-called ‘blue states’?

Here in MA, there are very few repubs running for state rep, state sinate, governor’s council.

I believe it is 2020 fallout - conservatives living thru ‘The Steal’, and having extremely little enthusiasm to enter local races.

Yet, I still maintain the glass is Full/Full, as this is no ordinary election year. It’s not really about an election, but restoration of the Republic, and its organic Constitution, which happens under Trump 24.

Re: "Several of the worst senators, such as Mississippi's Roger Wicker (R)..."

Mississippi is no longer a guaranteed GOP lock.

38% of the state is Black, and 100% of them are registered to vote.

Since Black voters are 80%-90% Democrat, that means white voters need to hit 70% Republican just to break even!

Doesn’t the author not know that half of our voters don’t care about anything else but Trump. Every other officeholder (that isnt Trump himself) is apparently establishment & deep state. Trump won’t need any other elected officials (because apparently he’s magically going to snap his fingers & pass legislation & get officials appointed & run agencies & have funds provided all by himself. Besides, none of them are worth voting for & the office might as well be held by a Democrat, it wouldn’t make a difference (because a Republican that votes conservative 80% of the time is just as bad as a Communist Democrat that votes conservative 0% of the time). And anyways, it won’t make any difference because Democrats chest & there are too many idiot voters & we won’t win, so let’s just stay home and whine while thumping our chests about how much we love & care for the USA 🙄

Most of these incumbents are practically unopposed in primaries. It is rare to beat one in a primary.
