It’s time to move on? I respect that opinion, but I have a question. What if Trump wins the Republican primary? Will you go to bat for him again?

What a bunch of horse road apples. The Republican Establishment DID NOT WANT Walker to win. Georgia Lt Gov Geoff Duncan campaigned FOR Warnock a week before the election calling Walker the worse candidate in the Party’s history. Senator Thune - heir apparent to Bitch McConnell - was reported, again a week before the election, that the upcoming Debt Ceiling negotiations were an opportunity to do some budget cuts - Medicare and Social Security??? This affected the Senior vote, voters who did not mail in votes but waited to vote on election day. I could go on.......

The Washington Examiner endorsed Trump in 2020

So, that has absolutely no bearing on the fact that this piece is nothing but pure garbage, and is not even accurate.

Operation Warp Speed was an amazing accomplishment no matter where you stand on the jab. Trump would have never, ever forced you to take the jab to keep your job or attend school. So, yes. Republicans can defend an effort to quickly develop and administer a vaccine, on a voluntary basis, for a potentially deadly virus.

It was Trump’s ego that cost us the Red Tsunami. Trump only supported candidates that toed the line on his “I waz robbed” narrative which turned off many voters and cost us the Senate and almost cost us the House. So don’t blame McConnell for what is Trump’s fault.

My problem with Warp Speed was the risks were not sufficiently communicated! If you can say they were communicated at all. You speed any development up you increase its ‘risk’. Some developments take the time they take if you want minimum risk, throwing money and people at it does no good other than waste money! Now if you allow more risk, it’s a different story. I wish Trump had publicly treated the effort with more sober caution and had not been so ‘rah-rah-sis-boom-bah’ about it. If your defense of him is ‘Well he’s not a biological scientist\engineer!’. My response is ‘Then all the more reason to express caution or SAY NOTHING!’ particularly since its outside his experience base.

It was Blake Masters who he denied funding to a couple of weeks before the election in AZ. That my money went to Murkowski.

I'm checking out of your Backstab Party.

And I'm taking as many of my fellow conservatives as I can.

The guy in NH was never going to win.

It seems everyone but the Trumpists on FR knew that.

Chris Sununu could have run for that seat and won.

And he knew how important the seat was for the national party.

The Backstab Party

He wants to be President, not a Senator.
