Syncro...... the republican party is conservative salvation. Absent the Republican Party, there is no real conservative capability

It is what it is. Trump has turned out to be acceptable by many that initially rejected him. On the other hand, Trump knows that to accomplish any thing legislatively, he must have all the Republicans.

It appears there is consensus on forging ahead to do that which can be done. Absent 60 votes in the senate, that is very little.

Is he a misfit for Utah?

Traditionally, Senators were supposed to be representative of their states, and not cut to fit one national mold.

Misfit for America, but hailed as the Bishop of UT: untouchable!

I’m afraid Willard will end up being a sanctimonious Trump backstabber just like Saint Jeffy Flake. I don’t trust him, not one bit.

Fine.

Find such a candidate, get him financed with tens of millions, ensure he is willing to give up his life as he knows it, and convince him or her to run.

We both know that won’t happen, so give up living the dream and deal with the reality that Romney will be the Republican candidate, and, although for from perfect, much better than any Dem.

“You keep repeating “electability””

Yes, because if they are not elected in the General, then the Dem is, and Chuckie Schummer has one more vote in the Senate.

The ONLY reason to vote for a POS like Romney is in the hopes that he votes for conservative judges nominated by Trump.

But he will also be a reliable vote for gun control, for illegals, for globalism, for buggery, and for keeping the swamp fed and well-tended.

Actually, we had such a candidate in Judge Roy Moore, but you and your buds helped the Dems win the district in order to make the swamp great again. Happy?

I’m sorry, but you live in a dream world.

You are not worth replying to.

You are an attorney, if I am not mistaken from previous discussions. By definition, you are a moral relativist, because you believe that rights and freedoms only exist inasmuch as the Supreme Court tells us they exist. That is what they teach in law school, no? So it is not surprising that the concept of principles is foreign to you.

You posts prove you know nothing about me, nor about law, nor about law school, my work in Bush v. Gore, nor about natural law, nor, of course, about RealPolitik.

If you have such a misunderstanding about law, I suggest you read the writings of AJSCOTUS Scalia or AJSCOTUS Thomas regarding Natural Law as well as “Religion, Love, and Law: Hegel’s Early Metaphysics of Morals”

Otherwise, observe the words of lawyer Lincoln who advised: “It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than in your case, open it and prove it to them.”

Go away. Spend your time spouting your foolishness to someone else.

Let’s change the name of Free Republic to unFree Republican, right? The quality of Freepers is in great decline.

If you do not understand that letting an un-electable candidate win the primary assures another Dem vote in the House or Senate, or even worse, not caring about it, there is no need to try to engage in any further conversation.

Wrong ace. Vote for the non RINO in the primary. That is what a patriot does; he votes for what's best for the country and his own conscious sensibility. Then again nobody has accused you of patriotism lately have they?

No MORE RINOs!!!! F your "unelectability". MAGA candidates win every time!

The primaries are the key to stopping people like Romney. Where is Bannon, we need him.

You are an idiot and a traitor to the real Conservatism because the primaries are where we can ditch the globalist free traitor infesting the GOP; ESPECIALLY IN A DEEP RED STATE. It's their Achilles heel.

If any young people are reading this thread starc6 is the enemy of the patriot. He is pushing snake oil and hateful establishment venom. Go along to get along and a RINO kiss ass.
