GOP Would Rather Lose than Fight

America is at war. Not with a particular country, in spite of our endless entanglements in the Middle East. Instead the war is against a more nebulous enemy. One that goes by many names. The status quo. The deep state. The establishment. The elites.

The enemy is everywhere. Media, entertainment, sports, academia, and among the ruling class in Washington, DC. A ruthless enemy, barbarians, willing to keep fighting despite setbacks and defeat. Singleminded in focus, the enemy wants to “fundamentally transform America”, creating a “new world order,” to borrow phrases from both sides of the political aisle.

Who are the opponents? Who is pushing back? One might think the Republican Party is the resistance to the progressive enemy. A slide toward socialism, communism, fascism, or any other “ism” leaving the anointed ones in power deciding for the masses what is best, how they should live, what they should think, how they should behave

LOL! Yeah that's rich. The gopE is the resistance? Yeah, more like a case of "squanderlishous". We gave them the White House, the 'hor' and the senate and what do we get? Not a whole lot of ROI that's for damn sure. Somebody better wake the hell up and soon.

Power,also known as “the dark side”, corrupt. Its effect is almost universal; that’s songs are sung and books are written about those who endure it without submission. It is so rare as to be practically nonexistent.

The Establishment cares about one thing and only one thing; "Free Trade" which means the US consumer markets are open allowing offshoring, cheap labor to be imported unfettered, and foreign markets are protected from US exports. In other words a one sided trade war. That is the ONLY thing they care about. Follow the money.

Trump seems to get it.

He’s the only reason the GOP won last year. Part of the GOP still doesn’t seem to get that.

Including the former president Bush.

Actually.

A big league electoral loss.

I do not agree with this premise at all. Primary-ing the RINOs will yield BETTER candidates that will crush the DEM opponents in the general.

Go Bannon, go!

Paul Ryan specifically said that he wanted hillary to win because it was easier for him to lead from behind, hillarys behind.

Paul Ryan likes leading from hillarys behind.

He prefers it.

Paul Ryan is NO LEADER!

Ever wonder why the GOP congress leaders consist of people such as:

Denny Hastert
John Boehner
Mitch McConnel
Paul Ryan

Not only do they all have “F” liberty score reviews, but many have serious closet problems.

The fact that the GOPe would rather lose than fight has been obvious for years.

That’s why I changed my registration to independent 10 years ago.

Losing is ingrained into them. It is a carry-over from being barely a minority party for over 40 years. Now that they have majority status, then still have the mentality of losers.

The Cheap Labor Express Republicans have been the ones fundamentally transforming America for their friends across the aisle by keeping the borders open and the laws unenforced.
Demographics are destiny and they decided we were going to be a Spanish speaking country.
GWH Bush implemented a bipartisan policy designed to dilute the votes of citizens by fraudulently documented foreigners because we would not vote for their new world order.
Most of our representatives have not been representing the citizens, they have been representing the interests of Fedzilla.

Yes, the Bushs NWO push has been more consequential than the so called Reagan Revolution which died in 1988. Pappy NWO Bush squelched that second one of his administration. F that wrinkled old groping GOPer.

One of the problems is the GOP leadership. We have dyed in the wool RINO’s running things.
