I don’t think the GOP is stupid, I think they are bought off and like the money. So all the reasoning and pointing out mistakes in the world isn’t going to do anything. They are purchased, bribed, bought off. You will get stupid stares. The GOP entity you speak to will nod and nod and nod and think “This fool appears to believe I will give up all my nice bribe money ha ha.”
I looked up all the head people in the AZ GOP -— first on their website to get the names and then Wikipedia and their Facebook pages. They seem to me to be totally hopeless -— John McCain’s people. They babble all the right conservative babble and do nothing. The only conclusion is that they like the bribes. I don’t see any way to get rid of all of them and put fighters in there. When Cindy McCain defended absentee ballots, against what McSally said, I really lost hope. I feel really really discouraged this morning. All the logical good advice here is spot on but I have been thinking that since 2001 and nothing has changed.
Trump said “I will teach them how to win” but they don’t want to win. The bribe money is too good. The GOP is a criminal enterprise.
Lesson Six: Quit playing it safe. Prevent Defense always loses. I don’t know how this has failed to register.
Trump’s pitch to suburban voters should be a reminder that under Democrat rule the Obama Administration had HUD busily working behind the scenes to force Section 8 housing into all of their neighborhoods.
The Donald put a stop to that.
Someone tell that the the Northern Virginia RINO army which never really gets behind a consecutive R candidate. Also, tell the RNC to at lease ENDORSE a guy like Corey Stewart. Jeez maybe spend a few bucks on him too.
Anyone who thinks we can maintain an economy based on debt, leverage-based financial shenanigans, endlessly increasing home values, and data mining indefinitely is going to be in for the rude awakening of a lifetime.
The Democrats’ own analysis shows that they were outspending Republicans 5:1 or more in districts that were flipped. Paul Ryan deliberately took a dive here by shutting off the money spigot.
One thing I noticed is he didn’t use the word “normal” until the last paragraph.
The problem is the Republican party is made up of a nationalist majority and a powerful small minority globalist faction. Globalists and Nationalists should never be in the same party but here we are. It’s like mixing vinegar and water, you can shake it all you want but it always separates out.
FPR
It doesn’t cost the RinoNC one dime to endorse our candidate.
I know most on here probably already have but a good step forward is quit giving money to the RNC.
They take OUR (Conservative leaning) money and back RINOs and GOPes, while ignoring the Conservatives and in the past basically openly campaigning against them....
We got Blumenthal, and a few other clowns because the RNC would not support the R candidate - including sticking Virginia with McAuliffe.
At least now the President doesn’t have to ‘suck up’ to Congress because ‘HE’ held it by party even though a lot of inner backstabbing was going on, as well as a couple of slugs in the Senate.
I realize things ‘take time’ but it does appear that Rs and RNC sat back and let AZ walk away, FL is slipping and sliding and a ‘controversy’ is being raised in GA...
WHERE is the RNC?
You bet. While that plays to a small subset here on FR who live in a bubble, it doesn't play well in certain parts of the country and some on FR don't get it. What it does is it motivates that moderate, who may NOT go vote, to go vote for the other side. Some here just need to understand he's not as popular in many places as he is in our bubble...and tweeting these things doesn't help.
If he will stick to his policies, he's a winner. When he tweets stupid things, it's a losing proposition. It may motivate us, but we are going to vote anyway. All elections are about GOTV at the base level. The last thing we need is his tweets motivating the other side to go vote.
Kevin McCarthy,s first words after election as House minority leader?
“I’m going to work with the Democrats.”
That's why as Democrats continue to steal elections and the Media insists there is no evidence of election fraud, the Republicans were all celebrating that Mitch McConnell will remain as Senate Majority Leader.
Will read later
It might help if we stop pretending that there is such a thing as a GOP that wanted to win. If there had been a somewhat unified Republican party backing President Trump these past two years the Democrat party would barely exist at this point. Such a party would never stand for the blatant election theft now taking place throughout the nation.
Instead we had 40 Rino Congressmen retire all at once just to give the Democrats a chance to take the House and limit Trump’s power. We had lots of dull establishment candidates like McSally and we didn’t even bother campaigning effectively for them.
It was Trump’s hard work that at least saved the Senate, but he was fighting an uphill battle against his own party. I don’t know why he even bothers at this point.
Lesson six: the idea is winning and control of House, Senate and White House. Dems learned their lessons and went back to their ‘06 formula by running people in more conservative districts that were moderates or sold themselves as moderates. Some conservatives (Arpaio and Ward diehards) meanwhile rather lose Senate and House seats than vote for someone not pure enough.
We need to have control in order to push our agenda or approve judges etc. as bad as Flake, Sasse, Murkowski and Collins May be they still vote R for control of Senate. McSally would have done the same as well as Heller.
One cannot pilot a plane if one is not sitting at the controls.
The trend you describe is the result of unearned wealth. The "exile grandchildren" have been pampered all their lives just like their American peers ... and they vote like misfits and losers simply because they lost their American identity.
That's because it doesn't matter how old they are. Emotionally, they're still 12 years old.
