I’ll take Conservative purists any day of the week and twice on Sunday over the army of useless, gutless RINO weasels that sell us out over and over again to their Stalinazi Demonrat colleagues. Wake the eff up, Hoss.

RINOs are the reason the Demonrats have been able to steal countless elections for decades, including 2020. They’re in bed with them, the Derp State.

The Democrats and their Rino pals are concentrating on the senate. They know the house is gone and hope to cajole, propagandize and cajole their way to keeping a senate majority so Biden can get his radical judges and bureaucrats through.

Part of this is done by ignoring who the headwind is behind in the off year election. Freezing the election in Alinsky jargon. Making all politics local. What do local people think about Biden and the economy? What do people think about the border? Is Mark Kelly being an astronaut enough to offset his winning a dubious election and people being mad as hell?

This is propaganda.

Depends on who is nominated and if people open their wallets and fund the GOP candidate. If people sit on their behinds and don’t open their wallets - like they even did with Trump himself and he ran out of money for his media campaign ceding the airwaves to Joe Biden - we could lose it. Attending rallies are a good and effective thing to excite the base, but doesn’t convince those on the margins to vote for a candidate or to combat the opposing candidate’s message - and advertising is indeed just as effective as ever despite what some people claim.

As far as Mark Kelly being invincible like this article suggests because of “celebrity”, he barely won in a Democrat leaning year nationwide and against a weak candidate who had already lost in the previous election and was essentially an also-ran to the voters. This is certainly not a Dem leaning year. So again, any decent candidate who is well funded and runs a good campaign should be able to defeat him in this political environment.

Barnette lost her last congressional race by whopping 17% points. Republican primary voters need to avoid voting for candidates such as these

Barnette did much better in that district than Republicans typically do and even outperformed President Trump in that district. That performance by any Republican in that district would result in a solid victory statewide. Trump would have carried the state again had he matched her performance there even with the shenanigans of the PA Supreme Court ruling the laws could be ignored in casting ballots.

Yes - does anywhere near a majority of voters in Arizona support abortion on demand without any restrictions up to the point of birth? No. Does anywhere near a majority of voters in Arizona support forcing faith based medical centers to perform abortions? No. He should be toast confronting him on that issue alone - he voted for that - and should be hit hard for that. Just have to get the messaging straight (which sometimes campaign ads are just generic nonsense and seem like the ad makers were just focusing on having fun with the special effects rather than making the ad with a focuses message that is easily understandable - Sinema might never have won her initial House race but for the way the ads were done).

I’ve said this many times before, but it is unfortunate conservatives do not have the same social networking for money bombs the Left does for funding candidates practically overnight with huge warchests of small donations. Democrats practically get their nominees tens of millions of dollars in short order from these money bombs - even in sure losers. Amy McGrath got massive amounts of cash in her campaign against McConnell. She never had a shot yet many tens of millions of dollars continued to pour into her campaign. Kelly would *not* have more money or at least it would be inconsequential if we had the same kind of organization on our side. Are there at least 1 million conservatives who could afford a mere $10.00 each on average for each of our Senate nominees? Absolutely. Actually a lot more than that. Every candidate would be competitive with that kind of a war chest regardless of how much money the opponent had. There’s just no organization for it on our side to make that materialize.

McMaster is from the intellectual wing of the party-the ideas. He won’t go the down and dirty route. Perhaps he can use his intelligence to point out failures of democrat policies.

And that’s why the Congress is lined with useless RINO collaborators.

Bump! I only vote MAGA, screw a bunch of RINOs.
