Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA): If GOP Continues to ‘Idolize’ Trump, We Will Lose
Breitbart ^ | February 28, 2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/28/2021 8:05:22 AM PST by White Lives Matter

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if the Republican Party continued to “idolize” former President Donald Trump, they would lose elections.

Cassidy said, “We’ve got to win in two years. We’ve got to win in four years. If we do that, we’ll do that by speaking to those issues important to the American people, and there’s a lot of issues important to them right now, not by putting one person on a pedestal and making that one person our focal point. If we speak to those issues, to those families, to those individuals, we win. That’s where our focus should be.”

He continued, “CPAC is not the entirety of the Republican party. That’s number one. Number two, political organizations and campaigns are about winning. Over the last four years, we lost the House of Representatives, the Senate and the presidency. That has not happened in a single four years under a president since Herbert Hoover. If we plan to win in 2022 and 2024, we have to listen to the voters. Not just those who really like President Trump, but also those who perhaps are less sure. If we do, if we speak to the voters who are less sure who went from President Trump to President Biden, we win. If we don’t, we lose. That is a reality that we have to confront.”

Bush League Republicans want to go back to being Assistant Democrats, assisting them turning the USA into North Mexico like they have been doing for 30 years before Trump.

Thank you breitbart.com for reminding us why we don’t watch CNN.
If Cassidy thinks Trump is idolized, he understands neither Trump nor his voters.

He got re-elected in 2020 but we should find someone to primary this jerk. I’m so tired of the good ole boys country club we have going on in DC.

They all need to go!

He should fix his website. He has a whole section “Working with Donald Trump” where there is an audio of Trump speaking at a rally glowingly about Cassidy. The crowd cheers.

This guy has finally tipped his hand. He’s throwing a tantrum about “losing the Senate.” He’s angry about being in the minority in the Senate, and like McConnell, blames Trump for that. Well, you know, maybe a different result if he and Mitch hadn’t killed the larger stimulus checks in December, Maybe a different result if he and Mitch had taken voter fraud in Georgia more seriously.

Not “idolize”, but respect and admire, yes. Donald J. Trump is probably the second smartest man ever to sit in the White House, exceeded only by Thomas Jefferson.

Could Trump have written the Declaration of Independence? Maybe not, but he sure knows how to make it work as a living breathing document.

Ahhh, another elected official who told voters he was a “Republican” to get into office steps forward to declare his RINO fake-conservative status....

Quite possibly one of the most condescending things I’ve read in this forum. And that’s saying a lot.

Donald Trump isn’t Conservative enough for you?

If he’s not, can you provide an example of someone that is?

that if the Republican Party continued to “idolize” former President Donald Trump, they would lose elections.
= = =

They are going to lose elections anyway.

They should start to ‘idolize’ God, repent their sins, and honor the constitution.

And they would surpass Trump’s effect.

Bless his heart. He is not too smart.

The guy is a doctor. That's why they all vote for him.

This guy is a classic example of why the GOB establishment is clueless.

He claims if we continue to "idolize" Trump we will lose [in 2022 and 2024].

Does he not see that the only reason we won in 2016 and 2018 was because of Trump, not in spite of him.

And the only reason we didn't win in a landslide in 2020 was because the only way for the democRATS to prevent it, was to commit criminal fraud and steal the election from Trump.

The base of the GOP is now following Trump. The GOPe has not base anymore.

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA): If GOP Continues to ‘Idolize’ Trump, We Will Lose

A good representative of the a-holes that get elected to congress. So busy covering their butts and collecting money they can’t even vision the truth.

Bill is a moron. The facts have been all around him for 5 years, and he won’t see it.

I wonder how many LA Republicans regret they ever voted for this guy? I presume there aren’t any provisions in LA to get rid of him. He just got reelected last year and during his campaign, I will bet he gave no hint of his anti Trump views. There should be a way of getting rid of dishonest Politicians like him.

The Traitor bloviates

Participating in a fraud against the Constitution has nothing to do with Trump’s position in the Republican party

The issue for the Applied Biological Technician is that he legitimized the SECOND time a gang of real insurrectionists committed an affront to Constitutional government.
