“I really do not know what Mitch stands for, other than being an assistant Democrat”

Mitch decided not to make the 2022 Congressional elections about issues. No “Contract for America” or any specific promises on the border, runaway inflation, education, politicization of the DOJ and FBI, wasteful spending, energy prices, supply chain shortages, taxes, crime, healthcare, etc. His strategy was to be quiet and assume the American people will be so disgusted with two years of Democrat rule they will come out and give the GOP a majority in both houses of Congress.

It still isn’t too late but Mitch is holding firm to a strategy that he now admits is probably not going to give the GOP the Senate.

The American people realize the current direction of the country is wrong, the Biden polls show that. However, Mitch has decided not to give them a real alternative. An alternative is a specific platform and roadmap to a better place. Silence is not a roadmap, nor does it give independent voters any reason to believe the Republicans will do better.

In addition the absence of specific policies allows the Democrats and media to define the Republicans. If the Republicans had a specific plan, Biden and others wouldn’t be able to get away with labeling Republicans as racist threats to democracy. If the Republicans had plans to deal with the issues the majority of people care about, the Democrats would today be playing defense, not offense. Unfortunately Mitch’s decision not to play offense means the GOP is playing defense when the other side is weak. If you don’t play to win, and two months before the vote is tallied you are already conceding you won’t prevail, it is almost certain you will lose.

Patiently waiting for DJT to come on. Watching ND/OSU in the meantime.

Not good to keep your customers waiting. We’re most important.

Ditch is NOT a leader and doesn’t want to become one [in name anyway] again.

Maybe Mitch wants to lose.

not true. The Democrat base thinks things are going in exactly the RIGHT direction, but is not yet far enough for them. They imagine us as serfs living in small apartments with only so many square feet allowed per person unable to chose where we want to live. They imagine we will get a ration of insect protein and plant matter as decided by some sort of collective made up if the Democrat faithful. They imagine that health care will be allotted by bureaucrats so that old people will be cut out and only those of value to the state will be given expensive treatments.

We still have far too much freedom for their plans. We still have some arms. We have not been stripped of our ability to travel freely by the fraud of non existent climate change false green energy and impractical electric vehicles. Our savings are still somewhat valuable and above all we have the ability to vote out the abomination that is the Democrat power structure.

One thing is for sure. We cannot reason with them. They've proved that repeatedly by doubling down on the policies that make things worse. You cannot bargain with them because first they have nothing to offer and second they are criminals and liars whom only a fool would trust. We must destroy them hopefully in November if not our days of freedom are numbered and I may see some of you in the camps.
