Because he is frightened that Dems will throw him off the ballot even though they would only have a one seat majority.

When Repubs have a one seat majority, it becomes the excuse that they can’t do anything.

When Dems have a one seat majority they are ten feet tall, and can do extreme measures like Maduro, and throw Trump off the ballot.

It’s nonsense.

Trump has two big weaknesses:

1. making bad personnel choices because those people flatter him
2. caving to the Swamp over impeachment threats or excluded from ballot

If his second term is going to amount to anything, he is going to have to call their bluff, not endlessly cave.

Wake up and smell the coffee, dude. Why do you think useless runts like Lindsey Graham get a regular spot on Fox News? It’s because the dog handlers at Boeing buy ad time to get their paid b!tches on TV to promote this stupid corporate/globalist welfare.

it is now a four seat majority thanks to all the folks quitting. That is with Republicans (notice I did not say conservatives) occupying the lead.

I am one of the conservative masses and I do not feel betrayed, nor do the majority of those who call themselves conservative. When has abandoning a country to Russian aggression become a conservative principle?

No, he didn’t cave because of that. It’s fairly well understood that if $60B is sent to Ukraine, at least 1/4 of it finds its way back here and into the ‘Rat Party coffers. In this case that would amount to ~$15 Billion; or in plain figgers, $15 thousand million! So they wave a paltry 4 or 5 million$ under yer speakership’s nose and say, “If ya’ play ball with us. If ya’ don’t...Stay away from Ft. Marcey Park. And the beat goes on. JMHPO.

Well, for one Johnson cannot fix the border. I think he’s smart enough to realize that. All he can do is throw money at the problem. The money then goes to all the executive branch fascists that will only use it to process more illegals and all the congressional oversight committee song and dance won’t change a single thing. Makes for good video clips though. (See Mayorkas impeachment)

If he admits to that publicly, then it’s game over for his authority, unless and until we can win the presidency and keep the house, plus root out the fascists deep state. Otherwise defunding Biden’s fascist bureaucracy or not giving them more funds is the best outcome presently.

A very tall order no matter how you look at it.

The author of this article is more interested in splitting the republican base, and/or not a very deep thinker, IMO.

“Events on the ground have demonstrated pretty conclusively that Moscow cannot even secure all the territory it claims to have annexed in eastern Ukraine”

‘nuff said?

More B.S. Never ever seen any ads for Boeing or other defense contractors on Fox or anywhere else. You keep spouting Leftist myths and not facts. That’s the Left’s pitch - we only go to war to fund defense contractors.

Because the next guy may be sympathetic enough with the Dems to convict him in the House of insurrection.

It is not nonsense.

They’ve been holding the second term over his head at least dating back to promise of pardons that were never issued.

One doesn’t call bluffs of maniacs with nothing.

One waits until they have a decent hand and then one takes all the chips.

Once he was made aware that money is free and we can just make more of it, why not give some to other countries that really need it?

Seriously, would you trust any of these people to manage your small business or family budget?

I listened to interviews with a number of Johnson’s district constituents last night. They don’t seem particularly bothered about his shift.

How come Repubs can’t do any thing with a one vote majority ?

But Dems can act like Maduro and throw the opposition candidate off the ballot with a one vote majority ?

Ignoring that the rino class is being exited at record pace

My reply was in reply to a post of why Trump endorsed Johnson yesterday.

My analogy involves Trump calling their bluff and admonishing Johnson, leading to a new SOTH.

so figure out what is going on and I’d be welcome to any advice.

The relentless attacks on Johnson over this are beginning to take on characteristics of paranoid schizophrenia.
