GOP on the move: What would big gains in 2022 and 2024 look like?

[Ray From Cleveland]

Barr says Trump 'lost his grip' in forthcoming memoir​

Former Attorney General William Barr writes in his forthcoming memoir that former President Trump “lost his grip” after the 2020 Presidential election, also urging the Republican party to find a different candidate for 2024, The New York Times reported.

In his new memoir, “One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General,” Barr repeatedly knocks Trump, who he fell out with amid the former president's claims of election fraud.

“He stopped listening to his advisers, became manic and unreasonable, and was off the rails,” Barr writes in his memoir, per the Times. “He surrounded himself with sycophants, including many whack jobs from outside the government, who fed him a steady diet of comforting but unsupported conspiracy theories.”

Barr also urges GOP leaders to pick someone else to be the party’s presidential candidate in 2024, calling another potential Trump campaign “dismaying,” according to the Times.

“Donald Trump has shown he has neither the temperament nor persuasive powers to provide the kind of positive leadership that is needed,” Barr writes.

Barr also wrote that Trump become furious with his attorney general during a December 2020 meeting, after the Department of Justice found nothing to support Trump’s election fraud claims.

Trump reportedly accused Barr of “pulling the rug out from under me.” When Barr tried to explain why various claims of a election fraud were unfounded and offered to resign from his position, Trump slammed the table and yelled “accepted!" the former AG wrote.

In a statement last June, Trump referred to his former attorney general as a “swamp creature” after he called Trump's election claims "bullshit" in a book authored by ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl.

"Barr was a 'swamp creature' who was devastated when the Radical Left wanted to impeach him," Trump said at the time. "It takes a very strong and special person to go against the 'mob'. Bill Barr was not that person."

These people really know what to say to sell books, I'll tell ya.

400,000 Dead
65,000 businesses shuttered.
a net 5 million job loss
Riots in the streets.

China is responsible for the deaths. The Left weaponized the disease.

Those businesses were shuttered because of lock downs. Not Trump's idea

The job loss are due to the scamdemic, not Trump.

The riots in the streets were by the Left and backed by Democrats. Their purpose was to intimidate people with violence. Certainly not Trump's fault.

Shove your revisionist history up your ass.

He knows all that. But when your gun is empty, your only hope at staying alive is throwing it at your enemy hoping you hit them in the head.

 

[JoeB131]

And yet after a 30 million dollar year long investigation by a team of anti-Trumpers, you have zero evidence to your lie...........I mean claim.

You mean the one where Manafort, Flynn and a bunch of others were convicted and had to be given last minute pardons to keep their mouths shut?

400,000 dead with no vaccines or PPE

Yup, because he let it run out of control.

Businesses shuttered because the Communists closed up businesses in their cities and states, and the US still had the least GDP damage of all other G7 countries.

Yet those G7 nations had nowhere near our death rates.

Riots only in Communist cities encouraged by the Communist leaders like your now VP Whorris, who encouraged lowlifes to donate to a Go Fund Me account to bailout the criminals so they could continue rioting.

Riots happened- where people actually live. Demonstrators are entitled to bail and they are entitled to demonstrate. Silly Darkie, rights are for white people.

Like I said OCD, you'll never win an argument against a conservative using nothing but lies. It's way too easy for us.

Well, Welfare Ray, if you guys keep drinking the koolaid, you will never admit the cult leader's faults. His own AG says he was unfit for office, as have many of the other people who worked for him, but you keep drinking the Koolaid.

 

[JoeB131]

And here's another Bleach Drinker.

China is responsible for the deaths. The Left weaponized the disease.

China didn't disband the Pandemic Response Team, or call the virus a hoax, or held mass spreader events, or lied to people how serious it was to prevent spooking the stock market, or hawk fake cures like Hydrochloroquinine and Intermecin, or put his idiot son-in-law in charge of PPE distribution,

Those businesses were shuttered because of lock downs. Not Trump's idea

No, if we had done a complete shutdown like Germany and Japan did, we could have contained this thing.

The job loss are due to the scamdemic, not Trump.

Actually, no. We were going into recession before the Virus hit. Q1 2020 had a 5% GDP loss before there were more than a few deaths in the US.

The riots in the streets were by the Left and backed by Democrats. Their purpose was to intimidate people with violence. Certainly not Trump's fault.

No, the riots were a result of a president who openly encouraged police brutality. Trump scrapped all the police reform efforts of Obama and made statements supporting police misconduct that even police chiefs condemned.

Police leaders across the country moved quickly to distance themselves from -- or to outright condemn -- President Trump's statements about "roughing up" people who've been arrested.

The swift public denunciations came as departments are under intense pressure to stamp out brutality and excessive force that can erode the relationship between officers and the people they police -- and cost police chiefs their jobs.

Trump covered the floor in gasoline, and George Floyd was the match.

All of those lifetime swampers made to look like rookies by a rookie in politics. Do you even notice the near 100% media backing of Ukraine? We see the shills coming out of their shells more and more also.

Uh, not really.

Trump lost the popular vote.
People tried to work with him, and he acted like a petulant child for four years before they could finally vote him out.
The real story of the Trump years is the cowardice of Republicans. In the past, the Republicans were able to save their brand from people like McCarthy and Nixon by standing on principle and distancing themselves from their bad behavior. The GOP had multiple chances to purge Trump, they just refused to take them, because they live in terror of that 20% of the electorate that has drunk the koolaid.

Trump as we know has an ego. When he makes a promise in an agenda, he actually tries to keep it because of his personality. We do not expect every promise to be kept with our leaders. He had sone success though with a political class in D.C. hating him. I believe we are a sovereign nation with borders. With a culture that we all blend into and one language. And we do not have that. It's just a matter of time now.

Only a moron would take the word of a person trying to make money from selling his new book. Nobody said people are not entitled to bail.......that is unless they are white and part of the 1/6 crowd where the Nazis are still holding Americans captive for over a year without the opportunity for bail. But the people who were bailed out by other criminals did so at the behest of your now Vice President proving that the Communists did everything they could to keep the riots going in their cities.

No, China didn't hold mass spreader events. but China also doesn't allow people to cross into their country untested or unvaxed by the millions like your President does, and then fly or bus them all across the country coast to coast infecting and possibly killing their own people. Unlike the Democrat party here, China looks out for their people over foreign invaders.

 

[Independentthinker]

I'm generally not into prediction-making, but it sure does seem that the GOP is going to be having their way in 2022 and perhaps 2024. Given how fired up their base remains, that will include at the state and local level in many cases. If that does happen, they'll continue to change election laws in their favor, giving them more future control (and success) at the state and local levels.

Let's make that assumption for the sake of conversation. American again lurches to the Right. Looking at this from a macro perspective, that would mean that we would once again withdraw from the world and our allies, and that our domestic policies would be far more you're-on-your-own and what's-in-it-for-me.

I can only assume that the GOP thinks this situation will win them more voters, or at least enough to leverage the election system they will have changed. So:

• Is that possible? Will they be able to change minds? Would they be able to finally convince people that they're right?
• Will not enough Americans really care one way or the other, frustrated with both parties?
• Will the GOP go too far, again, (as both parties love to do) causing yet enough lurch in the opposite direction?
• How would the rest of the world view us, as it continues to change and increase in prosperity and influence? (Yes, I realize the GOP isn't concerned about this one)
• Would there be an increased danger of a significant social backlash due to their policies, and what might that look like?

Personally, I think bases are far overrated. It's John Doe and Jane Smith who are motivated to vote due to the country's deteriorating condition. Even most democrats think the country is on the wrong path so voting for continued deteriorating conditions just seems absurd. However, there is a big wild card that no one seems to be paying attention to and that is the abortion case the SC will issue a verdict on just before the midterms. It seems likely that the SC will, in some way, restrict abortions and make it likely that states will be able to each decide on their own what the definition of viability is. This will cause many on the left to rethink their disgust on where the country is headed and make a very tough choice for them come the midterms. But, I predict that pocketbooks will be more important than stances on abortion, except to those who would never vote on the R side anyway.

Now Republicans are voting based on accomplishments and not personality. Gee, what a silly concept.

Uh, you voted for a failed game show host over accomplished governors and senators. Some "accomplishment".

Only a moron would take the word of a person trying to make money from selling his new book.

Except this is someone Trump hired. Trump only hires the best people. If one of the "Best people" says he's unfit for office, he probably is.

Most countries would have taken the 1/6 terrorists out and shot them for that stunt. As for the mostly peaceful demonstrators against police brutality and murder, few of them will ever see convictions. I promise you, put me on a jury, they'll be acquitted, I don't care is you have film of them burning a 7/11.

Well, it's not like people are trying to break into China, is it? Trump would have put them in concentration camps, wait for an outbreak and then have the guards and employees spread it. That would have been worse.

People will say just about anything to sell a book, and what makes Barr an expert on who is or is not fit to be President? He's an attorney by trade. As for Trump's accomplishments they are too lengthy to list. It takes a couple of paragraphs. Also trying to compare trespassers to rioters is a complete joke. They broke into the Capital for a few hours and then were forced to leave. The riots promoted by the Communists lasted for months, closing down businesses some permanently costing Americans billions of dollars when all was said and done. Many officers were injured, people were killed, private and public property destroyed. As a disciple of Satan, of course you would acquit criminals. It's an order you must follow by your God.

They do but 1/6 didn't happen? There wasn't millions of dollars spent trying to overturn the 2020 election?

Did you forget about the the millions of dollars spent trying to steal the election?
