Is the GOP on the verge of collapse?

Good one.

No. Assholes are assholes.

No. Assholes are assholes.

Such eloquence.

Each word teeming with intellectual, open-minded might.

Yes, indeed.

Your posts will always be remembered as pioneering treasures of conversational munificence.

Your posts do absolutely nothing to encourage forward communication. Go fuck yourself, asshole.

Here’s your problem, your cult has a record low, 21 percent, approval rating..so as long as that’s the case, the gop will continue to win

You seem to be unable to grasp that, and apparently only stand for illegal terrorist and China…voters don’t support that

By June, the full disaster of Dotard's tariffis will take effect. Let's see how popular your Trump Party is than. And the ramifications DOGE'S scuttling of entire Federal agencies hasen't yet hit home with voter's either. But they will. And soon.

But wait, there's more! Trump is planning a big announcement on the budget this week & THAT screw job of the middle class will be epic.

GOP collapsed under trump, the first time. They are just the MAGA party, now, still trading on the GOP name, Republicans in name only.

This sounds like you’re no longer pretending to be a moderate….am I right?

As one that has no confidence in our partisan political system, I see no way either can be on the verge of collapse. Our system is titled in favor of the 2-party system. November's Democrat presidential candidate got no more primary votes than you, me or even North Korean Kim Jong Un. That's the way it works. We the people are stuck with whatever the (R) and (D)'s choose to put out.

The GOP is the conventional reference to the Repub party but we all know at this point in time it's the party of trump. He's pulling all the strings and has been for years now. If you challenge him or what he's doing in a meaningful way you get banished from the party. Open dissent is a political death wish for congressional Repubs.

So, with all the focus on his plunge in the polls on a broad array of issues something else needs to be explored. Namely, how popular were GOP positions on consequential issues prior to trump's freefall on the economy, immigration, and DOGE?

The majority of Americans tend to agree with Democrats on top issues, polling shows | CNN Politics

When it comes to considering the top political issues facing the country -- immigration, health care and gun control among them -- politicians in Congress can give the impression that the public is hopelessly divided on policy solutions.

Not very as it turns out.

trump got elected by capitalizing on the electoral reality of the sitting prez getting blamed for the country's ills. Primary among them being inflation. Inflation that's about to reignite when the full impact of the tariffs enters the economy's bloodstream.

In the next election cycle, and ones beyond that, with trump's influence waning, what issues will support Repub candidates seeing as their positions on the environment, access to abortions, gun control, saving the social safety net, always have been and will remain unpopular? Unless they change course and move to the center that is. They've gotten a lot of mileage over ginned up wedge issues like CRT in the past. But how long can that be sustained?

The GOP is just fine. Men and "security moms" like Trump and Republicans. Progressive women and berg don't. meh

And uncontrolled illegal immigration.
And crime. And debt.

I suppose I should know by now there is no way to get the beliefs of those on the Right to align with the facts regarding illegal immigration. You've been too indoctrinated by the Rapist-in-Chief's hyperbolic rhetoric. Rather than acknowledge the hundreds of thousands of immigrant apprehensions during Biden's presidency you choose to conjure an image of a completely unprotected border. One where Biden facilitated an "invasion."
Beliefs that are not based in reality are a feature, not a bug, of right wing orthodoxy these days. It makes taking you folks seriously increasingly difficult.

We know the democrat party is on the verge of collapse with only a 25% approval rating and 67% of them either wanting to continue their current policies or move to the center while 33% want to go far left progressive woke.

I see what you did there. Was suggesting manly men and manly women get it but the wimpy do not suppose to be persuasive? Are you that insecure?

Trump approval on immigration slips into negative territory: Survey​

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5267540-trump-approval-immigration-survey/

Would you have us think if you don't support illegal, abject cruelty of immigrants you just aren't a tough guy? Has trump being prez really made it cool among The Following to be anti-Constitution? It would seem so.

 

[j-mac]

And yet a position by position breakdown of support for each party's respective positions on policy matters show the majority favor Dem's. One advantage Repubs have is with immigration. Dotard is posing a threat to that advantage with his bigoted idiocy.

Sounds like sour grapes to me…

Treasury Secretary Bessent says it’s up to China to de-escalate trade tensions​

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/28/treasury-secretary-bessent-says-its-up-to-china-to-de-escalate-trade-tensions.html

Didn't Dotard just say the US and China were meeting on tariffs? Didn't Bessent just say a de-escalation was imminent?

Bessent says he expects ‘de-escalation’ in U.S.-China tariff fight in the ‘very near future’​

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/22/bessent-trump-tariffs-china-deescalate.html

Bessent does not back up Trump on China tariff discussions​

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday did not back President Donald Trump's assertion that tariff talks with China were under way and said he did not know if the U.S. president had talked to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-cabinet-members-clash-tariff-talks-with-china-2025-04-27/

Bessent as much as admitted Dotard was lying the other day.

Can you fully appreciate how bad it is when high ranking members of the regime can't get their story straight?
