Republicans Who Let Trump ‘Bully’ Party Will Seal Midterms Defeat, Senator Says

[struth]

Maybe the senile old bastard will kick. That would solve SOME problems.

not for the dnc. their issues are far more then xiden alone

 

[Oddball]

Evan McMullen? The guy who couldn't even win his home state? He's not even on my VP list.
Are you Bill Kristol surada?

I prefer Nikki Haley, Pence, Jordan, Cruz, or Pompeo. Anyone but Trump. That said, if Trump is the nominee I'll vote for him over senile Joe or Heels-Up.

Haley and Pence are neocon drips....The party has gone full populist and those fossils are old news.

He is right.

He left out three very important factors

The virus.

If the Republican Party continues to be cowards and refuses to fight the virus thus allowing more people to die, republicans will keep losing elections.

Reproductive Freedom

No one likes abortion. No one is pro abortion. The majority of the people in the United States are pro choice. A very large majority, even if they are against abortion, believes there should be exceptions for rape, incest, the health and life of the woman. If the republican party keeps writing and passing laws that take away the right to choose, especially in the case of rape and incest, republicans will keep losing elections.

Voting Rights

Republican Party keeps writing and passing laws to take away voting rights or heavily restrict voting rights. People will find ways to vote and to vote republicans out of office. Even with the older restrictive voting laws, republicans lost in places they believe they should always win. They saw that their existing laws to prevent people from voting weren't working so they wrote even more restrictive laws. ID to vote, of course but someone giving someone water has nothing to do with ID. Closing voting places at 5pm when people get off work has nothing to do with ID. Along with most of the new voting laws, they have nothing to do with ID or preventing vote fraud. Fraud that doesn't exist on a level to have any effect on any election. If republicans keep writing laws to prevent people from voting, republicans will keep losing elections.

If republicans want to win elections they need to change. The people of our nation don't want or like their economic or social policies. Republicans should realize that freedom is for everyone. Not just those who agree with their views.

Republicans are a party of radicals and they will pay for their radicalism at the polls.

Watch...

Maybe. But Republicans are populists now. They're not tied down by ideology (or reason) and will cater to the angry voter any way they can. And, given that Democrats can't seem to let go of their we-know-betterism, there's sure to be plenty of angry voters.

There's no such thing as populism on the right. That's a fallcy.

There is however, fascism on the right. That's what we have now from the rightwing.

The fascists are in power right now and they are not Republicans.

Haley would win the women's vote.
I don't see her as a neocon like Liz Cheney, she was a governor and knows how to manage policy choices.
So who are your top picks for the GOP for 2024?

The two aren't mutually exclusive. Trump's political style - which now permeates the party - is pure populism.

America First is populist. Bringing jobs back to the US is populist. Fair Trade is populist. Low inflation is populist. Rising wages is populist, a great economy is populist.

What do the dems offer? (besides the AFG catastrophe, being held in CONTEMPT by the Brits, pissing off Canada by killing KeystoneXL, and now pissing off the French by mishandling the Aussie sub deal.)
Open Borders and lax immigration policies, lower wages
Defund the police, more dangerous streets
Russia First Energy policies, approved Nord Stream 2
Lax Military posture, CRT and woke bullshit
The Green New Deal, wasting $trillions
"Wokeness"
Support of criminals, no bail, etc.
Reprogramed US education system: Critical Race Theory vs Traditional/Family Values
Oppose school vouchers
China First trade policies
Outsourcing jobs by taxing corporations so much they relocate
HR-1 grab for one-party rule
Make DC & PR new states taking over the US senate forever
Replacing the Electoral College with the popular vote
Totally turning the US into a socialist/failed state.
Packing the US Supreme Court with Leftists

America First is populist. Bringing jobs back to the US is populist. Fair Trade is populist. Low inflation is populist. Rising wages is populist.

So is distrust of the "elite", ie smart people. Populism is, essentially and actually, "politics for dummies".

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Why would Congressional elections reflect anything outside the district's will?

Republicans of course are perfectly happy with a process that doesn’t reflect the will of the majority of the American people – indeed, they’re counting on it.

The goal of voter suppression and disenfranchisement measures in Republican-controlled states is to establish and maintain Republican minority rule at the Federal level as a countermeasure to changing demographics hostile to the conservative agenda.

You are wrong. Its not distrust of "smart people" its distrust of the "DC swamp creatures". If you don't know the list of grievances by now you're a political hack. From the FBI falsifying evidence to get a FISA warrant, to illegally spying on Trump, to setting up General Flynn in a perjury trap, operations crossfire-hurricane and razor, letting Hillary go for her illegal bathroom server and colluding with Russians for the Steele Dossier, to the Mueller Investigation, two bullshit impeachments, a biased MSM, probable voter fraud, to Fau-Chi paying the Chinese Wuhan Lab (run by a Chinese general) to do germ warfare research to do "gain of function" research on bat viruses to make them more deadly, causing the Covid pandemic, to Nancy Pelosi calling for a military coup on Trump and General Milley making his subordinates only follow his orders, taking the nuclear football from the President, and on and on and on....

I've never understood the idealization of majority rule. There's certainly nothing inherently just or good about the "will of the majority". A bad idea, supported by only 49% of the people, doesn't suddenly become a good idea because 51% now support it.

 

[BluesLegend]

The left are desperately trying to convince us to abandon Trump.

 

[BluesLegend]

I've never understood the idealization of majority rule.

Dems only support majority rule when they agree with the outcome. When a clear and overwhelming majority voted to ban gay marriage in California they ran to the courts to overturn the will of the majority. Same with the law and Constitution, Dems ignore both when it suits them.

 

[dblack]

Sure, all kind of word-wrangling and equivocation you can do. Does is matter?

If you don't know the list of grievances by now you're a political hack.

LOL - Oh, I've heard the "list of grievances". Some of them are valid. Mosty of them are the irrational fears of stupid people. And that last bit is what populism banks on.

 

[dblack]

As they should. The Court is there to protect the minority from the unfettered will of the majority.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I don't know what will happen but people aren't going to take it much longer.

Well, the people are gong to have to take it for the next 40 years or so.

Because the courts are controlled by conservatives the judicial process is no longer available to combat Republican tyranny.

Things will change slowly over the coming decades via the political process as some red states become blue (or at least purple) and the nation continues to become more diverse and inclusive.

 

[BluesLegend]

As they should. The Court is there to protect the minority from the unfettered will of the majority.

And yet when it suits their scheming and rigging Dems advocate for majority rule. They can't have it both ways, they try because they are lowlife scheming scumbags.
