Yes, I agree.
Moderates hate Trump. My daughter is a lukewarm Republican more moderate, she hates Trump but said he would vote for Desantis. My other daughter is a stronger Republican and would vote for Trump as a last resort—she literally would hold her nose while pushing the ballot button.
silly but moderates see the deep danger of the left but millions of other moderates are similar.
We saw Trump and abortion cause the “red ripple” in 2022 and EXACTLY the same 2 reasons gave Beshears the victory.
Trump is old, people are brainwashed by the unrelenting lame stream media attacks on him. We need someone younger, untrained by smear campaigns, fresh etc.
And honestly we need to give back some measure of early abortion rights. (most) Women in this country are just set on murdering babies.
I meant to wrote “moderates DONT see the danger of the left”
I like your posts and agree with them. I was a big poly sci, history freak for a long time and saw every trend and outcome not fit the rules anymore from the nineties onward, in time to coincide with political correctness. My son says they all suck, and he’s right. Elites are gonna elite.
Like you, growing up during Nixon and coming to fatherhood under Reagan, we believed in the flag, the constitution and our own goodness as a nation. And I like the way you did that, not discouraging others from doing the same because of a badly broken and corrupt system.
You’re an abortion loser.
You’re an abortion loser.
With a retort like that, is there any wonder why the right continues to lose ground in this country?
the GOPe’s number 1 political enemy is MAGA
MAGA has to win that battle for control of the party before there can be real change
The Republican Party, hasn't learned its lesson from 2000, when Gore tried to overturn the election in Florida. They've done nothing over the 23 years that have passed since then. And people still want to be registered in that party? I just don't get it. January 6th did it for me.
“I see three possibilities:
1) The elections are rigged and voter input doesn’t really matter.
2) It’s not a two-party system and the GOP isn’t trying to win.
3) The GOP just makes bad choices because it’s unlucky.”
4). The electorate is changing along with cultural and societal norms.”
Voter fraud, in the sense of ballot stuffing via mail in ballots and fake registered individuals is MOST detectable when voter turnout is high because Votes>Registered voters. See Pennsylvania in 2020. The fifth options, poor voter interest, makes it much easier for elections to be shifted by ballot stuffing techniques, and harder to detect. Voter Turnout appears to have been poor to mediocre for Republicans.
Silly response to my pithy comment.
Sidesteps the issue.
You are pro-abortion.
You think Republicans should be pro-abortion and run on a pro-abortion platform because they will “win.”
What is the difference between pro-abortion Democrat and pro-abortion Republican candidates?
GOP won’t do iit. Until folks wake up to the reality that the establishment GOp is the problem nothing will change
4th possibility- GOP is a minority party. Sort of like the communists were in 1950.
>>Not me. Abortion is the Number 1 key issue that defines the rest of the Party.
Good for you, so I will put you in the camp of you would rather save no unborn children if you can’t save all of them....so you are complicit with democrats then.
And I’ll put you in the pro-choice camp.
As you think it’s OK to choose abortion for some babies in order to save more.
It’s hard to explain fundamental conservative values to those who would compromise with the pro-aborts for political expediency, so I won’t even try.
Have a good day.
“...it is hard not to agree with the people who say all is already lost.”
If they are going to hand the libs what they want and lay down and die, it is lost. This is why it is important to get to the poles. And not necessarily to vote against liberals but also to put people in the conservative side with a little intelligence, forethought, and pelotas. How can we clean up the left side if we can’t clean up the right? And we are supposed to be working together with them with them seeing what we want and trying to make it happen. That ain’t happened since before Reagan.

Well Long Island went almost totally Red last night. Nassau County Legislature and the three Nassau County town governments went Red or stayed Red. Republicans took over Suffolk County govt and while Dems won the twin forks of the Hamptons and Southold, the GOP swept three other towns with far greater populations.
“The Republican Party Presides Over Yet Another Election Disaster...
The common denominator is Ronna McDaniel.”
Well, that is one common denominator. Another is that DJT is the putative head of the GOP in the eyes of the electorate.
Yes. And as far as when we lose, what happens when we win? Aside from Trump and Reagan when we won, we still lost on policy, laws and issues because the Republicans always betray.
Privacy violations, civil rights violation, gun control, kowtowing to the deep state, never ending wars, out of control spending, a criminal justice system that is an absolute travesty. All things the Republican Party promised to stop and I was betrayed time and again. I got all this by voting Republican. You are willing to give and give and give on all the issues until we reach a point we don’t stand for anything.
So you and the GOP can go pro-choice but it will go without me. I won’t pedal flesh for votes!
I’m prolife, but I’m not blind.
If the Republican Party insists on making abortion their main issue at election time, well then….
Enjoy president Gavin Newsom.
No one said to make abortion the central issue of an election but if the GOP comes out for abortion then win without me. Funny how it was a winning issue for Reagan, Bush41/Bush43 and Trump.
I keep hearing liberal establishment Republicans say we are good with changing our platform to abortion up to 15 weeks. Killing a baby at 10 weeks vs 9 months is the same result for the baby is it not? Is the babies life worth any less at 10 weeks vs. 9 months?
Are you pro life? You are content to trade the lives of babies for a Republican president. I have to answer for my actions and I won’t say to God I pedaled babies lives for a political office.
The tunnel vision of a lot of the Republican Party and their voters is gonna effectively put one of the worst persons to ever run for president in office, Because you can’t see past your abortion vision.
Am I willing to put abortion on the back burner even though I’m pro life TO KEEP GAVON NEWSOM out of the presidency. You’re g-damn right I am!!!!!!! Because I know what kind of damage that evil SOB will do if he gets into power.
