John Solomon's analysis of the 2020 election and a proposed way forward ignores a major issue.

Namely, the failure of the GOP at the State and Federal level to stand 100% behind Trump as he fought the results from the Nov 3 election.

The GOP had their last chance to stand behind Trump on January 6th and instead of standing behind Trump the GOP Representatives and Senators stabbed Trump in the back.

Why didn't 100% of the GOP Representatives and Senators vote against the Electoral Vote?

The GOP cooperated with the Democrats on the Big Steal.

It would not have been possible without their cooperation.

And Republicans — who controlled the legislatures in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona and the constitutional right to set the rules — hardly put up a fight

Yep, The Republican State Legislatures had all the Power to right the wrongs in this election and thy decided to take the Money instead.

The only part of the headline that’s stands out:
“the GOP lost...”
They lost in ways they’ve not even begin to fathom yet....
They’re zombies....dead “its” walking.

They did not "Lose control" they gaily ceded it so they could return to their pompous living and absence of responsibility. TRAITORS TO ALL OF AMERICA!

But they also transformed the way political donations were spent by imposing corporate governance and specific returns on investment. Every recipient had to deliver very specific outcomes to keep getting money, governed by lengthy contract-like documents.

Hold on now, that cannot be legal!

The plane-loads and semi truck loads of fake ballots along with the Dominion Internet connections helped get Joek and the CGWhore over the top.

I guess John Solomon isn't allowed to mention "targeted vote fraud" in his reporting...

Th GOP didn’t lose control. They willingly gave it up. They allowed and even encouraged ballot fraud to allow it to happen.

Anyone voting for ANY GOP member is simply asking for more of the same. It is all Kubuki theater, nothing but Bread & Circuses to keep you entertained.

I estimate that small government conservatives are 25% of the consistent voting public [19% voted Perot in 1992, DESPITE all the Media-Uniparty-Deep State dirty tricks, which President Trump has shown us to be real things].

Wait'll these Repukes get a load of the Woke Twenty Five Percent not voting for Repuke surrender-monkeys...

“...the traditional game of finger-pointing and recrimination will begin inside the GOP.“

No way. These guys are CELEBRATING.

THEY just got elected and re-elected!
THEY have big income for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
THEY have AAA healthcare for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES
THEY got rid of Donald Trump; and now can get back to corruption as usual in DC. They can get back to tuning that $200,000. a year into MILLIONS - really quickly!

Who CARES if they’re in the minority... THAT way, they can’t be expected to DO anything for their constituents! Why... how CAN they?? They have NO power! - and they say that is OUR fault...

“””Repuke surrender-monkeys”””


Calling the GOP ‘Repuke surrender-monkeys’ is much too kind.

No, the GOP was a willing CO-CONSPIRATOR in taking out Trump.

Pence is the biggest POS ever.. I blame him the most! If he couldn’t be loyal to a man that he agreed to partner with and run for the presidency you cannot trust his Christian convictions. From pence mouth flows rivers of living water about Jesus but his heart is full of betrayal. The Lord said judge the person by its fruits. Rotten apple globalist badtard!! RINO-religion in name only! He is one freaking man I would not wanna be in a foxhole him during war! Effin coward!! As much as Copeland is despise and I too do not like him because he comes across to me as phony I’d rather have him in my foxhole then Pence anytime! At least I know where he’s coming from!

I hope Trump starts a new party and all existing GOP members desert their sinking ship and join him. I’m done with the GOP.

They abandoned Trump.
