The election was rigged. Elected Republicans did not care and ridiculed citizens who raised concerns or swore under oath.

The Republican Party is dead.

When they say “suburban”, they mean those that are in the top 10% - 20% of income. They aren’t coming back. The party of financial capital is the Democrats. You are right, forget about them and continue to bring the working class over, which will pull in all sorts of groups. Why chase such a small subset of people as what they mean by “suburban”?

The brashness that gave Trump appeal with new demographics is what hurt him with groups like suburban women.

The extremists that are now the democrat party may send those leftist women packing soon enough. With plans to displace their daughters' abilities to receive athletic scholarships in college, by supporting men who pretend to be women, soccer moms will witness their own politics harming their own daughters. Add to that, to the zeal to inflict female restrooms with predatory men . . . it may take a wave of violence on young girls before these stupid, dense broads wake up.

The GOP is dead. They just don’t know it yet.
They know it.

They've been tryig to squeeze money out of me for months using scare tactics and lies...like they're fighting Biden's agenda.

They send me texts.

The first line of the last text I received said "If you still support the GOP, we're begging..."

It's a text, so I replied, "You're kicking a dead horse.

You can all rot in hell starting with McConnell on down and that includes Karl Rove and the honorable Bill Barr too.

Not one red cent to help the GOP/deep state socialism light agenda.

Republicans are dead to me".

“ With Donald Trump out of office, Republicans now face the difficult balancing act of retaining new voters he brought into the party while bringing back voters he alienated.”

So much of what accounts for critical analysis, is just wishful thinking. There were reports posted here showing Trump increased in nearly every demographic including suburban women in the last election. The only demographic he faltered in was white males. How does a person so alienate part of the population they increase their re-election numbers by 11 million people?

Nope. Regardless of President Trump I will never ever vote for another GOP member on any ballot. Frankly at this point I may never vote again since my vote is just getting stolen. All you lifelong GOP throwing out these life rings in hopes you can feel some of us back in so the gravy train of money starts again. Laughable.

We hear this nonsense year after year. Including from many here.
I’m done with the GOP. It’s your choice for those here if you want to
continue to be suckers. I’m choosing not to be a sucker.

I read the article with an open mind to new ideas and some hope. My conclusion is the author is clueless.

Trump gave the GOP a playbook for success. But the GOP establishment leadership have no interest. Why? Because it is diametrically opposed to their donors. Trump is a populist. The GOPe will never be until they get new leadership.

Whether Trump takes it over or starts a new party is up to the GOPe. But the GOPe wants Trump gone. Whatever Trump decides, his base will follow.

Trump never lost the suburb vote. They made up a huge portion of the silent majority. The work in the cities where it is dangerous to your employment to let on that you are a Trump supporter or even conservative.

By your “there is no reason to vote at all” does that include the dems? And I don’t mean voting for the rats, but the dems voting.

Really how many dollars and people does the RNC need to surrender to the collectivists? I would imagine you can roll over for $5.

Nothing new, like never showing FDR in a wheelchair
Apparently, FDR's health was so bad they had to construct a secret RR spur from Grand Central to the Waldorf Astoria that until recently only the top echelon of the NYMTA was aware of. Whenever FDR came to NYC he would ride in a specially modified rail car. It built to transport his Pierce Arrow limo. The rear seat in that car was modified to prevent him from drooping over whenever the car hit a bump or rounded a corner. Also the suspension system on the rail car was heavily modified to minimize lateral motion, his paralysis was THAT bad. So bad that his aides and the SS saw to it that he would arrive and leave in secrecy. Even most of the employees at the Waldorf wouldn't know when he would be there in his special suite.

All this talking about voting the rinos out!!! How do you expect to do that when your vote truly does not count. If you think it does you are naive

why should we support any longer those who betrayed the President, the Republican base, and the nation and ensured that we will never have fair elections again?


You have to ask who are the GOPe representing? Their Globalist donors. Not Trump, not their base, not the Constitution.

Lets see if they can be elected to dogcatcher with just their Globalist donors.

When McConnell, McCarthy, Romney, Sasse, etc, are gone, that’s when they could ever even ponder having some of President Trump’s voters.
