That’s not enough to frighten me in to voting Republican. You’re going to have to do better than that. I simply believe people just don’t care what happens to them any more. I really don’t. Plus, Republicans won’t do what they say they’re going to do either. So, what’s your solution now?

Remember when Republicans controlled the Presidency, House, and Senate, and with this the unfettered opportunity to roll back decades of gun laws forced on us by liberals while shoring up the rights gun owners currently enjoyed?

Instead, gun owners were thanked for their unwavering, steadfast and loyal support to the Republican Party with a bumpstock ban.

There was a thread yesterday on a NR article titled Kamala Harris Is Far Worse Than Hillary Clinton. Several of us rejected that assertion...sure, Harris is a detestable pol, but really...worse that Hillary?

And thus starts the usual round of "this nominee is worse than Hitler and we gotta vote against them or it's TEOTWAWKI." I mean...ok...Harris isn't Sarah Palin and she'd be a terrible VP and eventual P once Biden suffers a double-tap headshot suicide.

But, as you said, ya gotta do better than this, folks. The average voter wants to vote FOR someone. So do I. Biden' support is largely based on him not being Trump. So fight for America, not against statism.

So you would not vote Republican, how about Kanye West? The worst dread of all is to blindly vote in Biden-Harris, with almost certain ascent of Comma-la-la to the Presidency within months if not days of inauguration.

Comma-la-la has no appreciation at ALL of the whole American Experiment, the ideals embodied in the Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the US Constitution as amended, particularly the Bill of Rights. She is an American “citizen” ONLY on the basis of having been born on US soil, and has no historical basis to compare herself to the heritage of the Americans of African origin who were descended from slaves imported centuries ago to what has become the United States of America.

It is doubtful she could pass the same test for citizenship that anyone applying for naturalization must successfully pass, as part of the requirements to be sworn in as a citizen.

Republicans won’t do what they say they’re going to do either.

**************

True, but the base allows them to get away with it election after election. We need to hold them accountable for their false promises and duplicity. Until we do that nothing will change.

To reject your assertion and point to Trump’s record in spite of weak Congressional support.
