The Republican Party is committing suicide
American Thinker ^ | 17 Nov, 2020 | Henry Edwards

There are so many assertive actions the Republican Party could take to support Trump, but it’s utterly passive. Its suicide comes at a cost for Americans.

If the Republican Party fails to use every possible stratagem to retain the Presidency in 2020, it will have signed its death certificate. The majority of the 73 million people whose votes for Trump were properly counted may well turn away from the Republican Party in disgust. Why bother to vote if the Republican Party is too feckless and incompetent to mount a successful challenge to a stolen election? However, this act of suicide comes at a cost.

When they’re accused of fecklessness, establishment Republicans, in their defense, will point to gains in the House and, if we’re lucky, to their holding the Senate gain. However, much of this gain isn’t due to the Republican brand but, instead, to Trump’s coattails.

At the “Republican brand” level, we have the self-styled “Lincoln Project” Republicans who aggressively tried to intimidate Trump’s lawyers before they got shamed and deleted their tweet:

Throughout history the left has never been kind to their opposition.

Where do you think the 6% of Republicans who DON’T agree with Trump are?

The GOP can get what their donors want, cheap labor and globalism, in the minority. This is the problem.

Over 70 million people voted for Trump not the GOP. On their best day they would be lucky to get 30 million votes. After the GA election I am dumping WinRed and will never support the GOP again for failing to support Trump. They really do not care one way or the other. Infrastructure is useless if it lacks support. 70+ million Trump voters need to dump the along with FOX.

FOX is following the NFL down the flusher.

We'll see if the GOP chooses the same path.

Wow. Project much?

He’s speaking the truth—I know it’s hard for the GOP faithful to understand, but we’re done with playing their game.

The GOP is done if they abandon Trump.

I was done voting for the likes of Bush, McCain and Romney Republicans. Then Trump came along and I voted in a primary for the 1st time. Mans a fighter.

Scum always rises. I too will not vote for the other side of the same coin. Not that we will ever have free elections in this country if Trump doesn’t win in the courts.

No, we got your number democrat.

Y’all are worse than the seminar callers who call RUSH... ‘I am a lifelong Republican but... {insert democrat talking point here}

Ya’ll are the circle jerks who shoot their own side at any opportunity.... ‘I am a patriot and am never going to support the patriot side because... {insert vile attack here}

Go back to the democrat underground.

I’m not quite there yet but “I didn’t leave the Republican Party. They left me.”

Put me down as another glad to see the eunuch party (GOP) in its death throes and excited to see something that better represents the interest of constitutionalists, heritage Americans and anti-communists.
