The consequences will be felt across the entire party. A friend of mine for a fundraising phone call from the RNC two weeks ago. The jackass begging for money on the other end of the line turned absolutely hostile when my friend said he wouldn’t be contributing to the GOP anymore.

He couldn’t understand why someone SOLICITING DONATIONS would act that way. I explained to him that the people making these calls knew damn well that they’re going to be out of a job soon ... because a big chunk of the money raised by these political parties is used to pay the salaries of the people who work for the organization.

“””What motivated those Republicans to vote guilty?”””


The Seven knew in advance there would not be 11 other Republicans joining them. Yet, they chose to oppose the 75 million Trump voters and run the risk of being removed from office by those 75 million. Why?

Since Obama we have had the saying: “Elections matter and have consequences.”

Since November we have a new saying: “Elections DO NOT matter and have consequences.”

If the Political Class can rig the 2020 election and get away with it, then these seven GOP traitors have nothing to fear in future rigged elections.

The burden is now upon the State Legislatures to tighten the election laws in each State or we are doomed.

There are a lot of opinions here. I think most agree the Republican party has been infiltrated with Dems, NWO, Globalists, you name it. However, it would seem we need to get a STRATEGY that will work against the Uniparty. President Trump, among his other wins, exposed the Elite Uniparty. There seems to be about a dozen or so Repubs with integrity. There are many areas that need attention starting with fixing The Steal so it does not happen again... How do we fix that? Next, expose the R’s that are infiltrators. Force the R party to somehow cut off their funds for re-election. After that ....... Strategy people. Start here!

“ What motivated most pubbies to vote not guilty? A public vote. A secret vote would have convicted him. Any fool conservative still voting Uniparty (R) is a big part of the problem”

Seems the best way. The key is the primaries. Conservatives have to show up for the primaries. Avg voter participation in primaries is 25%. It should be at least as high as the general.

Not voting and 3rd party only helps the LEFT consolidate power.

The 2020 election was stolen from Trump, but it only happened because of the cooperation of RINO-controlled state legislatures, RINO Secretaries of State, RINO governors who would not call the legislature into session, RINO judges who would not hear evidence, and RINO members of SCOTUS who decided Texas did not have standing.

RINOs are the enemy within.

I urge all patriots to STAY in the GOP and PURGE THE RINOs in the 2022 primaries.

Don't fall for the argument that all is lost because now the Dems will cheat on every election. Dems will always cheat. The RINO cooperation in 2020 was obtained by the promise that only Trump would be cheated. Then the GA run-offs happened and the RINOs now know perfectly well what will happen in 2022 if they don't enforce election reform.

Nicky Haley went on Leftist ‘Politico’ specifically to plead with Republican senators to find Trump Guilty.

Opportunist Nikki Haley betrays Trump and his supporters as she reserves her seat in The Swamp

The last four years have revealed many disappointments among so-called conservatives. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley may be one of the most predictable reversals out there.

They aren’t actually republicans or promised something. Or want to go back to the way it was before.

The GOP is dead. The brand is too stained. New party or death...

It’s a waste of time trying to figure out why. Like a thief, a cheating spouse, or a cancer. “Why” is a waste of time. It’s enough to simply know that it is the reality.

The only thing to use mental energy on, it how to get rid of it.

Why should they without election reform. I won’t. The polls are rigged.

Yes, Murkowski won in 2010 as an independent, but the Republican who beat her in the primary was a nobody (do you remember his/her name?)

Murkowski won because there were enough "moderate" republican votes combined with democrat votes (they strategically voted for Murkowski because they knew the dem candidate had no chance of winning).

That won't happen in 2022. Murkowski was already in trouble with Alaskan voters because of her caving into the Kavenaugh sham hearings. Since the Trump era, the "moderate" vote is a fraction of what it was. NO ONE who voted for Trump is going to vote for Murkowski. I just hope the Republican party is smart and nominates a strong candidae against her in the Primary and Trump goes up there to campaign.

Try thinking outside the box. Doing the same thing over and over again isn’t working. In fact, it’s making things worse. The electoral primary system is ineffective when it comes to removing incumbents. They win over 90% of their elections.

Cassidy-a democrat b4 he became republican(just like Specter). Stabs us in the back at the right moment(just like Specter). The only thing left is to go back to being a democrat(just like Specter). Just reelected so he’s safe for 6 more goddam years. I’m getting too old for this. Perhaps a few kamikaze’s would work. Primaries are better. I’d still be ok with Collins. It’s Maine after all.

You must be kidding, what is already in the house as the goals is more than enough motivation to get out and vote for CONSERVATIVES. Whatever party they run under, the most CONSERVATIVE will be voted for. We will have 3 budgets of 4 trillion dollar federal deficit by the next time we vote for senators and congress critters.

The 3rd party may not win but at least you are not voting for people that hate you and don’t have the same beliefs that you do. There are few that do in the Weasel (Whig) party and they would probably join the 3rd party.
