GOP Establishment’s Days Are Numbered

On April 20, House Republican leadership facilitated passage of a foreign-aid package that sends roughly $60 billion to Ukraine, $26 billion to Israel and Gaza, $8 billion to Taiwan, and exactly zero dollars to the southern border. The bill has since passed the Democrat-led Senate and was signed by President Joe Biden.

How can so-called fiscally responsible Republicans sign off on what is now $174 billion in direct Ukraine aid with a national debt of $34 trillion—more than $250,000 for every American household?

In their desire to send billions of dollars to a conflict that our commander-in-chief has still, to this day, offered no plan for winning, the GOP’s leadership not only spurned their party’s own supporters but overlooked an opportunity to appeal to independent Americans frustrated by both political parties.

They’ll just merge with the demonrat party.

You are forgetting something. It’s primary season. How many SERIOUS challengers have stepped up to publicly call out the rinos? No one stood up to McCarthy when they knew he’d be the next speaker, a job he wasn’t up to. This years challengers are few and far between. AOC went after an establishment democrat. She’s got more balls than our leaders.

I’m so disgusted with them I could puke.

don’t forget: big election right around the corner.

gotta load up the UKE laundry quick now that SBF and his cryto FTX got shut down after the 2022 election funding

If it’s like the NY GOP, the just pick candidates they know are weak and the strong ones that could have won are not funded.

I don’t know, the “go along to get along” people still want to keep the façade, and to the best of my knowledge, anyone can walk into the Republican headquarters and buy a membership card, and go down to the courthouse and change their party registration to Republican. There is no oath of fealty to the MAGA brand yet required.

Of course, the easy way for all involved is to simply become Democrats or Democrat Socialists.

The Progressives claimed to be “Republicans” right up until LBJ took office, but they had had been in full support of the Democrat agenda back when FDR was springing the New Deal on the American public.

There is always going to be an Establishment, though it has different characteristics over time. The 1960s GOP Establishment didn’t like Goldwater or Reagan and was centered in the Northeast. Today’s GOP Establishment loves to call itself Reagan Republicans, and it’s everywhere (except in the parts of the Northeast where a Republican can’t get elected). Republicans in Congress are always going to be led by people who can get money from big donors and bring the herd of cats together, not by people who have firm ideological convictions.

I think most of them already have.

Don’t know about the rest of you, but THIS Turnip is tapped OUT! Do what you can to make sure as little of your money as possible goes into Mother Government’s coffers.

She does NOT have your, or America’s, best interests at heart!

Today’s GOP Establishment loves to call itself Reagan Republicans

Today's GOP Establishment didn't like him in the 70s and 80s, and if Reagan acted like they do today, he never would have been elected.

The author of this column is Kevin Roberts, head of The Heritage Foundation.

In my humble opinion, he would be the perfect choice as DJT’s VP running mate.

He’s young, photogenic, and articulate. He flew to Davos and confronted the World Economic Forum brilliantly.

Best of all, he’s a Beltway outsider.

The may already have half of them are mole Rino’s $$$$$$$$$$$

To them loyalty is only as strong as the amount of money offered.

1. Because it is a rounding error out of the Federal budget with non-discretionary spending. It isn't the cause of our debt.
2. Because it is in our national interest to keep NATO, stymie the Russian-Iranian-Chinese alliance, help Taiwan deter China, restock US weapons and develop new weapons.
3. Because unlike most hysterical people here, they read the 4 bills and are willing to stand against lies
