The world’s shortest book: “Great Moderates In History”
Ah, good ol Rush
“moderate republican” is spelled DEMOCRAT. Change my mind.
“They don’t care - for the RINOs, losing the House majority in 2026 is worth it if they can impede Trump.”
Exactly right. They all both left and right work for the NWO anyhow. They have a common goal and that goal is hamper or eliminate any threats to their Global Order. Trump is the biggest threat right now.
Everything about this article is wrong.
“Moderate Republicans” actually benefit from the corruption in DC.
The feckless Republicans in Congress are dithering while a constitutional crisis has emerged. It is time for the
creation of a new party, and send the Republican Party the way of the Whigs and No-Nothings.
The exceptionally rich hide their income in tax-exempt "charitable" foundations not available to the middle class. Said foundations are often used for profitable purposes putting their competitors out of business with regulations foisted by the activist groups they support. I exposed the process with my first book and made a habit of exposing the practice in the early days of FR. Today, they launder the money first through intermediary foundations such as Tides.
“Moderate” conservatives are Democrat deep state plants.
Was the first Moderate Republican Alf Landon of KS? Or was there one sooner?
The problem? There really isn’t much evidence in the past several years to justify their fears.
Indeed incompetence cost everyone involved or not in controlling decisions.
The squishy moderates should be embracing Trump's agenda because the voters have said it's what they want. The voters have moved past appeasing the Democrats.
It's time for the moderates to do the same.

One of the founders of the Republican Party, Horace Greeley (publisher of Karl Marx in his New York Tribune), was a Leftist even by today’s standards. Does that count as a Republican moderate?
I heard that the Rhinos tried to clean that they voted no because it didn’t go far enough for conservatives. That is absolute and total b*******.
We need to make a list of those and begin vigorously targeting them for primary defeats.
Primaries are where change can take place because you only need 10% of the eligible voters. Just a few dozen people can toss out an incumbent. That’s how AOC got elected.
A lot of “Rah rah git the tar and feathers” here but too many have conveniently forgotten how omnibus bills have gotten us to where DOGE and more are needed today. ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ sounds catchy but, like all other omnibus bills, is laden with compromises and pork. It was probably great when it left President Trumps desk but now...
Congress spends too much time grandstanding and campaigning than buckling down on their responsibilities to their constituents. And ‘bill-writer aides’ from contributors do not proper staff make.
They should at least break bills down into categories (infrastructure, crime, etc.) and complete in-party debates prior to voting. Otherwise we have national embarrassments like this while the Evil Party gets to hoot again at our expense.
