Why Aren’t the Republicans Fighting Harder?

Either, the GOP is too fearful. The GOP is ignorant. Or, the GOP is a part of the problem

As a public speaker, I have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with various political clubs, groups and organizations. When it comes to the question and answer portion after my U.S. Constitution presentations, the most common question I get is, “Why don’t the Republicans fight harder?”

I tell the audience there are three possible answers. Either, the GOP is too fearful. The GOP is ignorant. Or, the GOP is a part of the problem.

It may be a little bit of all of them.

Easy.....because according to Senators McConnell, Rand Paul, Redacted, Redacted, Redacted & Redacted, Congress is but a small business employing just a mere 45 people. We know that is true because someone (also named Redacted) submitted documents stating as much in order for Congress and their staffs to be eligible for taxpayer subsidies on the exchange for small business.

We all know Senators McConnell, Rand Paul, Redacted, Redacted, Redacted & Redacted would never, ever lie.

So what should we expect from only 45 people against Obama? Of course they are fighting as hard as they can. But there is only so much 45 people can do.
(do I really need a sarcasm tag?)

The problem is VERY SIMPLE:

The Republicans are listening to their ADVISERS (most of them gay, by the way), rather than to THEIR BASE. Their ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way) are simply a 5th column. I don’t know how they infiltrated but they are CLEARLY calling the shots here.

As long as they continue to trust their ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way), they will continue to be WORTHLESS.

Thankfully Cruz doesn’t listen to these ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way), and that is why Republicans are more scared of Cruz than even the Democrats - they know they cannot use their ‘advisers’ to control him.

Perhaps Cruz has figured something out...but I wonder what?

Today’s Republican Party, “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”.

“Either, the GOP is too fearful. The GOP is ignorant. Or, the GOP is a part of the problem.”

It’s clearly the latter.

You want to see the GOP fight? Elect a Conservative for POTUS. They’ll fight that person tooth-and-nail, just like they did when Reagan was President. His most ardent adversaries were members of the GOP House and Senate.

We saw the same thing with the Tea Party. Boehner, McConnell, Rove, The Bush family, Romney, Priebus, and the the rest of the establishment fought the Tea Party as aggressively as Democrats.
