Looking at the whole of the last four years, how will history judge Mike Pence?

Would he a good candidate in 2024? Would he want to be?

What about Ted Cruz?

Or Josh Hawley?

Could Donald Trump come back?

If, behind the scenes, China just bought an American Presidential Election, one might ask “how many political parties does communist China have?”

Spot on. Our best bet is to primary out the GOP-E/rhinos.
Demon rats always unite behind their candidate. So in battleground states, assuming 50-50 split for argument sake, that gives them close to 50%. How do we possibly win splitting our vote in any of these ratios:

American Party 45%, GOP 5%
American Party 40%, GOP 10%
American Party 35%, GOP 15%
American Party 30%, GOP 20%
American Party 25%, GOP 25%

I passed 3rd grade math, so can confidently call these races... WE LOSE, PERIOD!!!

If the American Party candidate wins the primary, I just don’t see them picking up 100% of the GOP primary votes in the general, because I also don’t believe in unicorns. So in 50-50 battleground states, that means we lose.

Pence has no real political legs.

As exciting as watching paint dry. That may work in Indiana, but not in a US general election.

GOP has morphed into alt-Democrats.
We need a new conservative party.

So this election theft doesn’t seem to have stopped you from dreaming about future GOP victories. How exactly does that work?

Ted Cruz is not NBC. next up will be JEB. No one else besides Sarah Palin has the same level of balls as Trump. And the GOP has no idea how to deal with the fraud. This is unfortunately a generational oligarchical shift.

You are presuming that the next election will not be rigged like this one was.

Yes, that little problem is there. As it goes now, it doesn't matter if our candidate has 100 million votes, his total will always come out at 50 million and he'll get 200 EV. But maybe the SCOTUS will fix it. Pff. Maybe the NEW GOP will fix it. Where is it?

Yes, how do we fix cheating elections?

I’m sorry but your personal attack is exactly what you hypocritically call out as stone cold luzertalk, the talk of a GOPe or RINO. Worse, the talk of a clueless cheerleader.7

But now, every time I see him, my heart rate goes up to about 150 from my usual 60. Then I have to watch paint to calm me down.

The people who were TEA Party types waited for their leader and when he arrived it was Trump. The Country Club-Never Trumper crowd hated Reagan and all the Reaganites, despised the TEA Party and now they despise Trump and all his supporters.

The problem is that Mitch McConnell failed to cultivate a stronger GOP over the last decade because of his own feeble character. It was not so much a matter of Senators reacting to individual constituencies, it was that a feckless GOP leadership bred a weak-minded party that had no experience with nor tolerance for hard-ball politics.

Just compare the behaviors of Pelosi and Schumer in the two weeks prior to Democrats retaking the House in 2018 with McConnell, Ryan, and McCarthy in the same period to see what I mean. Democrats spent a decade honing their party discipline while McConnell, Corker, and the rest created one internal conflict after another, losing crucial seats along the way. They let Adam Schiff run roughshod over Devin Nunes in 2017 despite Nunes running the committee. They let Dianne Feinstein run all over Chuck Grassley during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings despite running that committee, too.

I believe that Senators believe they were elected to do their party's bidding, since it's the parties that funded their elections. I think they vote for McConnell for leader out of fear of losing their campaign funding if they oppose him and he still wins. Nobody wants to be the one who was left behind if he wins. Since within the GOP everybody has been raised to suspect the votes of the others, nobody wants to take the chance that their colleagues will cave at the last minute, since somebody always does.

If you look at recent history, Democrats always back the candidates their states put up, but not McConnell. Because he feared a growing Tea Party presence in the Senate, look how McConnell treated:

We might have been saved from the likes of Chris Coons (who got Jeff Flake to turn against Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing), Claire McCaskill, Joe Donnelly, and Doug Jones if McConnell showed some nerve and backed their opponents at critical times instead of putting his own power first.

If Mitch McConnell had put his ego and his powerlust aside and supported the primary candidates of his party, he'd have had a much stronger Senate these past six years. Instead, he led his caucus to defeat.

To fix this, we have to focus on changing the leadership first, and not with next-in-line seat warmers. We need the next generation of leaders to step up now and push the old guard aside. We need our own AOC to scare McConnell and McCarthy into stepping aside to prevent worse from happening.

In the Senate, that might be Tom Cotton (43), Todd Young (48), Joni Ernst (50), Ted Cruz (50), or even Mike Lee (49).

In the House, it would be less important until Republicans win back control. Current informal leaders like Jim Jordan (56) and Elise Stefanik (36) are effective now.

The Sovereign of our nation is The People.

On January 6th the populist anti swamp movement was reborn.

“The GOP are belong to US!”

The totalitarian left felt a mere twitch of The People’s collective will.So did the GOP.

It scared the bejasus out of them oth and they began freaking out, making them impossibly incompetent to run the country.

Now the swamp knows it can never defeat the People. Their cause is futile.The GOP also knows that its swamp days are numbered.The pork train is about to be forever derailed.

And so they want to destroy everything before they leave?

Leave they must.

Donald Trump is the duly elected President of the United States. Something they cannot forget.And the swamp knows that America knows that Donald Trump is President.

They freak out because they know they reap the whirlwind.And they will pay.

Everything this quisling administration does from now on is illegal.Everything that Congress does from now on is illegal.And the GOP at uts RINO level is complicit, including Pence.

Let the leftist totalitarian freak out continue.

It shows America that Washington is now in the hands of Quislings.

And America will not tolerate it.

Mike Pence will bever again frequebt the White House.The future belongs to a man or woman who is invigorated by the animated contest of liberty.

Look not just to the obvious politicians.Look instead to find another successful private citizen who can steer our course according to the Trump doctrine.
