Last week Tucker Carlson showcased the fact that the GOP is doing its best to lose November’s election.
He showed a clip of the Mitch McConnell admitting that the GOP would likely not take the Senate. McConnell and the rest of leadership don’t want to win. Carlson rightly suggested if the GOP really wanted to win, they’d run on crime and immigration. While the economy is reportedly voter’s number one issue, in reality it’s what goes on in their neighborhoods and on their streets that matter. If Americans don’t feel safe walking down their streets or in their homes or if they sit in the drive-thru lines because they’re scared to go into a restaurant or store, nothing else matters… not the economy, abortion, gender rights, or Ukraine.
But the GOP doesn’t care. They’re complaining about Biden’s spending, bemoaning government overreach and sanctioning Putin. Those issues aren’t going to return the GOP to power. But Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna McDaniel don’t care about returning to power. Their lives don’t change if the GOP doesn’t take back the Congress. They’ll still rule their little fiefdoms, still be invited to Georgetown cocktail parties and be feted by lobbyists, and of course they’ll still be on Sunday morning shows to feign outrage for the latest Democrat policy.
For these grifters the only difference between winning and losing in November is having to actually work for the American people… something they’re loathe to do.
But for the average American, the difference between winning and losing in November is literally life and death, lawlessness or civil society.
The world wouldn’t change overnight on the 8th, but what could happen is that the people who control the purse strings, who are supposed to actually make the laws could change. Just like in 1994.
And that’s a big deal because the people running America today are the same people who have been running America’s biggest cities into the ground for decades. And every American, whether they live in the San Francisco, Manhattan or Kalamazoo, MI recognizes that America’s coming apart at the seams. From not being able to go a day without seeing another video of a pack of thugs beating a cab driver in the street or attacking an employee in a restaurant to watching a seemingly endless parade of homeless people punching random strangers, Americans are weary. From staring with disbelief as a gang of hoodlums ransack a convenience store with impunity to watching video after video of people cussing at or otherwise attacking the police, Americans are watching the collapse of our society.
And this is the environment where Mitch McConnell whines about the quality of the GOP candidates. The problem isn’t Dr. Oz or Eric Schmitt or Herschel Walker, it’s that the GOP leadership that is not doing its job. Where is Newt Gingrich when we need him? The reality is, this election has been tailor made for the GOP, but that’s not the way it’s shaping up because McConnell, McCarthy, McDaniel and their puppeteer, the hack Frank Luntz – who happens to be McCarthy’s roommate or landlord or whatever – have decided they don’t want to actually save America, they’d rather sit back in the comfort of their minority position and pretend to care while enjoying the perks of “leadership”.
America needs warriors willing to brave the slings and arrows of the chattering classes, the leftist media, the Washington establishment and, most of all, the fascist NGO influencers who employ mobs on the streets to intimidate citizens and spineless CEOs and coerce into submission anyone who doesn’t agree with their agendas.
If the GOP really wanted to win in November, we’d see a new ad every single day showcasing the violence going on in our streets along with pictures of some thug who’s just assaulted a random senior as he’s released without bail by a George Soros funded district attorney. We’d see videos of illegals storming the border. At the end of every single ad would be a simple tagline: “If you want more of this, please vote for my Democrat opponent... If you want someone who’s going to do something about crime and the quality of American life, vote for me." (Helpfully I've created this video to give him an idea of what it might look like if he's a bit confused.)
It’s that simple. There are myriad problems caused by the Democrats, but those issues can’t be addressed without majorities, and none of them will flip Congress in November. But images of blood in the streets will. A daily total of national Fentanyl deaths will. Images of career criminals released on bail after having pummeled some teenager into unconsciousness will, and stories of illegal immigrants overwhelming communities will. Imagine if Dr. Oz ran daily ads with videos showcasing Philadelphia’s violence rather than his clownish grocery store disaster? No one in Pennsylvania cares about the price of guacamole, but they care about getting shot or stabbed in their own neighborhoods.

Yes and when there is obvious voter fraud, they don’t fight.
I can think of Bob Dornan’s defeat and Senator Coleman’s defeat by Franken
Both blatant election theft that the GOP said “tough luck” to.
Your point is well taken. If the Demorats were in that situation they would have demanded recounts until they won and if they did not win by recounts fight it out in the courts.
If I remember the Coleman/Franken race, some Democrat election official showed up three days after the election with a ballot box with most of the votes for Franken, enough to give him the win!
The gains by the GOP in November will be because of MAGA voters. The only races the RNC are pushing are for incumbents and squishy republicrat candidates - they don’t support the MAGA slate.
Prove me wrong.
On top of that, many here think or hope that a republican congress is going to rein in the deep state/FBI/intel community.
What a laugh.
They are compromised. Why do you think the FBI sat on the Biden laptop? Sure, they wanted to get rid of Trump, but they also own Biden. Same thing with Hillary over the foundation and her email scandal.
Comey admitted the dirty secret when he said that he fully expected her to win in 2016 but that did not happen because of MAGA voters. A severe miscalculation by Comey who was not furthering justice with his press conference fiasco, he was cementing the absolute power over the next administration that he would possess as the FBI director.
Comey gambled and lost. However, all his hand-picked personnel on the 7th floor continued to play the same game and try to cover for his bad bet by crippling the Trump presidency. The hubris is stunning.
The FBI has enough “kompromat” on McConnell, McCarthy, Graham, and other republicrats that they have little to fear with a GOPe congress.
Ironically, you can tell who they do not control because they “investigate” them or they selectively leak about them to their media allies. It’s a proven pattern. Look at the Matt Gaetz case for proof. Be wary of any “Republican firebrand” that they do not “investigate”. Odds are good that they are all hat and no cattle because they too are compromised.
We do seem to have some brave republican legislators who talk a good game, but how often have we been down this road in the last decade? Trey Gowdy. Darrell Issa. Lindsey Graham. Do I need to keep going?
Graham’s promise to hold hearings and get to the bottom of “insert hysteria of the month here” were a complete and total joke. He puffs up like a bantam rooster on his good friends (Hannity) show weekly but there is not enough viagra in the world when the lights turn on in his own hearing room.
Compromised.
The GOP will make gains in congress this fall largely due to the MAGA base they reject AND the trainwreck of the democrats. It won’t have anything to do with the RNC or GOPe. They will ride the coattails of MAGA and when they reach the finish line there will be knives galore in the back of MAGA even as the GOPe and RNC claims credit for the victory.
The GOP since 1989 has had one overriding concern, keeping the border open and the laws unenforced on fraudulently documented foreigners.
The illegal alien inundation is their top priority, it is why they assisted the Democrats to cheat Trump out.
Until we get rid of the Bush League Republicans, they will continue to assist the Democrats.
They have been a fake opposition party since 1989.
Bush League Republicans ARE Assistant Democrats.
We MUST elect better Republicans if we want an ACTUAL opposition party.
Whenever we have nominated a candidate that isn’t on board with the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA), the GOP has made sure that the Democrat wins.
Their favorite tactic is to put Karl Rove on Fix News to tell us all how bad a candidate they are.
They have done it repeatedly, so successfully that freepers echo their talking points right here.
Oz is hitting Fetterman very hard on this now. Closing the gap fast.
Good.
They are liberals who want everything on the cheap where their pocketbooks are concerned. As for the publics $ they are just as bad as the Democrats. They are liars and I respectfully disagree they are cowards when it comes to confronting the Democrats and especially the media. The only group the GOP establishment consistently isn’t afraid to fight and damn is their conservative base which they hate.
Excellent observations!
Republican pooRINO (Accomplice) party.
Fortunately the Republican party is being taken over by MAGA, which is reason enough to vote for them, even if there are still RINO accomplices left in it. And even if you are stuck voting for a RINO (i.e. your candidate lost the primary).
IMO-The Accomplice RINO can be managed to a point.
The Democrat Criminal can not.
The Criminal D Party is actively trying to completely destroy this country.
Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.
Also EVERYONE has to vote ON ELECTION DAY, if for no other reason to overwhelm the criminal's machines and make their cheating visible.
And people gave their lives so we could vote.
“ Fortunately the Republican party is being taken over by MAGA”
Yes, that is possible. The GOP will lose 20 +/- 5% of their voters and will never win another election UNLESS you make up those votes with patriotic American Democrats (you know, the ones who elected Trump) - and since most of those voters hate the name “Republican” worse than you can imagine, it’s probably better just to dissolve the GOP and start over.
They are doing this because RINO leadership in Congress has been historically more comfortable with second-tier power and those scraps that Democrat power deigns to throw to them from the table.
They’re like a bunch of neutered dogs lying fat and stupid at the table of the Robber Baron just waiting for a lamb leg bone or something.
I’m beginning to think that if you’re a GOP Congressman or Senator you have to relinquish your balls to advance in status. And, when they do get ousted in a Primary or something the vehemence and vitriol they spew at their constituents is astounding. I still remember Arlen Specter when he lost his cush Senator seat in a primary.

The republican party is like the illegal alien. They get all the benefits of being in charge, the money, the perks, the welfare, with none of the responsibilities.
“And every American, whether they live in the San Francisco, Manhattan or Kalamazoo, MI recognizes that America’s coming apart at the seams.

Don’t see any of that crap where I live. Guess we solved that problem. What are the rest of you doing about it? Let me guess - you’re sitting on your fat asses and whining.
MAGANs?
