You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?

If there’s a clear lesson to come out of Tuesday night’s bizarre midterm election, it’s that Republicans can no longer be content with defensive victories or defensive politics. To win political power and do what must be done to save the country, Republicans will have to go on offense, present a compelling vision for the future, and engage culture war issues like abortion and critical race theory without apologies.
When they do that, they win. But it stands in stark contrast to the perennial advice of Beltway GOP consultants, who think it best to avoid major culture war issues like abortion. Indeed, the “official narrative” of corporate media in the wake of Tuesday’s midterms is that abortion was a big winner for Democrats, who supposedly capitalized on the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, successfully making abortion a major electoral issue and blunting a red wave by boosting turnout among young, pro-abortion voters.

The GOP will never be a conservative party, they may throw conservatives an occasional bone, but that’s it.
If any Democrat wins their race after the first day swearing-in, they should be prohibited from allowing their family to be there for the swearing-in. Just as Nancy Pelosi did to Claudia Tenney in 2021. That would be a good start.
Ben Shapiro is the Jim Cramer of political advise.
He should retire in shame after pushing the clot shots.
“So you have a political party that is destined for oblivion — because liberals hate them and conservatives don’t trust them.”
Spot on.

“And that would be different if the Republicans lost big how?”
Sorry, should have been more clear.
Your point is well taken, the Republicans do always catch the blame, whether in power or not.
My fear is that, with the help of MSM, the Democrats can use “failures of the Republicans” as fodder for the POTUS, Senate and H/R 2024 elections. With a very real possibility of not only losing control of the H/R and Senate (assuming we get control) but also not regaining the W/H . . .
I posted on that topic yesterday.
Some states just mail out unsolicited ballots willy nilly to whoever is on the voter rolls.
We don’t know who fills out the ballots.
We don’t know if the ballots ever got to the person intended.
They aren’t notarized.
There aren’t enough voters to out-vote the mystery ballots.
This is the very reason we have process servers in civil cases...there is an assurance that the defendant is aware he or she has been served and it is documented.
That said, here is where WaPo got their numbers:
https://www.electproject.org/home
Midterm total votes in New York District 4
2018 - 100,000 R / 160,000 D
2022 - 138,000 R / 128,000 D (95% counted so far)
Republican voters UP 38,000 from 2018
Democrat voters DOWN 32,000 from 2018
ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!
Republicans go on the offensive? I hope I live long enough to see tha; however, it has to be done right (i.e., attack the problems and issues with hard-hitting solutions, not pie-in-sky, MAGA-like platitudes and personality attacks. )
Best part of the article...”Sorry, but the era of normalcy and being left alone is over. The left will never leave us alone. They want to win and wield power, and if we want to stop them, we will have to win and wield power ourselves. Conservatives who want to be left alone will simply lose, as they have been for decades now.”
Because not enough Republicans bothered to vote.
Only 46.9% turnout.
You have to show up if you want to win.

This is WHY the Republicans must do the SAME as the Democrats when it comes to “ballot” harvesting. They’ve (D) perfected the art (of the steal) and the Republicans are still looking around, like idiots, wondering who stole their lunch boxes! Unbelievable! If some of our people are too lazy to go out and vote on Election Day, we’ll gladly take their ballets and hand deliver them to the precincts on Election Day. One better- we’ll hold them back and wait to see what the Dem counts are and then come up with the necessary numbers needed to squeak out the win....Sound familiar?
So you have a political party that is destined for oblivion — because liberals hate them and conservatives don’t trust them.

BINGO! Hence why I left the R Party back in December 2020 after the last straw. The Democrats are hell bent on turning the US into a Socialist hellhole and will go to any means (especially illegally) to accomplish that. Losing a Congress, Senate, Presidencies, State Legis, etc...here and there are only speed bumps, for them, in the their End Game. The Republican Party is a useless party if we’re expecting them to save the Republic....Our side really, really, really needs to learn from history. These so-called “leaders” we have are leading us into a future slavery under the marxists rule!
“Why was there no red wave?”
Glad you asked.
Because while the FR analysis of why people hate the Democrats is 100% correct, FR is blind to the fact that people hate the Republicans MORE, and for good reason.
It took the 1968-1980 period to turn elections from who do you like to who do you hate, but we’ve been stuck there for years now. Appeals about policy are fruitless.
To hit back hard, an opposition party very different from the GOP would have to exist, and run on JD Vance’s “The decline of America is a choice” slogan.
The GOP cannot do this because the choices that are destroying the nation, the really important ones, are beloved by the “donor community” and therefore are shared by both parties.
Consider: Is there another state that selects leaders by voting that has a “donor community”?
The GOP cannot and will not make “Reverse the decline” (a fancy way to say MAGA) their policy, because they do not want the decline to be reversed. They want to make it worse. And, yes, they want to make it worse to make the “donor community” richer.
Just look how far they were willing to go to destroy MAGA. OK. mission accomplished. MAGA is destroyed. What now?
1) National decline is a policy. Vote against it. Make yourself a single issue voter.
2) Red cat, blue cat, no matter. Does it catch mice? (Thanks Deng)
3) DeSantis/Vance 2024. And let DeSantis do the talking and Vance do the thinking.
4) Mar a Lago? Turn out the lights. Donald is an outer boroughs guy, like me. That’s why I love him so much. But any New Yorker up from the streets knows when to fold the con. Time’s up.
The globalist GOPe will never be a conservative party ...
There. Fixed it.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
Yes yes yes.
Reagan was wrong. The problem is not that the State is too strong, the problem is that the state is too weak. The State is weak enough to allow bolshevik infiltration culminating in revolution without doing anything about it.
And once the communists have total control, the weak State will vanish in the blink of an eye. To paraphrase Erdogan, “Freedom is like a train. You take it to your stop, and then you get off”.
Failure to suppress the Summer 2020 riots with violence greater than the rioters could deploy has made an already dangerous situation much worse.
The GOP cannot do this because the choices that are destroying the nation, the really important ones, are beloved by the “donor community” and therefore are shared by both parties.

Love this line !!! You nailed it about the “Donor Community”.....the Republican Party is so beholden to it that it will NEVER do the right thing to go against it which is so needed during these times!
Well, obviously if there are two candidates in November 2024 and one of them is any conceivable Democrat and the other one is Trump, yes, I will be voting for him.
You are a smart guy and a good commenter, but I disagree with you about Trump’s future. Yes, all the commenters with any reach condemning him now have bad motives, but that doesn’t make them wrong.
In my opinion, he will fade rapidly now. The proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating - and we got food poisoning Tuesday.
