Hannity and Pirro, and probably Ingraham, all are beholdin’ to the Fox Board of Directors for their paychecks. McCarthy’s BFF, Ryan, is on the Board. They have to toe the line.

(How does Tucker get away with being the maverick?)

The Republican party is not going to win anything until the RINOs are purged from leadership positions in the party.

The old open borders, perpetual war, globalist, country-club, corporate shills have no future. They simply cannot win national elections. Trump’s multi ethnic, working and middle class populist and nationalist coalition very much can win national elections. That’s the future of the Republican Party.

This speaker fight is a preview of what’s coming down the road, sooner than later. The great chasm between the leftist GOP establishment and the conservatives in the base has been brewing since 1989. Rush at times would talk about and knew at some point it would explode.

Fear the democrats would win and SCOTUS nominees kept the conservatives in line for decades but Stephens and Kavanaugh and repeated betrayals by the likes of McConnell and McCarthy have ended that boogie man argument the trash of the party has been shoveling.

The GOP, as in 2022 offered no reasons to vote for them other than we are not Democrats. When you offer no differences, no real choice then people are not going to make the effort to donate, work and vote for you and right now the GOP is a feckless left of center Little Me-Me party of the Democrats-willing Uniparty participants. Conservatives are finally saying change or win without us—and they have no chance whatsoever if conservatives leave the party, they need us more than we need them. If they drift even further left they will never convince liberals they are on their side. Think NBC hiring Megan Kelly and thinking she would draw an audience, it was a disaster.

I know Goldwater conservatives who are pretty much done with the GOP congress, they believe it is a waste of time to fool with the GOP, there’s no difference. I’m a Reagan conservative and I haven’t voted for my GOP congressman since 2010, I leave it blank. He’s a Robert Byrd wannabe. The GOPE thinks as long as they are at the government trough they are okay. Eventually their good friends from across the aisle are going to look at one another and go why are we putting up with these pathetic useless idiots, we no longer need them and the country club trash will be booted out of the trough.

The speaker vote is just the conservatives in congress saying enough is the doing the same insanity and it makes for lively politics. When the conservative voter says enough and stays home it makes for a political disaster for the GOP at the national, state and local levels and that started in 22 and will get worse in 24, especially if we get another McRomney candidate for president.

You’re missing the point on the so-called re-hashing of the 2020 election Miller. Purposely I would guess since it’s obvious you don’t want Trump. The choose-wisely in the primaries is the tipoff. It’s a moot point if election fraud is not stopped so the article is meaningless.

This feels like an Israeli election, where you build a coalition of disparate groups that make a patchwork foundation of conflicting objectives as your platform.

Can anyone explain what the Republicans stand for? Besides enriching themselves.
