A loose association of current and former Republicans working to sink President Donald Trump’s re-election now see another political feat that’s necessary for them to have a shot at reclaiming their party: flipping the U.S. Senate to the Democrats.
The emerging belief, based on more than a dozen interviews, is that defeating Trump alone is insufficient to spur the reckoning required to salvage a party that will almost undoubtedly confront a crossroads if the president loses to Joe Biden this fall. Many argue that GOP senators must pay a steep price for their unabating fealty to Trump, even if it hands Democrats complete control of the federal government.
“The analogy would be in the same way that fire purifies the forest, it needs to be burned to the ground and fundamentally repudiated,” said Steve Schmidt, a Republican-turned-independent political strategist who now works for The Lincoln Project, one of the most pugnacious of the anti-Trump GOP groups. “Every one of them should be voted out of office, with the exception of Mitt Romney.”

But the Lincoln Project has nonetheless placed six-figure ad buys against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, as well as Sens. Joni Ernst in Iowa, Thom Tillis in North Carolina and Martha McSally in Arizona, as Republicans try to hold onto their narrow three-seat majority.
“They are the only ... human beings who had the authority and the ability to keep this president in check constitutionally and politically, and every one of them made a conscious decision to not do so,” said Jennifer Horn, a former New Hampshire GOP chairwoman who now advises the Lincoln Project.

[Agreed...they never were conservatives. It’s what happens when you pretend that all ideologies are they same hence ‘The Big Tent’ Foolishness.]
You are unfortunately correct. Ric Grenell was in the thick of it and sent out the warning.
Our government hasn’t been “of the people, by the people, for the people” for quite some time.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has voted for amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority THREE times.
No one would miss them if they were to simply “disappear.”
It’s an assortment of NeverTrump cucks, Bushies, and mercenary “consultants”.
At the center of the cabal, are the “founders” (read, grifters) George T. Conway III, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver and Rick Wilson. There should be no surprises there for anyone.
There are some lowlifes from California that I’ve run into over the years like Rosario Marin, (who served as Treasurer for W) and Cassandra Py, a Schwartznegger creature and his chief of staff, and perpetual grifter Luis Alvarado (a “political consultant”), who is simply taking a paycheck.
Jim Cunneen is lined up at the trough as well, you can read more about him here: https://calstrat.com/people/jim-cunneen/
Now, Mark Kersey is also getting paid off somehow, probably through his consulting firm. He’s a currently sitting San Diego councilman for district 5. Don’t really know much about him, he was never a part of any “movement” groups that I know of so I’m guessing he’s mostly a corporate shill.
We should be taking names.
Traitors are always worse than the enemy.
Ghislaine Maxwell says Jeffrey Epstein’s last words were “I can’t breathe!”
Needs to be stated again and again and again.
And...?
Since the Founding States gave both Houses of Congress the specific constitutional power to expel bad-apple lawmakers, the constitutionally undefined political parties should likewise kick out bad-apple party members.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.
If they succeed there will not only.be dead shell left of the GOP (GOOD), there be be a dead shell left of America (BAD)!!! Kristol, Will, Mittens, Bolton are ALL traitors of this country HOW DARE them ever call themselves Republican EVER!!!
Follow the money.
It’s from the McClatchy lunatics. We get a new one of these every day.
They want to go back even farther than that to the pre-Reagan GOP of the 70s when the Congressional Republicans were the Washington Generals to the Democrats' Harlem Globetrotters. Those Republicans were the loyal and deferential opposition to their Democrat betters in exchange for safe seats, and all the pork and hookers they wanted. Ronaldus Magnus wrecked all that and the GOPe have never forgiven him or conservatives for literally and figuratively ruining their party. That's why they hate us more than the Democrats. A lot more.
Follow the money straight to China
And India. Biden will undo Trump’s H1B ban on day 1. The Indian government, IT tech industry and Indians here are in the US are pouring money into the Biden campaign..
Purchased by Soros money.
The Neocons are returning to their liberal roots.
Lots of land up in Northern Wisconsin.
That’s where I grew up.
Too cold, I like mountains, probably E.TN or W. NC or WV.
No one was worried when the Dems lost a 1000 seats nationwide when Obama was president or how the entire DNC was practically broke (it might still be broke if it wasn’t stealing money from BLM). Compared to that the GOP is doing pretty under Trump and only lost the House (which was mainly because never trumpers and Paul Ryan)
I doubt Biden really has much of a chance of winning anyway
