GOP is a total waste at the federal level
If Trump loses or wins he should start a MAGA party...get everyone who voted for him to signup....we only support MAGA people...
and tell the GOP you want are vote we want results or we put up are own candidates...
working people will support it...Hispanic will support it... Black will support it.. ExDemocrats will support it....they will never support the GOP...they will just stay home......
other wise the GOP is dead
Trump needs to start a streaming network...news..movies and comedy,
entertainment not the PC crap that is on now
MAGA tv
I don’t doubt you - I just worry that, now that they’ve pulled out all the stops, what the Dems may actually do.
If both Perdue AND Loeffler lose, McConnell shares power with Schumer. Its 50_50 unless someone defects. Rhinos and GOPE types will ensure the liberal agenda, regardless, especially without Trumps veto,
I’m sick if the GOPE, its time to clean house.
many don’t understand that the primary is where you show your disgust at a candidate not the general.
Agree
“”If she loses it’s only for 2 years-think about it.””
Explain the 2 years please. I went through all the replies to the current time and didn’t see anyone question where you get 2 years from.. We’re not talking about House terms, we’re talking about the Senate...She’ll have won her seat not appointed to fill someone’s seat where she started from.
Right, unchecked Biden, Pelosi, Schumer is what you want just because Trump? Trump has campaigned for Loeffler and Purdue both.
I’ve never liked Loeffler but she got my vote because Warnock is an extremist trying to use his pulpit to attain power. I loathed the punk Ossoff when he was trying to win that House seat in 2016. Of course, Karen Handle couldn’t hold on to the seat and then went down in flames trying to retake it in 2020.
I am convinced Dems have flipped Georgia. I escaped California trying to get away from all that.
She was smart not to provide a soundbite. That is almost the most critical thing to do in the age of Twitter and ads that can be turned around in an hour.
Random acts of journalism from Brett only apply to Republicans (RINOs or not). Brett is still a POS.
Well it’s far easier & far more likely to succeed if we simply take over the GOP. We’re almost there. Trump & his ideas (Tea Party ideas !) have the support of 90+% of the rank and file GOP supporters.
Let’s consider the raw numbers before we consider the challenge of getting on the ballot in 50 states. We command the loyalty of about 45% (Aside: 45% is an estimate. Romney claims 47%. Probably the most accurate thing he has ever said.) of the voting demographic. The Rats a similar percentage. (Aside: Note the Rats show far far greater party loyalty discipline at the voter & politician level then the GOP.) Every election is a battle over the remaining 10%. Now reduce the 45% by forming a 3rd party, reduce it again with a 4th party, etc. The numbers simply do not work. You’re not going to win EVER ! Certainly not in any time period to stop the institutionalizing of a permanent Rat governing party. Its a path to extinction.
Then there’s the ballot access problem, infrastructure, etc.
Easier to continue to take over the GOP. It takes time and effort & there will be set backs. Go to local & state party meetings, ease the current state and local RINOs out. Never forget politicians who succeed (multiple terms) evolve into RINOs even if they don’t intend to. It’s the nature of the professional politician class. All this has to be done anyway to prevent more states from adopting “Steal-this-Election” voting machines.
Forming third parties, etc. is emotionally satisfying when you say it. However the practicalities of doing it and thus starting from scratch dooms it. This isn’t the 1850s. It’s also foolish, particularly when you’re on the cusp of seizing the party. Not everything happens instantly.
You’re not wrong. Trump and Georgia republicans wanted Collins. Kemp being the doofus he is wouldn’t listen
Kemp and Brad have guaranteed a dem win probably for both seats
Damned airhead idiot.
I like the idea of taking over the GOP but we’re nowhere near the cusp and are trending in the wrong direction. RINO’s dominate like getting folks like Losffler and Tuberville while beating good guys like Collins and Kobach (and what they did to McDaniel in Miss in 2014)They’ve turned Toomey,Cruz,Lee,Scott,Johnson and Paul for most immigration votes so it’s hard to even keep the conservative ones we elect. I still agree that it’s the best approach.
How are you getting 2 years? Senate terms are for 6 years? 😊
Only if there’s another election.
I definitely don’t think Georgia should be the test case. I know the republicans are stupid but to lose Georgia would be ignorant to the millionth degree.
If we had 58 seats then yes. Heck if we currently had 53 seats then yes. But 52 seats is not a time to lose two seats.
If we lose these two seats, I’m going to laugh every time you complain about something Schumer does. I hope he hurts the country so bad. I hope he raises taxes to 90 percent, Medicare for all and green new deal passes. Yep just as stupid as you wishing we lose those two seats.
Loffler is a fill in seat so she has to run again in 2 years.
