The Republican Party has a historic opportunity to revive the old Reagan coalition. The person standing in the way is the 45th president, writes the former attorney general.
During the Republican primaries in 2016, I supported, in succession, every alternative to Donald Trump. I did not see him as our party’s standard-bearer. He was not my idea of a president. I could see that he was grossly self-centered, lacked self-control, and almost always took his natural pugnacity too far. While he could be compelling, I found myself cringing at his frequently juvenile, bombastic, and petulant style.
I also saw Trump’s strengths. I liked the clear and direct way he staked out a position and his willingness to state unpleasant truths that many were afraid to say. I appreciated that he was willing to confront head-on difficult issues—like unfair trade deals, or our allies’ paltry defense spending—that other politicians dodged. Above all, Trump had accurately diagnosed, and given voice to, the deep frustration of many middle-class and working-class Americans who were fed up with the excesses of progressive Democrats; the shameless partisanship of the mainstream media; and the smug condescension of elites who had mismanaged the country, sold them out, and appeared content to preside over the decline of America.
But it is now clear he lacks the qualities essential to achieving the kind of unity and broad election victory in 2024 so necessary if we are to right our listing republic. It is time for new leadership.

“DRAIN THE SWAMP”
its just that simple .... No other Republican would dare to even attempt it...
So if the major influence in the Republican party Bill Barr, or is it Donald J. Trump. Comes down to simple math. I think it’s Trumps party, Barr needs to join the Uniparty and carry the Democratic card.
Yes, it is time for new leadership... And by that I mean REMOVE THE RINOS WHO HAVE BEEN IN WASHINGTON FOR DECADES.
Not the only NEW thing in decades, Trump. Who was more successful in 2 years then the entire GOP has been since Reagan.
If you just let the rino establishment win we’d give you Reagan back if it weren’t for that darn Trump.
No billy-boy you rinos are done.
Judas Barr comes out of hiding to bury the knife again.
Who now?
It’s only the deep state Washington bureaucrats and their media propagandists who talk negative about Trump’s ‘attitude’
Ignoring the FANTASTIC JOB he did.
Bill.
You and your DC fellow cronies have been steering the ship while the nation has headed to leftist hell. You, and your fellow DC cronies have lived the high life while those who fought for freedom and defended against communism around the world age and die - while watching what they fought for and what their friends in arms died for be given away to those who hate America.
Yes, Bill, it is time for new leadership, and neither you nor your fellow DC cronies should be part of it. We don’t need you in government in any capacity, and never did. Learn to code.
I think it’s cute that Bagpipes thinks that MAGA is going to vote for Paul Ryan’s and Bill Barr’s GOPee...
I just wish he would shut up and fade into obscurity.
I gave him his chance to do something to protect this country and defend the Constitution.
But he showed himself to be a lazy coward at best, and a scheming uniparty scumbag at worst.
And I am not inclined to be generous in my evaluation.
Why not explain where/why Barr is wrong?
Just to be clear if it wasn’t, I was talking about Barr, not Trump.
We have many around here now who say nearly the same thing about Trump.
Aiming for the top 40

Spit.
Who is Billy Boy talking about? Jo Jo the Pedophile Clown?
Bill Barr is a lying Bushite hack.
Getting himself in line in case Garland’s impeached.
If the GOP wasn’t a bunch of nihalist, belly button gazing, wimps and sell outs, a Trump wouldn’t be necessary
To quote from a Batman movie:
“He’s not the hero we want.
He’s the hero we need!”
Why not explain where/why Barr is wrong?

Cuz it’s self evident.
Everywhere , everything.
