“They’re not going to be blackmailed.”
BIG DATA POLL Director @Peoples_Pundit explains how the Republican Party needs to take the huge “Trump or Bust” vote seriously, or they’re finished as a national party.
Republican Party people don’t care whether Republican candidates win or lose. They care only about money to their pockets and to their friends. They are a subsection of the Party. They will find out that they are expendable when the Party formalizes its complete takeover of all the levers of power in the country. The closest allies of the Communists are always the first group to go to the wall or the camps when th Communists consolidate power. They are the ones the Party considers most dangerous.
I have wanted better candidates for the primary. I am just not impressed, and some really repel me (Asa, Pence, and Christie, as examples).
Nikki is just not presidential material and is an anchor baby, I think. I’d trust her to take care of my kids, as a babysitter, though.
The guy from North Dakota seems trustworthy, but seems limited to talking about farming issues.
Vivek has energy and decent positions, but he is a Soros donee in school—and he didn’t need the money. Then, he paid to erase that from Wikipedia. Can’t trust him, at all.
Ron DeSantis could have looked so much better and more competent, if only he’d positioned as Trump’s VP, this time. The fact he ran in to take money to run against Trump just looks bad. I’ll agree Trump said very unfair things about Ron, but Ron did plenty on his own.
You think the Republican Party is going to do anything at all to bring back the Republic? That is fatuity on steroids.
The GOP is part and parcel of the cabal destroying the Republic. Will empire follow? as in Rome? Whose empire will it be if so?
So to you Trump is evil? Explain.
Not true at all.
The Whigs were more a collection of factions than a party. The only thing that united them was distaste for everything Andrew Jackson stood for. They were the anti-populists of the era. Among the things they believed in were high protective tariffs, a central bank and a strong, vigorous federal government. What held them together was the presence of Henry Clay, the Great Compromiser, who had kept the Union from dissolving in 1820 and 1850 with two compromises that permitted the North and South to live in the same country.
Clay's death from tuberculosis in 1852 at age 75 marked the real end of the Whig Party. It lingered on for most of the 1850s, desperately trying to have it both ways on slavery, which had become the great divisive moral issue of the day. The fractured Whigs were replaced by the Republicans, a true anti-slavery party.
Haha!! You want some cheese with that whine?
We owe a huge debt to Trump. He exposed the truth. You'd feel the same but you are blue pill eating truth denier.
We ain’t voting our way out of this.
Since the “Republican Party” has done nothing but deny that Biden’s greatest voter fraud organization in history doesn’t exist, I think they are done already. But if they somehow take Trump off the ballot, they might as well not run any candidate in 20024.
“I’ve voted Republican all my adult life, since Ronald Reagan. But if the course of the GOP is what we are seeing now, I’m not too concerned if they survive or not. And the counter-argument is that if we don’t vote GOP. we’ll be turning over the government to the Democrats. Well, as far as I can tell, the GOP isn’t doing much to stop them, so what difference will it make if I sit it out from now on?”
Well said and I agree. Believe it or not I started hollering that we should take over the independent party in mass right after the GOP produced absolutely nothing when we had both the Senate and the House and Trump.
Right then we should have jumped ship in mass because their inaction had proved them to be traitors beyond a reasonable doubt. We could have taken over the independent party and made it conservative again as it was when it started.
Now it is too late...
Of course it’s real.
It’s real on the other side too.
Well, there ya go!
“We ain’t voting our way out of this.”
Nope, it is now all smoke and mirrors...
Time for the potential opponents to circle the wagons around Trump and stop this nonsense.
At the very least, Trump can be the “spanner in the works”.
Clearly the actions of the left are intended to frighten and suppress any thoughts of those on the right, from taking actions against the efforts of the left to turn this country into a 3rd world bananna republic.
They seem to forget that there are always going to be those that feel the fight against tyrany and oppression is something that is to be strived and fought for.. and what was part of the foundation of this country.
I substituted ‘Immigration’ for ‘Slavery.’ ;)
Like the Democratic party before the Civil War, the Whigs were a “bisectional” party that drew voters from both the North and South, explains Philip Wallach, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
“Both parties therefore had an interest in keeping IMMIGRATION off the national agenda as much as possible,” says Wallach. “But in the case of the Whig party, it just couldn’t find any way of dealing with the IMMIGRATION issue that would satisfy both its Northern and Southern wings.”

Totally sad, but so true.
