Thomas Massie Teases Plan with Marjorie Taylor Greene to Retake GOP

Thomas Massie may be leaving Congress, but don't expect him to disappear from Republican politics anytime soon ... because he and Marjorie Taylor Greene have been cooking up plans behind the scenes to retake the GOP.

Charlie caught up with the outgoing Kentucky Congressman Wednesday on Capitol Hill and asked about his recent Costa Rica vacay with Greene and her fiancé, Brian Glenn -- a trip TMZ first revealed after the group was spotted dining together.

Massie praised Greene as someone who has "her finger on the pulse" of MAGA voters ... calling her an important voice for people who believe D.C. has failed to deliver on key promises.

Check out the full video ... Massie teases his behind-the-scenes talks with Greene, hints at future plans, and explains why he thinks voters are searching for politicians who keep their promises.

He voted against the bbb which cut taxes, spending, funded border control and the military all seemingly conservative issues. Why would young conservatives care about this guy lol

[Zathras]

They are both gone forever.

Somewhere as always is the money, from where and who. Much like tuckerstan and owens

[trebb]

You mean they’re saying they’re Republicans - kid of like how Spanburger said she was a moderate. Their attentions are not a good thing for America.

[boycott]

Neither could win their own congressional district. So now they’re going to change the nation?

MTG needs to move on to another affair. She’s a hideous woman.

[Uncle Miltie]

You’re parodying yourself.

[Georgia Girl 2]

This time next year nobody will even be thinking about those two.

jimwatx: "The Republican party is likely to change once the boomers pass on."

So, do you credit Trump and MAGA to just boomers?!

Do you think once Trump & us boomers are gone, the anti-American Right can take over MAGA and run the country into a ditch?
If so, then you whippersnappers might even keep the logo "MAGA", just change "G" from "Great" to "Gawdawful", right?

Oh, yeah, that'll work great!

Good luck with it, sonny-boy.

jimwatx: "Massie won a majority of the votes of those under 56."

56 is roughly the median age of Kentucky 4th district Republican voters, meaning half are older than 56.
Those include all Silent Generation (over 80), Boomers (62-80) and 1/3 of Gen Xers (those 56+).
These voted by overwhelming majorities against Massie.

So, Gallrein carried 19 of the 21 counties in Kentucky's 4th district, mostly by margins of nearly 60%-40%.
Massie carried only two counties and only one of those, his home, Lewis County, by a 60%-40% margin.

Was that all just Boomers voting for Gallrein?
No, it was Boomers, Silent Gen and a large part of Gen X.
It seems, our younger voters, just like radical Democrats, don't care about governing the country, they just want to raise a little h*ll. 😉

jimwatx: "He’s obviously not popular here among the Fox news watching boomers."

Roughly 10% of Republican voters are Rand Paul, Thomas Massie-style libertarians.
The other 90% are more-or-less MAGA, meaning they support Pres. Trump all, or nearly all the time.
Those are not all Fox-watching Boomers, they include most younger voters as well.

How well they can hold together in 2028 and beyond is anybody's guess, but I don't expect "never-Trumpers" to ever make a comeback within the Republican party.

Kentucky has a F’d up Swamp R team.

Their Senators prove that..

[RandFan]

They can spread ideas and liberty

Like Ron Paul did

[boycott]

I would be afraid of what they could spread — especially MTG with her history.

[ripnbang]

“outside his district” and “raised millions” for that run...thing that make you go hmmmm.....

[ripnbang]

The support is called “benjamins”...why not grift for a few million while the grifting is good? Dems do it all the time.

[ripnbang]

I liked Ron Paul...I also like Rand...neither are presidential material...candidates to rake in millions for “selling” a message, yes...candidates for President, no.

[Olog-hai]

What is the “anti-american Right” and what exactly makes them right wing?

[Manuel OKelley]

Correct. At this point I’m gonna laugh my ass off if the next president and congress caps and implements means testing for Medicare

[Manuel OKelley]

the BBB blew the national debt up massively

[jimwatx]

Various sources. That’s the best way of figuring out what is really going on.

[fightin kentuckian]

How are both of them this delusional? They use to be pragmatic and sane. Seems as if they’ve crawled deep into a bubble.
