He better be right.

I know Sen. Graham has limited credibility on this forum.

Still, I will never forget how he rediscovered his principles during the Kavanaugh hearings.

Win the House majority first. Then you can talk about what helped you get it.

Our side just needs to shut up and let it play out

When your opponent is fighting itself, sit back and watch, don’t interfere, that is dumb.

When you interfere you remind them who the real enemy is....

Jeez

You mean A Koch Bros Liberation open borders Cheap Labor Express majority. The GOP has learned nothing since Trump’s election.

How exciting for the GOP to take back the house! Then we can have THEM get back to impeding Trump instead of democrats.

The Russia narrative, the failure to repeal obamacare, the refusal to build a wall... the list is long. All GOP.

Great, Mr. Graham. And what will the GOP majority do this time?

Republican majorities in Congress during the Hastert, Boehner, and Ryan speakerships were a great disappointment. No core principles or agenda for conservative constituents, special favors for big donors and large corporations, dissing of the Tea Party movement, zero fiscal discipline (all appropriations bills originate in the House) and constant capitulation to Democrats.

My GOP Congressperson talks conservative during the 6 months before every election and touts the meaningless “window dressing” votes for conservative causes the leadership occasionally puts forward to make the base think they are conservatives. Yet like most GOP congress critters my representative constantly votes the globalist, free trade, open borders agenda of the Koch brothers and other big donors.

When given a GOP president in 2016, who would have signed almost any conservative bill put forward, the GOP Congress under Paul Ryan was in open opposition to the Trump agenda. By the end of the Ryan speakership it was clear most GOP Congresscritters and Senators hold the conservative base that elects them in contempt. Their values are those of the urban elites, not the middle class.

After nearly 50 years of voting for a GOP Congress, I’m under no illusion GOP control of the House will change anything. Unlike the Democrat party, which is openly socialist, the GOP has no philosophical foundation. They pretend to favor limited government to win conservative votes but the members of the party have no core convictions, passion, or willingness to fight for anything.

I suspect a GOP majority Congress led by Kevin McCarthy will be no different from the Hastert Congress, the Boehner Congress, or the Ryan Congress. The party is corrupt and Congress is corrupt. Expect more of the same.

Flimsey Grahamnesty needs to be replaced with a patriot that sides with the citizens and the rule of law.
He is still working to get the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens as he has since 2006.

Fake news.
It’s a fight between competing far left factions, and Pelosi doesn’t have any goals which are different from those of Occasional Cortex. The two just use different lines of rhetoric.

Okay, if he’s right——then what? The moronic Republicans will simply sell out the country——just a bit slower and differently than the Democrats.

Wishful/hopeful. I don’t see the GOP doing much of anything. They have pretty much disappeared since President Trump was elected.
