They should always play to win. Democrats are ruthless attack dogs. Republicans have been cowering weenies. Democrats always stick together. Republicans are all over the place, not wanting to upset Democrats. Time to get a spine.

McCain started this bullcrap in the Republican party with his "reach across the aisle" nonsense. Trump is right about "Republicans have to get tougher and fight".

Dems have the strategy of African wild dogs, attacking from everywhere simultaneously. GOP would do well to figure that out after all this time.

Casting Pelosi as a chess master is hilarious. She is not. She is a committed leftist and stays true to that commitment. It has nothing to do with a grand strategy. It has only to do with programming. It’s all she is capable of.

Whereas the GOP is all about fear and loathing brought on by being, in effect, POW’s inside a liberal Beltway cage. Helsinki syndrome all the way

If only a leader would emerge that would not give a care about what the media printed or liberals thought. If only one would emerge that would stay the course and not be a supplicant to the Deep State or the DC Lobbyists. Yeah, like we would ever find such a person. Imagine how they would hate that person and, dare I say, even try a coup to remove them.

I digress, back to Pelosi being a genius. Uhhh, no. She is a committed leftist who could drop her drawers, take a poop on the Capitol steps and the media would report it as an act of Jesus.

Dems and the Pubbies is both are hopelessly corrupt. Dems are proud of it.

Everything I ever needed to know about the Democrat Party I learned from watching reruns of The Sopranos.

It’s possible that Pelosi is holding them because she is trapped. The end is nor good for Democrats no matter what they do.

The author is wrong. She is a Master Checker player, not a Chess player

In the picture you posted, is that the face of someone that’s all there up there?

The top five things the Republicans need to do.

1) There are many congressional seats that are “unchallenged” in the election. Even if there is little chance for a Republican pick up, EVERY SINGLE ONE of these seats must have a Republican challenger, if for nothing else than training. And yes, there will be (R) pick ups if this is done.

2) It doesn’t matter if an R candidate isn’t ideal, THEY MUST BE SUPPORTED by the NRCC, which has more than enough to fully back them. It doesn’t matter if they are truly right wing, supporting things like monuments to the 10 commandments. And ANY NRCC person that cringes and complains about them needs to put a sock in it.

3) Thoroughly vet R candidates, to eliminate infiltrators ASAP.

4) Assuming President Trump is reelected, the search and training for his potential replacements begins right after. Training for the job must be strict and assertive, taught by the best conservatives out there. If they refuse to participate in the training, they get no support from the national organization.

Likewise, the new president’s cabinet and all top bureaucrats will be vetted and selected ahead of time, and this list must include those individuals currently in government that must be purged.

‘Play to win’?

Wow-why should they break the habit of a lifetime?

One of the GOP’s greatest failings it’s great communicators are few and far between.

It is not that no one is a Reagan, it is that most can’t make superb arguments advancing the good things they do believe. I honestly don’t know how many of them win their election campaigns, other than to think our sheeple are as dumb as the Dim’s sheeple and too many people have just voted for labels, which provides no assurance for the future.
