It is a sure sign that the corruption in American government has reached critical mass. How sad, that freedom has died in America not by an invasion, but by treason.

What is fiscal responsibility, or any of the other nonsense in this article, without accountability for crimes?

It may be too late to save the patient. The GOP needs to understand the meaning of the term “Quisling” and to stop tolerating them within its ranks. cf Willard Romney.

Decapitated from Trump, it will revert to the old globalist GOPe....and the grass roots will abandon it in droves. Congrats Never Trumpers. You win. Who is John Gault?

Regardless of the election’s outcome, the GOP must come to grips with these deep deficiencies, if it expects to remain a viable national party in a post-Trump world, whether that comes in a few months or a few years. The philosophical underpinning that once clearly defined the Republican Party – individual and economic freedom – still is an easy sell to the American public if they undertake the effort. Over the next four years, Republicans must do the following:

I'm out, after Trump.

I will persuade my fellow conservatives to sit out elections in the future.

Let the Democrats win, so we can start the reaction.

Hey Barr, don't you have a job or something that might not necessarily be congruent with you bloviating on political issues?

Like maybe being the nation's chief LE officer? You know, like investigating crimes and locking up criminals, regardless of their party or ideology?

OTOH it's good of you to come out and confess where your brain really is.

[ProgressingAmerica]

We desperately need to restart Tea Partying.

This idea of winning an election and then losing the next 729 days is clearly a failed model.

Even if you win the election, but then if you lose the culture you have still lost. All this silence is killing us.

Stupid. Old school BS.

Nothing is over til it’s over. This may help:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

If we voted for Trump, we did our part. We all now this was an election between Trump and MAGA and “Not Trump and a return to 2008”. Change is always harder, more painful, and takes longer than we’d prefer.

Reaffirm Gun Rights: Republicans have all but forgotten the true essence of the Second Amendment as a natural right. As a result, they have left it vulnerable to being chipped away, even from within their own party. They must learn again how to properly defend the Second Amendment and do so with more gusto than their limp-wristed approach of late.

We heard very little about protecting the Second Amendment in the last 6 weeks and absolutely nothing about it during the debates. We should have made Beto the face of gun confiscation and PDJT should have inserted it during the debates. If this had been done maybe AZ and MI wouldn't be in play right now.

The GOP should have won in a blowout, and that they are almost certain not to is a clear sign the Grand Old Party is in desperate need of a Grand Old Rebuild.

Someone ought to tell Bob Barr that the Republican Party is dead. I'll give you two simple points to consider:

1. The ObamaCare debacle pretty much sealed the deal for a lot of us. After promising for years to repeal that abomination, and repeatedly passing bills to repeal it when they knew these bills would be vetoed by Obama, the GOP found itself in a position to get the job done in 2017. It never happened -- which was clear and compelling evidence that their years-long opposition was a fraud.

2. If that's not enough to convince you, just look at the list of prominent Republicans who endorsed Joe Biden this year. These include the former head of the Republican National Committee, for heaven's sake. Nobody with an IQ over 40 should ever trust this bunch of duplicitous misfits again.

I suspect a whole lot of folks are going to be just like me, and detach ourselves from U.S. politics completely.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Michigan could* fall to Biden because of fraud in Detroit. What good messaging could overcome that, Congressman?

*Not saying it will; Trump’s lawyers may be able to get some of the hinky ballots thrown out.

[dfwgator]

GOP needs to die.

[NELSON111]

I voted for Trump in 2016 and my entire family voted for Trump (here in Texas) in 2020. YET - I bring up his spending and that he did not stick with his promises of fiscal responsibility - and I got called a never-Trumper. He was submitting a pre-Covid budget for FY21 that was just as big as Obama and the very same people on this board that crucified Obama for such - made excuses.

People need to figure out who they are...if they even have a compass.

[Impy]

Go after the corporations and Wall Street bastards who all backed Biden.
