Republicans Pushing Themselves Off the Cliff

During the 2012 presidential election, the far-left Agenda Project Action Fund produced a video showing vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan pushing granny off the cliff because he had the supposed audacity to propose a sensible budget, rather than the money-tree approach of Democrats.

Instead of becoming vice president, Ryan landed only one step behind the VP in the presidential succession as Speaker of the House. While he didn’t push granny off the cliff, he did push himself and his party off a cliff by undermining the president of his own party as often as he could.

Ryan ended up on the board of Fox News, reportedly wanting to use his position to “do something” about President Trump. It seems other fellow congressional Republicans, including Ryan’s 2012 running mate Mitt Romney, had similar aspirations.

Trump is still president, although his path to a second term is becoming narrower by the day. Establishment Republicans, particularly those of the NeverTrump variety, are eager to “move on” from the 2020 presidential contest, happily accepting the results of a crooked and stolen election, with vague promises of electoral reform and a more favorable outcome in 2024.

Only two-thirds of House Republicans joined in the Texas lawsuit, meaning the other third was happy to send Trump packing, pushing him, and their party off the cliff. If the political parties were reversed, does anyone doubt that 100 percent of Democrat House members would have backed the lawsuit?

The RINO’s don’t need to be primaried.

The dems will merely submit a list of state elections they wish to win to the “Central Ballot Clearing House” at the DNC. The DNC will in turn assign the requisite number of votes required for the dem candidate to win.

All very neat and tidy...And best of all, conducted with the blessing of SCOTUSSA.

Should DJT lose, in 10 years the Never-Trumpeters will boast that they, and they alone, freed the country of the “nightmare that was DJT”.


They will say that when the PLA asks if they have any last words ...

Follow the Sanctuaries for illegal aliens model. Anything liberals mandate, reject it as a city or state. No need to secede, but make it illegal to cooperate with liberals in power. For example, Second Amendment Sanctuaries already exist.

On the other hand, Bernstein or one of the other reporters featured in “All the President’s Men” is using that very mood to threaten conservatives.

He SAYS he has a list of conservatives who bashed Trump in private and will reveal it. He knows that if he names names, true or not, conservative lynch mobs will tear the person down. Hello, political blackmail.
