they tried and were overruled by Democrat governors

They didn't try. The republicans could have assembled a quorum in the conference room of a local hotel and voted and submitted their slate of electors.

Hard to sift through Solomon’s ‘analysis’ and see it omit a section devoted to the massive fraud we all witnessed.

Solomon seems to join a mindset “let’s give credit to Democrats, do some stuff, and move on” or did I miss something?

Ok, expand Rumble, Parler, blah blah blah.
Ok, make money flow like Soros, NGOs, blah, blah, blah.

“Universal mail ballots can be ended” WTH?

Losing respect for J Solomon.

The communists also control the courts - all three branches of government now.

Actually, the constitution gives the legislative branch the sole authority to write election laws. The State Executive does not have the right to approve or disapprove. They can sue as happened here in NC, but they lost and now we will have voter ID laws in place for 2022. However the NC legislators allowed the liberal election commission to make changes that both parties agreed to because of COVID. That nearly cost Trump the State and could have cost Tillis his seat. That can never happen again.

You are correct on the ballot harvesting though. They got away with it because of massive mail out ballots. But if the GOP plans to win anymore elections they need to start sending volunteers to peoples home offering to help them vote. Not vote for them, just help with getting the ballots.

the failure of the GOP at the State and Federal level to stand 100% behind Trump as he fought the results from the Nov 3 election.

No - wrong - the best way to fight a fire is to prevent it. The time to fight was before the election not after. And the GOP did very little in 2017 - 2020 to prevent this.

I found it a relief myself. When the Rats come to punish us as they said they would, first thing they will look at are voter rolls in each state with an ‘R’ in affiliation.

“...the traditional game of finger-pointing and recrimination will begin inside the GOP.“ No way. These guys are CELEBRATING. THEY just got elected and re-elected! T"HEY have big income for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. THEY have AAA healthcare for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES THEY got rid of Donald Trump; and now can get back to corruption as usual in DC. They can get back to tuning that $200,000. a year into MILLIONS - really quickly! Who CARES if they're in the minority... THAT way, they can't be expected to DO anything for their constituents! Why... how CAN they?? They have NO power! - and they say that is OUR fault..."

Good analysis. And many have died because of the betrayal and millions will die because of the fall of the USA and much of Western Civilization. There will be no rebuilding for generations and a Marxist dictatorship will now replace the US and a new dark age is coming to all who looked to the US. How many will they kill, lockup and turn into serfs is the remaining question. How many will be canceled for being insufficiently enthusiastic for their new masters? And on and on.

When and where has an election ever been overturned because of fraud? The time to stop the steal is when you see the crooks climbing through the window. Once they are gone, you rarely ever see your stolen stuff again. All summer long we were hearing about early voting, mail voting, social distanced drop boxes. That’s when we should have been protesting in our state capitals. Next step is a voting app on our phones, probably from Dominion. We don’t want that, better be ready to march when it’s proposed, not after the next election.

So what do those same experts advise Republicans do to change their fortunes?

Exactly what the Democrats did. Don't point fingers, change the rules, and own the narrative, they said.

The Republicans would be smacked down by liberal judges so fast it would make their heads spin.

According to this article, the Democrats won because they completely ignored the rules and their allies in the legal system supported their lawlessness.

And that's something to be congratulated?

Stop the world, I wanna get off.

I do agree the GOP does not realize how much they are despised by the people who voted for them the last two elections. There are two ways to send that message to them.

1. Go Independent or Unaffiliated it shows up in voter rolls for the States. The GOP will see and feel the dramatic drop in voters if enough people do that.

2. If you donated to Trump, they have your contact info. Change your email, if you gave them credit or debit card number, get a new card and contact WinRed and demand to be removed from their contact lists.

The GOP thinks they have two years to win us back. By then Biden will have done his damage so screw the GOP. Only MAGA candidates going forward. We want conservative fighters not wimpy CINOs.

No the subject has certainly gone stone cold. But I’m telling you Abbott better not say a damn thing about President Trump... Ignorance is bliss in this situation.

“””Next step is a voting app on our phones”””


You are so correct. We have millions of people who can’t put their underwear on without consulting their smartphone.

And the next step after the ‘voting app on smartphones’ will be a message to those smartphone users saying: “Based upon your visits and comments on various websites, Big Brother has voted for you.”

If history is repeating itself, I would look at two points in history:

1. The period after the Civil War in the South. Look at the political environment and you will find similarities. It was not the civil war that lead to “Jim Crow” laws it was the political environment post civil war.

2. Wiemar Republic. I plan to study that period a lot more. Get ready for the massive inflation and worthless dollar. Just as a precaution I'd learn to grow my own food. It s a good idea anyway as prices have already gone up and home grown is better tasting.

“I hope Trump starts a new party”

I hope he doesnt. Instead, i hope someone starts a new party for him.

I say that because there are so many laws and regulations regarding the creation and sustaining of a political party, especially regarding funds and fundraising, that just one small, tiny misstep on Trumps part, they wont hesitate to throw him into prison.

The worthless dollar is already here. Take a look at what is happening with Bitcoin. Bitcoin went over 42,000 this morning.

I agree with you in spirit but not in fact.

There were groups that challenged state violations before the election but they were told there was no injury and when there was injury after the election, courts ruled ‘laches’.

The fraud that stole the election was concentrated in a few cities, Democrat strongholds.

The fraud was challenged in courts and was dismissed on procedural grounds time and time again.

Damn if only I had a green thumb...Everything I ever plant dies besides I live in the desert so it’s harder. The only thing that grows here is cotton and you surely can’t eat cotton.
