Rep Kinzinger Urges GOP To Say ‘This Is Not A Trump First Party’
The Daily Caller ^ | 02.01.2020 | Mary Rose Corkery

Republican Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger urged Republicans Sunday to say it “is not a Trump first party.”

Chuck Todd of “Meet The Press” asked Kinzinger about a picture of former President Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy meeting at Mar-a-Lago.

“The former president is desperate to continue to look like he’s leading the party, and the problem is until we push back and say, you know, this is not a Trump-first party, this is a country-first party,” Kinzinger told Todd.

“Until we all kind of stand up and say that, we’re going to be kind of chasing our tail here in this situation,” Kinzinger told Todd.

McCarthy and Trump met on Thursday at Mar-a-Lago to discuss strategies for winning the House majority. The two spoke about the midterm 2022 elections.

Trump and McCarthy’s meeting was their first to occur in-person following the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, according to Politico Playbook.

That is where he is wrong! At the current time, Trump is still the most powerful entity of the Republican Party. Although he has no “authority”, he certainly has the ear of Republicans across America. The election was a sham, but the majority of us still trust the direction Trump was leading us. It would do us well to listen to what he has to say... even if he is not CURRENTLY the president.

This despicable opportunist is looking to harvest and cash in on some the huge amounts of anti-Trump money being made available.

Since when was the GOP a “nation first” party?

Kinzinger I hadn’t heard of you.

Just did some research, and am (quite) disappointed.

At one time you actually had Sarah Palin’s support. I was one of Sarah Palin’s very earliest supporters here. I was also one of Donald Trump’s earliest supporters here.

I also notice you had Cantor’s support, as well as Pence. Very bad, those.

It almost seems, you see Donald Trump as a challenger, to be eliminated.

Very, very disappointing.

Like Meier, from Michigan.

Another seemingly honorable veteran.

He also seems to have been infected by the same anti-Trump stupidity, as you.

"...is not a Trump first party.”

So you're saying Trump should not be our primary goal?

Then what should be our Primary goal?

How about Primary-ing you?

I see your GOP Primary opponents in past elections have gotten as high as 32% .... 22% .... 46%.

Maybe we can all send $$ to whoever is challenging you in your next GOP Primary to help them break 51%! How about we make THAT our Primary Goal instead, little Kinzie?

If the GOP claims any such thing it is wrong. Trump was the best thing to ever happen to it. Sick, twisted professional pols make me sick.

Saying the GOP is “is not a Trump first party” is correct, but not for Mr. Kitzinger’s reasons. Mr. Trump stepped into a gap created by the establishments of both parties.

His popularity with the GOP electorate stems from his willingness to take on the establishment. Mr. Trump’s political rise is a symptom of our dissatisfaction with the D.C insider business as usual, not the cause of that dissatisfaction. He reflects our concerns and attempted to address them. Mr. Kitzinger thinks that Mr. Trump somehow created these concerns by fooling and manipulating voters to support him, which could not be further from the truth.

A majority will say, "Yes it is."

Another back stabbed idiot. The GOP-e party is deader than a door nail without President Trump and like- minded people who are dedicated to serving our country and upholding our core moral values. I wouldn’t vote campaign or contribute ever again for another self- serving GOP-e liar, corruptoids, traitor, or enabler of the DemoCommieNazi coup and puppet dictatorship. If the leftist basturds are going to rule over us, they can do it just fine without our trying to elect worthless leftist synchopaths in GOP-e business suits. To hell with them all!

New party is needed because the GOP brand is ruined and GOPers can’t be trusted.
