I think the Republican Party should forget Senate and House majorities for a while and just focus on finding MAGA candidates and purging the RINOs.
Focusing on majorities is what gets the GOP into trouble.
The GOP needs to reject the argument that voters should hold their noses and vote for any R who can win - just so that they can gain or hold onto a majority.
Having a majority has its advantages in committee chairmanships, etc., but as we’ve seen, RINOs will vote with the Democrats when push comes to shove. Then scorned GOP constituencies boycott the party and they lose the majority anyway.
If the Republican Party forgets majorities, and focuses on true conservatism or MAGA patriotism, they may not have the majorities at first, but that will come later, as MAGA voters begin to trust the party again.
I am convinced the majority of Americans are MAGA patriots at heart - even the blacks and legal Hispanic voters are trending in our direction.
And regarding stolen elections, the Democrats couldn’t have gotten away with it without the RINOs.
Purging the RINOs has to be job one - even if it means no Senate or House majority for a while.
And ironically, I think the Republicans will actually win majorities on day one - just by not focusing on majorities.
To prove my point - just look at the two Senate run off races in GA. If they had focused on MAGA (fought for Trump) they would have won. Instead, they acted like RINOs and lost.
All the RINOs went down there and told voters to forget MAGA, forget Trump, forget Nov 3 - vote for the RINO to keep RINO McConnell as majority leader.
That reasoning doesn’t work.
Coming from a man who left with a 11 pct approval hmmm
This is the way that losers like Nelson Rockefeller, Gerald Ford and John B. Anderson spoke.
Getting a party majority is about building majority coalitions. Those types of Republicans cannot cobble together a working one, and at best their version only lets the base in along for the ride without much say is anything.
It is appropriate that Mr. flake comes from a town called Snowflake.
Yeh break from 80 million voters. That’s a winning strategy. 😆
Some of these RINOs add nothing to the discussion and are just rabble-rousers.
What if we just cancelled them like the left is cancelling conservatives?
Ban their names from FR, and everywhere else we go for news.
It is a start.
No, I disagree. We’ll be a permanent minor party until control of the voting procedures and vote counting is taken from activist Democrats.
The GOP is just really dumb or think we are. Trump had up to 98% approval rating among repub voters and the GOP just let the election get stolen from him and our 70-80 million votes canceled.
Why vote when tptb are going to decide for you? That’s what millions of conservatives think now.
Gonna vote this year John?
Naa, I think I’ll scrub the toilet or something instead.
The things Jeff Flake says when he senses fear and loss.
If only Donald Trump would have had Jeff Flake’s level of popularity, he might have pulled it off. (/sarcasm)
He has it exactly backwards - as usual. There’s a reason he’s out of office, his political career is over and he has zero influence.
