In the latest revealing turn of events, upstart Jackson Lahmeyer, the MAGA-friendly challenger to Oklahoma GOP Senator James Lankford, was endorsed this week by the state’s party chairman, John Bennett. Lankford, a moderate who offered only the most tepid support for Trump, was stunned, telling Tulsa World it is “highly unusual for a state party chair in any state in America to come out and say, ‘I’m not going to at least be neutral.’” While this may seem a minor development, it speaks volumes about the unambiguous preferences of the party base. And major media, far from minimizing this defining GOP storyline, is willingly advancing the narrative, perhaps hoping for one more swing at the Trump pinata – and a shot of adrenaline for their incredible shrinking consumer base.
As left-leaning Bloomberg News termed it, “grassroots party members have shunned those who haven’t shown fealty to the defeated ex-president.” Equally liberal Newsweek echoed the same sentiment: “Even out of office, Trump retains control of the Republican Party, and the future is doomed in the GOP for anyone who vigorously opposes the 45th president.” Former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh put it another way: “If any of the 10 [targeted incumbents] are up against a primary challenger who’s a Trumper and who can breathe, walk and talk at the same time, they’re gonna lose.” As for likely results, Dave Wasserman of the famed Cook Political Report sets the bar: “Overall, I’d be surprised if more than three of the 10 are still in Congress in 2023.”

Well, he is a Texan.
I voted for TW Shannon in the Republican primary to replace Dr. Coburn.
I sure miss Tom Coburn.

I fully disagee with you.
I was focusing on the House of Representatives, not the Presidency. Currently the worst thing working in government is the House. This is about removing the democrat party from power, not party purity.
Sorry to see your emotional weakness. And yes, I’m involved and trying to keep the hardheads give the Democrats more seats in congress.
A horrible response when I have specific cases in mind. Be tactical. THINK!
I have been thinking and I have rationally decided RINOs are the biggest problem patriots face. I will take a pass on "stupid".
Promoting a tactic that adds democrats in the House makes one worse than a RINO. We must take back the house.
What you don't understand or refuse to acknowledge is that when we win the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, like we did in 2016 through 2018 the RINO's colluded with the leftist Democrat Party to remove the president. I am talking about Mitch McConnell, Liz Cheney, Kevin McCarthy, Lindsey Graham, etc. These people care more about the interests of the establishment class than Americans and will betray us again.
Please, tell us why the RINO's will not betray us again?
Please address the current issue. We need to take the democrats from power. Yes or no?
Presently, you are arguing over a frustration that may or may not happen if we take the Democrats from power. So, the answer is not to take the democrats from power? It makes no sense to me.
Please explain how the ‘rino’ congressmen removed our President from office. I must have missed that.
My newer book will answer your last question. I hope its done in September.
I led off with the assumption that you were not an idiot. I was wrong.
We will never achieve victory led by those who profit from losing. You keep voting for the same evil crew but I am done.
Say hello to Mittens and Cheney for me.
Wrong on all three counts. Sorry to see that.
I remember when Free Republic was a respectable forum, when we had very few people who had to use ad hominem arguments to argue their case. You would not have liked those days.
This 'lord' is in the Senate ... separate from the House of Representatives... Mitch the Senate has earned and deserves to be the 'minority leader'... Sink him and the rest of the wretched 'white privileged ' GOPe monsters ... They could care less about the USA ... their only object of protection is their 'principals'... of which they have bleached our bones dry.
Why am I imagining a grey haired spinster nagging at me?
OMG, grow a pair.
There is no “think tactical”. Liberal Republicans are just as much my enemy as regular Democrats.
Loud Mime will not respond. What is the matter Loud Mime, is the DNC too busy to give you instructions for your response?
