They’ll do and say anything to avoid the fact it’s the agenda we’re loyal to, not the man.

Since you bring it up, BobL, cameras and microphones in every classroom.

Good enough for the cops. Good enough for the people teaching the kids.

Don’t like it. Don’t teach.

Parents pay the bills. Parents mandate the cameras and mics.

Exactly - no one forces them into classrooms.

Note the author of this hit piece. No court has asked for evidence. So this is just AP regurgitating the MSM line.

Bush League Republicans still run the RNC and dominate the GOP.

Grahamnesty, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Daines, Crapo, Cramer, Boozman, Scott, Scott, Cassidy, Capito, Fischer, Moran, Lee, Risch, Sullivan, Barasso and Romney are all Bush League Republicans.

Plus the 145 House members that voted for Liz Cheney in Feb.

We need a thorough House and Senate cleaning.

Trump’s endorsement basically means a win in any Republican primary.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then he needs to stop endorsing Bush League Republicans.

Trump endorsed Romney.
He endorsed McCain.

Trump also endorsed McConnell, Grahamnesty, Tillis, Cornyn, Ernst, Capito, Cassidy, Risch, Rounds, Sasse and Sullivan.

He has endorsed Amnesty Senator Rubio for 2022.
Along with Boozman, Crapo, Grassley and Tim Scott.

We will NEVER Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.

most in Washington do not understand that 6 years ago most Americans did not understand the game that was being played by the neo-con and the neo liberals. We understand now that both did not have a political ideology, instead, they used the political ideology as a tool to get elected and then to profit from their office. Hillary- Romney the only difference between the two was whether at the beginning of their career they claimed to be conservative or liberal and this was dictated by the constituents in the states they started their political career in. Both see conservative and liberal ideology as just a mask and tool for power.

I don’t know of Youngkin even commenting on the 2020 election or calling the Jan 6 political prisoners ‘terrorists’, like Cruz has done.

Cruz. Now there’s a slippery politicians if there ever was one. Cruz follows where the wind blows — and the whispers of his sponsor, Golden Sacks.

“I don’t know of Youngkin even commenting on the 2020 election or calling the Jan 6 political prisoners ‘terrorists’, like Cruz has done.”

That’s the thing, they don’t have to run around with a red hat all their lives...they just have to follow a standard Golden Rule, which is to keep one’s mouth shut if you don’t have anything good to say.

In the case of Trump, we’re NOT operating in a vacuum, in that you cannot attack Trump (and by default, the 90% of the GOP base who supports him) without empowering Democrats.

Youngkin figured that out and (assuming that he can’t stand Trump, which is likely!), figured out that he’d lose 3 or more GOP votes for every potential soccer mom vote that he picked up. So he did the math RIGHT. And I doubt it was difficult for him. I suspect he was asked by reporters many times to comment on Trump, and he just mumbled something useless!

One other thing...you never see the Democrats go after their own base, like the GOP has done. Note after 2000 election or 2016. In both cases, they DID NOT tell they’re base they’re full of it, when the base claimed that elections were ‘stolen’. They either ignored them, or joined them in a few cases. It wasn’t hard for the Democrats to figure it out, but I guess it’s difficult for people like Cruz to figure out.

Yes, Youngkin acted like an OldVeterankin. He learned the math of power and influence running the Carlyle Group.

And he probably had some personal wealth and long-term friends who allowed to run without compromising his future Office.

Time will tell. I’m a Trump fanatic, but I don’t mind voting for a GOPe candidate here and there.

However I will NEVER vote for Brian Kemp when he runs for reelection as Governor. And the reason is he’s utterly corrupt and was complicit it stealing the election from Trump in 2020.
