Renewed opposition to Trump stirs among establishment Republicans

There are different constellations in the Never Trump firmament and it’s unclear if they can unite

As Joe Biden lurched from crisis to crisis with plummeting approval ratings, the Republican party seemed largely content to bury its internal differences and enjoy the show.

But not for long.

Earlier this month Alyssa Farah Griffin, once communications director for President Donald Trump, made clear that her loyalties have shifted to former vice-president Mike Pence and the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell. “Put me squarely in the Pence/ McConnell camp,” Farah Griffin wrote on Twitter. “Certain denunciations must be unequivocal.”

This drew a sharp retort from Keith Kellogg, who served as Pence’s national security adviser. “As midterms draw close and 2024 looms large, choices will have to be made and lines will be drawn,” he tweeted. “For me – it is Trump.”

Just means Soros is throwing around more money to get the press to cover nevertrump comments as if they have significant numbers. They don’t

Spoiler: the GOP is not who they say they are. They tried to keep it under wraps by throwing the house election in 2018 and outsourcing opposition to Trump to the Dems. But when push comes to shove (as it is now be with 2024 approaching) they will showing us that they represent DC, DC, and DC only. Have no illusions that YOUR congressmen is different, it’s a 95% chance that he isn’t.

There are many establishment Republicans, or should I say establishment freerepublicANS who will follow the rhinos to the demise of this country too. They’d much rather destroy America than have a Trump or other non politician in the white hut.
Yes some on this site are just as fake as McConnel and Graham etc. Sad but true.

Hitching your wagon to purported star Pence?

He’s a dead horse.

A burnt out meteor.

An anchor.

Its clear the RINOs and the media will do whatever they can to demonize Trump. But his enemies define him as the right man for the job. Everyone else is a fake. We are not looking for a priest. We are looking for a bull dog to attack the enemy. I don’t need a bull dog to be perfect. I need him to be mean.

The only thing that would keep me from the polls is anyone but Trump running for President.

He deserves a Second Term AND SO DO WE!!
