The GOP is the slightly right of center wing of the Uniparty. Almost every one of them is a RINO. They are the lesser rank portion of the swamp.

Not a good ideat to lessen enthusiasm of voters before the election by hypothecating leadership woes IF WE WIN.

Let’s win the damn election first and then worry about holding their feet to the fire on specific issues. I don’t know that you will EVER get the far right faction on board with realistic goals.

..........and the other choice is?????....Democrat control??? No thanks. IF the choice is ONLY a RINO or a communist controlled Democrat, EVEN if the RINO were to vote 1 in 20 times for something conservative, I'll take that rather than a 100% Communist....

Don't get me wrong, I detest RINOS but I detest Communist Democrats more!!!!!

No McConnell is not as bad as a Democrat.

It's ironic that this cycle, the Democrats were funding the Republican candidates that McConnell won't.

Your other choice is to go with the person that feels the same way about issues as you do.
Vote third party.
And, no, a vote for third party is NOT a vote for the democommie, regardless of what the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts tell you.
It’s a vote for the third party candidate.
If you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are still voting for evil.

It’s not a question IF they’ll betray us. The only question is, HOW LONG will it take them?

The candidates we get are a symptom, people looking for “leaders” are a major part of the problem.

The one VERY underused word in journalism and communications on all topics is the word SOME.

Why it seems important to save the space of four letters is beyond me, particularly when those little four letters change the narrative on a massive amoung of news storties and discussions.

Like no reports ever say “some scientists”, when most of the time that that is a greater truth about a news report on some scientific matter than is merely saying “scientists”. “Some” demonstrates their is a limitation involved - showing the meaning implies it is not “all”.

Will some GOP “leaders” (define that) “betray the voters during the next Congress? Yes, likely SOME will, on some specific occasion but not likeley on all occasions. But in each case what will that mean? What if the GOP House and Senate cuacus LEADERS agree and can’t somehow get a majority of the rank and file GOP reps and Senators to go along? Does that mean the GOP “leaders” betrayed the GOP voters??

Yes hold “leaders” responsible when they personally fail to agree to promote things the GOP voters thought they elected people to get done. But be specific, about specific leaders. Do not generalize and blame all for the sins of some, and not blame “leaders” when they are unable to dictate the votes of those under them. Specifically, put the blame where it always belongs, on SOME individuals.

The GOP will do what it always does. They'll bend a knee to their evil overlords. They'll pretend to try to accomplish some 'conservative' goals, but will be thwarted by the dastardly 'president', who they can't ever seem, to overrule. They'll continue to launder as much money as they can through the ukraine.

If McCarthy tries to act like John Boner or Paul RINO, his Speakership will last as long as Liz Truss did as PM of the UK.

McConnell is a criminal and needs be unseated and certainly not replaced by soft McCarthy who is just as bad. We need a fighter who will go in the ring and win everytime
