It is all too likely our Republican leaders will betray us once again and will turn our Nov. 8 victory into a defeat.
It is all too likely we will once again suffer the "death of a thousand cuts" at the hands of our leadership – bleeding away the impact of electoral success and draining the life from our great movement.
Sen. Mitch McConnell will likely hold GOP leadership in the Senate; who can stop him? He likely will be erroneously credited with the success of new and MAGA Republican senators – even though he fought against the election of most of them.
Even though his leadership is uninspired and uninspiring. Even though more often than not he uses his power in opposition to both conservative and America First principles. Even though he betrays his base with clock-like regularity.
Republican leaders like Mitch McConnell are worse than Democrats. At least Democrats fight for their own. At least Democrats are loyal to their brand.
It is more than likely Republicans will also impose upon themselves a second defeat – by electing Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House.
McCarthy, too, will wrongly be credited with the Republicans' victory this fall, despite his Herculean efforts to prevent the election of any Republican not loyal to him.
The existing and newly crowned MAGA candidates will likely not achieve numbers sufficient to unseat McCarthy. Once again we will be saddled with an ineffectual and inarticulate Republican leader, one already long compromised by his donors. McCarthy will persist, however, absent courage, absent vision and absent the wisdom to promote the America First ideas of his new colleagues.

Just my opinion, McCarthy and Quisling were cut from the same cloth.
But, if we avoid a violent putsch by the left to stop the election, it will likely be only because they think they have McConnell and McCarthy on their side.
Is water wet?
Do bears crap in the woods?
Real leaders would expect the party to stand for something and actually do it. Far easier to just coast along and enjoy the ride.
McConnell and McCarthy (and puppeteer Paul Ryan) are there because the party wants them there.
Two more years of lost opportunities ahead of us.
IMPEACH
IMPEACH
IMPEACH!!!
They use who can raise the most money and follow the establishment
One election isn’t going to change everything, we need to pay attention to the new MAGA Republicans that get elected, will they be corrupted and betray us is the better question to be asked
Dan Crenshaw is the perfect example, Navy Seal who was thought to be a real conservative but sold out the first day in Washington
How many will follow his example or follow the example of MTG and stay loyal to the MAGA movement
Of course they will. The Pubbie and Dem parties are two sides of the same collectivist coin. Why do you think people are walking away from both?
The walkaway movement will end up taking both parties down. I expect both will be practically non-existent within the next 10 or so years.
Many people are mis-guided in thinking that RINOs are not real Republicans. Yes they are! If you research the origins and history of the Republican Party you will see from the very beginning they have been just as collectivist as the Dems, but from a different perspective.
The best thing to do is to simply vote out all of the Leftist Pubbies and replace them with conservatives who abhor and reject collectivism. Unless that is done the two parties will continue to work with one another to protect each other from outside threats (like conservatives).
At this point, they have no choice. They’re basically democrats, and when the democrats own you, the democrats can destroy you. They have a lot more to fear from their democrat handlers than from the Republicans who keep reelecting them.

I just pray that the upcoming generation of Republican leaders—the Kari Lakes, Lee Zeldins, Tudor Dixons, etc.—don’t get Potomac fever as did Marco Rubio and Ben Sasse, who sold themselves to their voters as Tea Party conservatives when first elected.
We are going to have to put pressure all the Republicans after 11/8 by calling them, emailing them, etc. If we don’t do this they will do want they want.
They probably will. Right now, the GOOBers are betraying and backstabbing each other. The RATS are partying. They’ve successfully divided the GOP. Of course, they couldn’t have done it without the loving help of their retarded and homosexual “media” and their foreign fart checkers turning their backs on them and shining their spotlights the other way. Typical communists.
“Will the GOP leadership betray us again?”
Captain Obvious, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
It is SO disheartening how many people here still believe rescuing the nation by electing the GOP is even a possibility.
Agree.
This could go here
Despite raising all that money for every election? I have a simple way to decide you gets elected. Much faster than using ballots. Whichever candidate gets the most money is ‘elected’. Save us a lot of times and useless effort.
Good grief what a defeatist screed of junk.
No “we” won’t get everything we want all at once. “We” don’t even all want the same things!!
No McConnell is not as bad as a Democrat. We have had and are poised to have some fantastic Constitutional corrections in the USA due to HIS stalwart leadership on the courts.
Past history. Those who forget are destined for disappointment.
I'm just being realistic. 30+ years of watching these a-holes in the District of Corruption tells me what's going to happen.
Usually, it takes 10 years in office for a conservative to cross over. The minute he steps into office the distinction between his constituents in his home district or state and the Beltway starts to erode. He\she is often unaware it’s happening and by the 10-year point has juicy rationalizations to explain why it didn’t happen. My rule-of-thumb; 10+ years in DC without a break is enough. They need to go home! If a political career is their desire, they need to go home and run for office there. Run for governor, mayor, county commissioner, legislature, etc. Maybe, just maybe get a non-lobbying commercial job (Hanging out in a Beltway PR\Consulting firm doesn’t count!). I look askance at conservative professional politicians. I really really look askance at youngsters running for office! Here in WV we’ve one soon to be two college students in the state legislature. Budding professional politicians, they have all the right conservative stances, etc. I really don’t want to vote for them because they have no experience of life! What keeps my vote in their camp is the fact that their Rat opponents are always crazy leftwing unionistas. I sort of feel a similar discomfort in regard to DeSantis with his professional politician resume. He’s doing a good job in Florida, so there’s that! However, is shelter and dinner pail is provided and filled by ‘political success’ always a potential moral hazard!
