Republican establishment to conservative and faith-based voters: ‘Drop dead’ [Opinion]
The Hill ^ | 26 Nov 2022 | DOUGLAS MACKINNON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR

Posted on 11/26/2022 10:09:03 PM PST by blueplum

...After the predicted “red wave” failed to materialize on Nov. 8, it’s safe to believe that not only are a large number of these conservative and faith-based voters depressed, they’re also shocked that the Republican leadership — which failed so miserably — will remain in power once again....

...With literally hundreds of millions of dollars spent, much of it donations from these constituencies, combined with an election perfectly teed up for the Republican establishment and leadership to win after two years of one White House/Democratic failure after the other, the GOP still managed to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory....

.After the predicted “red wave” failed to materialize on Nov. 8

Nice try.
Republicans won a massive 7 Million more votes than Democrats in House elections nationwide, in addition to winning control of The House.
And its Buh Bye to Pelosi.

Do not donate to the Republican House or Seante Campaign Committee. Donate to conservative PACs and individual candidates. Do not donate through WinRed, either. They take half and give it to establishment PACs.

Oh yes.
Pelosi has been dethroned and will spend her last years in The House as an irrelevant side issue.

Best thing to do is cut off donations, in 2020 I donated several thousand to Trump and the National GOP, early in 2022 I started getting calls from the GOP asking me to step up once again and I told them no and gave them the reasons why and it was like but,but,but....Now I donated to Canidates I felt had the message and agenda I supported and gave directly to them.

thThat is nothing new. They said the same thing back in theat least 1980s, probly earlier. And they said F.Y. to their Conservative Base too. Of course, neither bunch believed them and continued to kiss their asses and got nothing but contempt in return.

I dont think they got their *** kicked. I think they did well and am tired of hearing the narrative that says the opposite which clearly was written long before the electkon took place.

They lost because the party embraced a very extreme anti-abortion position (no exceptions for rape, incest, life, health of the mother, and at 6 weeks). There were plenty of people here who supported that even if the voters did not.

Do I think the party lost on purpose? Yes. The party needs to represent the voters, and it does not. Embracing fringe ideology won’t help.
