Mike Lee: GOP Support of Omnibus Spending Bills ‘Should Never Happen’ — ‘We Will Self-Destruct as a Party’
Breitbart ^ | 12/22/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/22/2022 4:30:29 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) said Thursday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow” that Republican support of giant omnibus spending bills “should never happen” again.

Anchor Larry Kudlow said, “Senator Lee, just the last point here. I think Sen. Rand Paul put his finger on it. He was on our show a couple of nights ago. He said the GOP has lost any power of the purse, and he said the GOP has emasculated itself. This is not a good episode for the Republican Party, is it?”

Lee said, “No, not at all.”

I just can’t see the idea of joining the Democrats. How many decades would it take to pull that party to the right to any appreciable degree? For example, not one single Democrat in the House or the Senate voted for Trump’s tax cuts. Not one voted to repeal Obamacare.

You suggest a good name for a new party: the America First Party.

Let me add: A new party might succeed on its own, the way the Republican Party did.

Alternatively, it might be the best way to reform the GOP. Since the Civil War, the only time a third party didn’t come in third or worse was 1912. The Bull Moose Party had a former President (Theodore Roosevelt) who had wide support. When the Republican Party bosses blocked his nomination, he ran anyway, and relegated the GOP nominee (Taft) to third place. The result was that the Republican Party moved in his direction. In 1916 they nominated someone Roosevelt liked, so he endorsed the Republican instead of running again.

They already had when they let the 2020 election be stolen.

I emailed the RNCtold them to remove me from their list as if they did. They sold the list to all GOP running. Some days 100 emails, phone calls, and txt, to delete or block.
