I hope the newspaper headlines on Monday are: “Turtle chokes to death on turkey.”

Oz and Walker were Trump’s endorsees, and they were pretty bad picks.

Says the UniParty hack POS that fought every one of em..
Says the UniParty hack POS that’s snatched RAT defeat from the jaws of victory so many times, we can’t even count em all anymore.
Says the UniParty hack POS that’s betrayed the entire GOP base.
It’s THIS UniParty hack that’s “diminished” and needs to be gone.

Everyone can see what the RINO 'strategy' is: if the voters choose MAGA over RINO in the primaries, then RINOs will do everything in their power to make sure that the Democrat wins. So republican voters, if you don't want the Democrat to win, then you had better vote for the Turtle's candidates in the primary.

RINO traitors are public enemy number one. Democrats would have no power were it not for RINO traitors.

Hard to beat election fraud, especially when the leadership of you own party does nothing to counter!

McConnell must go, or the Republican party needs to split.

Do not let them fool you, the problem is not, repeat not, the candidates.

From an earlier reply:

Both the 2020 election the 2022 election have demonstrated that neither the facts on the ground nor the issues debated in the press (or ignored by the press) are cogent enough to overcome the infrastructure advantage owned by the Democrats.

If the Hunter Biden laptop story could not gain traction either in 2020 or in 2024, we must acknowledge that there is something going on beyond our capacity to win elections when every historical precedent tells us we should sail to victory.

The problem is not only Rona McDaniel, although of course she has to go, the problem is not only misfeasance by Mitch McConnell, the problem is not poor candidates (Doctor Oz, for example, was a reasonably able candidate who should have won in the conditions that obtained in Pennsylvania). No, the problem is best seen as a problem of infrastructure.

We all know the Democrats are advantaged in the media to a value of hundreds of millions of dollars but they are also advantaged in the gathering and spending of campaign funds. More, the Democrats have disproportionately more organizations supplying the party with foot soldiers who can deliver live voters or who could harvest and transport dubious ballots.

Gramsci, communist of The Frankfurt School, and his followers have accomplished their long walk through the institutions so they have co-opted virtually every political, governmental, nongovernmental, cultural and educational agency in the land. All the millions of people associated with these institutions, dependent on these institutions for their rice bowls to be filled, are likely Democrat voters or they cannot prosper within the institution.

Perhaps the most important institution subverted by Democrats is the educational establishment which is actively churning out Democrats from kindergarten through postgraduate studies. By the time these indoctrinated individuals approach the voting booth the indoctrination is so complete that distractions like Hunter Biden's laptop pointing to gross corruption of a presidential candidate is simply discounted. In other words, the quality of the candidate on the Democrat side does not matter, hence, the president can be elected who cannot safely venture from his basement and a Senator can be elected who humiliates himself in debate. These voters are simply conditioned as though they were in a Skinner box and the stimulus that comes from the Republican Party simply does not register.

For those individuals who do not reflexively vote Democrat as a result of indoctrination, the Democrats have brilliantly exploited data mining. Data mining tells marketers your shoe size and it tells Democrats your electoral proclivities and vulnerabilities which they exploit because they have foot soldiers who will expend the shoe leather to personally approach data mined voters whose vulnerabilities have been psychologically evaluated. These foot soldiers have been prompted to exploit those vulnerabilities on an individual and personal level.

All of these features come together to create a formidable infrastructure that increasingly and inevitably produces Democrat victories.

Occasionally a charismatic figure like Donald Trump can break through, especially if the Democrats were asleep at the switch out of hubris and disregard for Trump. But overall, and increasingly, the fate of the Republican Party is slipping out of their control. Unless and until the degree and nature of the problem is understood, we will continue to be frustrated and in our frustration we will point fingers at individuals, at candidates, and we will continue to believe that we can win next time if only we can get an honest count.

The infrastructure problem has taken us well beyond these fixes.
