Yes. They are winning elections and losing the vote counting.

The GOP needs a complete revamping of their platform = MAGA and Donald Trump.

True, until 5-time loser Trump steps away from the scene.

False, Trump will crush all the light weight squishes in the primary and then crush the Democrat in the genral.

Well, DUH!

Non-predetermined elections are a thing of the past...
The clueless GOP is being allowed to stick around for window dressing only...

There are 40,000,000 Mexicans openly living in the USA today...

35,000,000 other home-country MIVs are already here...

Soros-Bezos are in their third year of managing local & federal elections through ballot-printing presses in school and church basements and storerooms all around the country...

Therefore, the ruling American communists already have 115-to-125 million votes already locked up and ready for distribution...

I will vote for Trump if he’s the candidate. That Trump would have a cakewalk over DeSantis is wishful thinking in my opinion. Trump needs to stop making unforced errors. Criticizing Pro-Life Republicans is dumb and DeSantis will use it if he runs.

I think DeSantis would have a good shot at the general election, but I agree that he can’t beat Trump.

Trump is responsible for gettting Roe V Wade overturned. He is not going to have any problems in that area.

To the average voter Desantis isn't as "exciting" as you Desanitis fluffers think he is.

Keep Trump muzzled and out of sight and Republicans will regain power

A party that would do that is NOT a party that would get my vote. A party that would do that is EXACTLY the kind of party this nation does NOT need in power.

Repukes allowed the steal to stand. 2 elections. Repukes are either in on it, or too weak and feckless to do anything about it. Men without backbones.

New York is a blue state. Most “experts” thought that Democrats would win easily the house seats in New York. George Santos did what most experts couldn’t believe.

“2022 midterm elections were a catastrophe for Republicans.”

Why is Adam Schiff and Eric Swallwell complaining about their committee assignments? Why are they saying it is because of revenge? If it was all bad for Republicans, then Adam Schiff and Eric Swallwell would still be on the intelligence committee.

Only in a genuinely honest election.

As long as the democrat fraud machine is in place, not a chance.

If Republicans do not solve the problem of massive fraud by the Demoncrats this country will be swept into oblivion.

Absolutely true.

Worthless article.

Apparently the author is of the belief that democrats have been winning elections legitimately.

Nope. Once you cheat your way to the top, you can gatekeep.

Thank you for succinctly and accurately answering the question posed by the article. You saved me the drudgery of plowing through another loving-winded, Master Of the Obvious tome.

Historically, both major parties retained relevance by changing their positions with changing times. So the Republican Party will regain power, but that's irrelevant and unimportant.

What is relevant and important is: What will the future GOP stand for? What compromises will it make to retain its relevance?

And more importantly, is there a political future, not for the GOP, but for Christians and white people? Or will we be overwhelmed by a majority that hates us?
