At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter that Oz was a terrible candidate. No one knows if Fetterman is still alive and it’s blatantly obvious that his staff does everything.

It doesn’t matter that RINO Republican voters in Georgia thought that Walker was a terrible candidate, not voting for him gave Warnock 6 more years to help ruin this country.

I’m not one to push…any R is better than any D…but in some cases they are. You’ll get their support the majority of the time, even if they don’t really want to.

The Republicans could have had the numbers to hit the brakes on all of this. Cause total gridlock, which is a far better option than what we have now.

But…..NOPE….(insert name) was a terrible candidate.

Desantis has no chance of beating Biden. Neither does Trump. No Republican candidate can win the Presidency in 2024 (IMO).

The Democrats have perfected election fraud on a national scale and the Republicans have done absolutely nothing to change that. They are not going to change that. The "leadership" in the Republican party is perfectly comfortable with being a junior partner to the Democrats. They are in for a rude surprise.

The Democrats do not really want or need junior partners anymore. They will get control of the House and Senate in 2024 and kick all of the Republicans to the curb.

The ballot counts in seven major cities determine who will be selected as President. All of those cities are firmly under Democrat control. Just like they were in 2020. And we will see 120% "precinct turnout" with a 99% "vote" for the Democrat candidate. Just like we saw in 2020.

The only condition that could prevent Biden from being reelected is a sudden death from medical problems. Even that might be overlooked. A "sympathy vote" has been used before to place a deceased candidate in office. The Democrats can always appoint a replacement afterwards. It does not really matter who that is, as long as they will follow orders from the Cabal.

Economic collapse and an associated civil war might remove the Democrats from power. Nothing else will. The Republic we imagine we had is gone. What replaces it has yet to be determined.

Here we go.

Trump blew it. Here he had a chance to transform the party and he supports her.

I guess you think BiteMe got 81 million LEGITIMATE votes.

I guess you don't think Ryano threw the '18 HOR elections to stop Trump.

That and higher taxes, lower import tariffs, more offshoring and higher interest rates. Sure fire winners.

An article crafted to incite fear and retreat = Desantis fluffers primary strategy.

One thing that’s going to be interesting, IF DeSantis announces:

How big are his rallies going to be? Very simple and telling way to see where the support lies.

Clinton couldn’t draw flies. Sanders drew them by the 1000s, which is why they bribed him to get out of the race.

Even when Biden got Soetero to stump for him, neither could draw much more than the media and the security folks.

He is not going to have any. He'll get the GOPe, Fox etc. carry his H2O.

Not doubting that, at all.

Everything has become so phony.

You think the Democrats can manufacture as many votes as they need to win next year. At the same time, you're adamant that Trump will win next year. Something's not right there.

Can they point to RINOs doing any better. Dr Oz was a terrible candidate and the black girl Bennett? was much better and likely would have won.

Trump selected Oz. How do you know Bennett would have won?

Kathy Barnett was unpolished. Would she have done better than Oz in the PA senate race? Who knows?

But one thing is for sure. Barnett was a Pennsylvanian, the real deal. And Fetterman positioned himself as Pennsylvanian, the real deal.

On the other hand, Oz was a smirking plastic Hollywood phony. That was obvious to everyone, except to Trump and Hannity.

I would have taken my chances with Barnett.

Many years from now books will be written about how Desantis blew a golden opportunity handed to him on a golden platter. He would walk into the Presidency in '28 by doing nothing but continuiing his good work as gov. and backing Trump in '24.

As it looks now, Trump will smoke check him soon and Desantis is "Cruzing" himself and his future. What an epic fail.

The "losing streak" was self-inflicted by the GOP establishment.

It allowed Democrats to alter election rules due to Covid and rampant cheating in 2020. No one in their right mind would believe Trump won 18 of 19 bellwether counties in 2020 that had voted with the winner since 1980 and lost. Or they gained 15 seats in the House and that he did legitimately.

Then, we had the rigged elections in 2022. There was outrageous fraud in Arizona. Kari Lake was up four to 11 points in the polls and lost? Again, only a fool would believe she lost legitimately. And, let's not forget the ranked choice system Mitch McConnell and GOP establishment pushed in Alaska that cost Sarah Palin a seat she would have won easily.

The Republican party had a chance to be dominated for a generation if it has embraced the MAGA movement. But, the GOP establishment could stand the fact that he was stopping illegal immigration and ending the use of our foreign policy and military to enrich themselves.

So, enough false narratives. They don't fly with those of us that know the truth.

I don’t see any mention of the blatant vote fraud and election theft. Just blame Trump.

No Surprise.

The Rove/Ryan/DeSantis side of the argument ignores all of that.

Which is one of the primary reasons I will reject their candidate and candidacy if DeSantis runs.

Good Lord, this is insipid tripe. DEMOCRATS CHEAT! The GOP may be feckless, but Rats are hopelessly corrupt. To ignore this and blatantly state that Rats win on the merits is fatuous. Garbage.

McCain was so bad, even his own campaign manager didn’t vote for him.

Bush/Cheney left with 30% approval.

No, I agree there will be fraud again in '24. But '20 was a one-off election. COVID, BLM riots etc. IMO '20 was Peak Fraud™. From personal experience, in a football game, the side that plays dirty and cheats doesn't always win.

We will beat the "margin of fraud" with Trump. No else has a chance.
