The GOP Is Doing Its Best To Lose The November Election: Why is it behaving this way and what can be done to change this dynamic?
American Thinker ^ | 08/22/2022 | Vince Coyner

Last week, Tucker Carlson showcased the fact that the GOP is doing its best to lose November’s election.

He included a clip of Mitch McConnell admitting that the GOP would likely not take the Senate. McConnell and the rest of the leadership don’t want to win. Carlson rightly suggested that, if Republicans really wanted to win, they’d run on crime and immigration. While the economy is reportedly voters’ number one issue, it’s what goes on in their neighborhoods and on their streets that matters. If Americans don’t feel safe in their homes, walking down their streets, or sitting in drive-thru lines because they’re scared to go into a restaurant or store, nothing else matters…not the economy, abortion, gender rights, or Ukraine.

Republicans don’t care. They’re complaining about Biden’s spending, bemoaning government overreach, and sanctioning Putin. Those issues aren’t going to return the GOP to power, but Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna McDaniel seem sanguine. Their lives don’t change if the GOP doesn’t take back Congress. They’ll still rule their little fiefdoms, still be invited to Georgetown cocktail parties to be feted by lobbyists and, of course, they’ll still be on Sunday morning shows to feign outrage for the latest Democrat policy.

For these grifters, the only difference between winning and losing in November is having to work for the American people…something they’re loathe to do.

But for the average American, the difference between winning and losing in November is literally life and death, lawlessness, or civil society.

The world wouldn’t change overnight on November 8, but what could happen is that the people who control the purse strings, who are supposed to make the laws, could change—just as in 1994.

This is why even though the defeat/obliteration of Liz Cheney may be a momentary spike of a great tasting steak dinner or a divine dessert, 8-10 hours later the same-old s**t output will be indistinguishable from having eaten a McDonald’s burger. Unless GOP efforts and methods start rising to the battle, and soon.

I didn’t call Walker and Oz scum. They may have issues,

Ya think?

Ask a RAT, scum is okay as long as it it wins and puts the House or Senate in their hands.

Isn't that the definition of what the GOP candidates are doing as well? So long as Walker or Oz wins then they're perfectly fine?

Are smaller donations even required to be disclosed publicly?

Mitch McConnell would rather lose an election (except his seat) than give Donald Trump a victory.

I don’t remember the minimum amount, but you get on regulator’s radar if too much of your fund is anonymous.

Why is it behaving this way?

The Pubbies have a long history of pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Many of the old-timer establishment GOP don’t have a problem sitting back, letting Dems lead, and still getting their turn at the money troughs.

Recall that Liz Cheney increased her wealth from around $6 million to $33 million during her 5 years in the House.

When an authentic oversight committee outs your misdeeds one might not want to have one.

With MAGA committee members, the GOPE comrades would have no top cover to keep their misdeeds under wraps........

We often think the bad guys are wearing the other teams uniform.

They’re upset that we haven’t taken the side of the police state on the January 6 show trials or the Mar-a-Lago raid. We must be punished.

Trying to lose elections is a known GOP trait, and even when they do win, and get the majority, they behave like losers until they lose the majority again. Rinse and repeat.

I was living in KY when McC first won in 1984. I was a Kentuckian for only four years. Years later I wish I had voted for Huddleston, instead of McC. Huddleston though a Democrat could not have done the damage McC has.

Also Len Wood of GA helped to sabotage the Republican senatorial races a couple of days before “Jan. 6.”

He’s going under the assumption that the GOP wants to win. The fact is they don’t. They can keep all their little perks and kickbacks without having to do anything.

Simple..
The old guard doesn’t want to go...
So, the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts are fighting us...
The only tools they have are the media and money...
Money so far has made little to no difference in the outcomes...
And everyone ignores the media..
They are fighting a battle that they have already lost...

I assume that the GOP is fully in on the Great Reset, which is also known as Global Governance.

The GOP Is Doing Its Best To Lose ...

I've been saying exactly that since the 2020 Election Steal. Maybe it's because the GOP "leaders" figure that Democrats/RINOs have Communist CCP on their side (Wu-Flu invasion during 2020 Election Steal), the far-left MSM, Soros-financed Democrat/RINO politicians across the nation, control of the White House, Senate & House of Reps, far-left academia, etc. So it's possible that maybe the GOP leadership is just raising the white flag ... as Democrats/RINOs raise the red Communist CCP flag?

Obviously not your personal choice but that’s what the voters of GA and PA chose.
In what universe are Fetterman, Warnock, Bernie, Chris Coons, Patty Murray, Cory Booker, Patrick Leahy, Dick Durban, etc etc the cream of the crop? Yet Libs vote them in election after election. They get out and vote - multiple times. Republicans sit home and whine about the purity of their candidates and get rolled.
The choice for GA voters is the creepy Warnock or less than perfect Walker who will be a voice for MAGA. Choice for PA is the non functioning cretin Fetterman or the very less than perfect OZ who can be guided into being a voice for MAGA.
