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.

They are like illegal aliens. They get all the benefits with zero responsibility.

Establishment Republicans Always Grab Defeat from the Jaws of Victory.
Their mission is to protect the UniParty

Well... Duuuhhh!

Is there really anyone alive and breathing that doesn’t realize the Republican Party does not want control and responsibility?

Three times we’ve given them that hot potato and they immediately did everything possible to get rid of it.

rinos control the leadership

which means rinos control the purse strings

keeping rinos in control of the party is more important than winning elections with candidates who will challenge that control

mitch has given money to vance and oz

we shall see how he treats the rest of the MAGA candidates

The Republicans want their piece of the political pie, and the conservatives will deliver it to them through the traditional Republican-conservative coalition [formed after Bill Clinton 1992].

The Democrats want Power. They'll do anything to get it.

The GOP would rather elect Democrats than lose control of the party.

Bush League Republicans ARE Assistant Democrats.

They have been blocking the citizens from stopping the Bush Plan for North mexico (aka USA) for 30 years.

Mitch McConnell is hard-wired into the gravy train, and he doesn’t want to do anything that will slow down the grift and graft.

Why is it behaving this way and what can be done to change this dynamic?

It's behaving this way because it's selecting stupid candidates. In what universe are Dr. Oz and Hershel Walker top-tier nominees?

Most Americans don't live in one of those areas. The only dangerous place here in MO is one part of St Louis. 1% of the state at most. Probably the same nationwide. Meanwhile, 100% has inflation and we all see this admin's spending.

McConnell gave the game away when he approved the Biden little scam, which was easily reconciled in the Big Scam.

He knew the game. He couldn’t have been that stupid deliberately.

It became painfully obvious when Trump was elected that the GOP had no intention of fixing anything, they're only interested in being an opposition party because that's where the money is. The voters gave them the presidency, senate, and house with a mandate to get rid of the disastrous Obamacare and stop the invasion at our southern border. Trump's agenda was to fix both and both chambers of congress stonewalled him at every turn.

About 90% of the GOP needs to be tossed out on their ass. They're nothing but a bunch of lifelong politicians getting rich off of kickbacks and bribes while pretending to represent their constituents and doing exactly the opposite of the rhetoric they spew.

American Government is a stew of Uniparty, globalism, support for the Davos-crowd and corrupt self-interest.

It’s not called the “Stupid Party” for nothing.
