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.

A lot of brown turds floating in the supposed Red Wave coming in November. I predicted that the DEMs would not lose the House and the Senate months ago. I stick by that prediction.

Republicans sit home and whine about the purity of their candidates and get rolled.

Inflation
Crime
Taxes
Critical Race Theory
Trannies

That’s a winning hand.

The GOP leadership hates Trump as much as the Democrats do. They’d rather have a minority party than lead a majority party full of Trump endorsed representatives.

That's my take, too. The GOP is hoping to hang what should have been a sure win into a Trump loss. McConnell has basically admitted he doesn't like some of the Trump candidates.

The GOP will never be worth anything unless it gets MAGA leadership.....

This is something that the GOP Establishment is desperately trying to avoid. And we know why.

If there is MAGA leadership, then big-donor money will dry up, because the big donors DO NOT WANT MAGA.

Our primary goal must be to replace all the RINO/Uniparty grifters in office today with good solid Patriots. Nothing else is acceptable.

Lots of refreshing Republican advertising on WRKO-AM radio—Massachusetts.

(Mentions Bidenflation, gas prices, school manipulations).

The border and crime. Bringing jobs and industry back. Now that is what wins.

Trump hatred is stronger than Trump support.

Two words, Bull and sh!t.

They might think about it like this, If they take over congress, then they will get the blame for anything that goes wrong. Giving people a reason to vote Democrat in the next presidential election. Hold off until 2024, the general public will be more eager to vote for the Republican candidates.

I actually predict due to massive cheating that the GOP will NOT win a SINGLE contested seat. They are just too stupid to see the writing on the wall.

They would be called racist - and they have proven they have no idea how to counter that charge.

They are trojan horses for the democrats; they are traitors to the people who elected them to represent them.

They want the same agenda, but don’t want to take the heat for it.

Some are democrats deceitfully running as republicans because it’s the only way they could get elected into office to advance their agenda.
