The One Wing of the GOP That Keeps Embarrassing Itself Over Trump
Townhall.com ^ | 3/2/21 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 03/02/2021 3:32:26 AM PST by cotton1706

CPAC 2021 is over, and once again it showed how the party is no longer of the Romney-Ryan mold. Guys, it’s not your party anymore. Even Nikki Haley who is flip-flopping all over the place with regards to Trump, the GOP, and the future, admits those days are done. There will always be questions about election integrity during the 2020 election, but the facts are that Trump won the most votes of any incumbent president in history. Not a single House Republican lost his or her re-election. The Senate is split 50-50. And the Trump flavor did not sink the GOP even further down-ticket at the state-level races. Democrats failed to retake key targets in the state legislatures. This doesn’t necessarily bolster the ‘Trump is poison’ narrative the Liz Cheney-types want to disseminate to the masses.

I still don’t get why this is such a big deal or why there are some of the most aggressive reactions when you mention Trump to the more establishment-based folks within the GOP. Trumpism and traditional Reagan conservatism overlap a lot.

Under Trump, millions of jobs were created, no new wars, Middle East peace agreements were hashed out, new trade deals were negotiated, our immigration laws were enforced, taxes were cut, regulations were nixed, and the entire federal judiciary was overhauled. John Roberts has been rendered irrelevant with Trump putting three justices on the Supreme Court. How is this awful? How is this not conservative? It’s certainly not liberal, so off the bat—it’s something I support.

The facts on the ground don’t bolster the ‘Trump is poison’ narrative hate-types like Cheney want us to believe:
<><> Trump won the most votes of any incumbent president in history.
<><> Not a single House Republican lost his or her re-election.
<><> Much to the Democraps' chagrin, the Senate is split 50-50.
<><> the Trump presence did not sink the GOP;
<><> down-ticket votes at the state-level were stunning;
<><> Democraps tried and failed to retake key targets in state legislatures;
<><> Nikki Haley's jumping thru hoops trying to redeem her misbegotten anti-Trumpisms;
<><> naysayers McConnell and Romney now say Trump is a political force to be reckoned with.

The liberal radical pukes the rats and their GOP counterparts have turned the “make America great again” movement and narrative into a white supremacist movement instead of a movement that lifted all. 80 million will see that those who turned their back on trump never get reelected and if they are the 80 million will trun elsewhere

Then the writer doesn't understand the GOP - at all.

The RINOs have no idea how much Trump voters hate them after the 2020 betrayal.

They are going to find out in the 2022 primaries.

"There will always be questions about election integrity during the 2020 election,"

Theirs's "questions," when did this happen. Only a fool would believe that a basement dwelling, dementia old man, who couldn't draw a crowd, could win an election.

One man will be remembered for the Art of the Deal, the other good old joe-bite-me, {lower case letter "j," intended} will be remembered for "The Art of The Steal."

It’s really simple. They can’t own Trump, nor his voters. He owes nothing. He doesn’t need Billionaires who extract payment in kind. He has no skeletons, so they can’t manipulate him. He knows all of their dirty little secrets. The establishment hates that.

To the RINOs and Never Trumpers, The Donald made one unforgivable sin: He made them all look stupid by showing how easy it was, and how well it worked.

They will never forgive him for that, and always stab him in the back every chance they think they can get away with it. They are poison, and should be ridiculed, laughed at, every chance we get. Do not forgive, do not forget, because they are still there, biding their time.

Yep. The RINOS had their say but we the voters haven’t had our say yet. They’re going to find out exactly what we think come 2022 when the RINO hunt will be one like never before. Their treachery will not be forgotten.

makes sense that the maxwell’s gave pierre delecto a leg up on his finacial career at bain.

piece fails to mention that soroz was another early bain benefactor of pierre.

PS: waiting to see the pictures

While I agree with the thrust of the story,:

“John Roberts has been rendered irrelevant with Trump putting three justices on the Supreme Court. How is this awful? How is this not conservative?”

How is this true?

The democrats are thrilled with 50 seats, the Senate elections were a disaster.

Yeah, but it’s harder to muster the 51 votes needed....there are always renegade Dems on some issues who will vote w/ Repubs.

John Roberts has been rendered irrelevant with Trump putting three justices on the Supreme Court.

The author goes off the rails a bit here, but is otherwise correct in his assessment.
