The GOP can’t be saved. Center-right voters need to become Biden Republicans.
The Washington Post ^ | April 7, 2021 | Max Boot

Posted on 04/08/2021 10:07:17 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump this year, recently told the Atlantic why he remains committed to the party: “I’m a Republican because I’ve been a Republican far longer than Donald Trump has. He’s a Republican usurper.… I’m not going to let him take the party. So I will fight. I will fight like hell.”

It is a decision I have not for a moment regretted, because the GOP has become even more of a horror show than I anticipated. As former House speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) notes in a new memoir, the “crazies” have taken over. There are vanishingly few John McCain-style Republicans left; Kinzinger (a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard) is one of the few. The party’s center of gravity has shifted to kooks such as Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (who blamed Jewish space lasers for wildfires) and low-rent hucksters such as Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (who reportedly shared nude photos of his sexual conquests with his colleagues and is under investigation for possible sex trafficking).

Max Boot. LOL! He can join his buddy Bill Kristol in the wilderness. Nobody takes this Neocon seriously. Go back to being the Leftist you always were Max.

"Know your enemy" is good policy.

Kinzinger is a twerp cut from the same cloth as Boehner and Ryan!

Kinzinger is toast in 2022. I live in Hellinois. I know people in his district. They're already organizing against him and every time he opens his mouth he just gives them more motivation.

When he says “the GOP can’t be saved”, he really means “the Deep State is losing control of the GOP”.

“How in the world a woman who had to drop out before the first primary stands a chance of ascending to the top office in the land is beyond my comprehension.”

In the primary, Hillary and Obama both backed a different candidate. Hillary backed the skateboard riding fake latino from Texas, Beto O’Rourke. Obama backed Willie Brown’s back door woman Kamala Harris.

Neither one moved the needle among Democrat voters. Even Biden was having trouble until he got the endorsement of James Clyburn, the venerable leader of Black Democrats.

The Clyburn endorsement gave Biden the nomination. It was a deal arranged by Barack Obama. Biden only received that deal by agreeing to take the utterly unqualified Kamala as VP. Kamala is Obama’s sock puppet. But so is the increasingly senile Joe Biden. What we are living through is Obama’s illegal 3rd term.

Levin believes that Anwar Al-Awlkai’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent, are natural born citizens eligible to be President.

If Ted Cruz is, they are.

Biden Republicans? No thanks, Adam... Trump Republicans are what will save the Republicans, not you Globalist Morons, Adam Kinzinger. Why not join John Crybaby Boehner in the list of ex Representatives.

Actually, Levin did disclose that his fiancée’s son worked for Cruz.

That is an earlier date than I remembered, although it is seven months after Trump announced.

Apparently Levin thought this revelation about his fiance’s son was a big deal judging from his angry reaction. Although angry reactions seem to be pretty common for him so who knows.

They now hate Lincoln as much as pelham and mine ancestry.....so much for virtue signaling on the backs of my ancestors

Honest Abe is now a racist too....we warned the virtue signaler when they came for my statues

Ancestors who by the way were held in respect by their yankee peers short of radical Republican reconstructionists ....the Schumers and Schiffs of their era

I am pretty sure I am considered southern by nearly everyone here

I have never known a neoconfederate in my life....I’ve known one klansman...one...I’m 63...Mississippi raised....and my dad fired him

Some terms bandied by Levin and Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowery and Glenn Beck are just virtue signaling perjoratives meant to politically ostracize or shut down truth to power

On Levin and Trump

Levin woke up when he realized his audience was in revolt ....his partner is Cheetos face plant

I could spend 24/7 informing here.....I’m about truth....that’s a facet of conservatism

But I’m lucky ....I keep company of folks like pelham and ohioan..

And I just piggyback their facts and wisdom cornucopia .....

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Karma is a bitch...

No one would listen to Jeremiah either, so we can at least have a better appreciation for that Book.

I’ve been in California for so long it’s basically like being an expatriate anyway.
Certainly regarding the South, but also for the older USA. This is state is post-America,
the multi-culti polyglot mess that won’t spend a lot of time tearing down American history.
It will just completely ignore it. Si se puede!

The fedora hat hides the fact that Max Boot is bald. He can’t hide the fact Max Boot is fat. And he seems to be proud of the fact that Max Boot is an idiot.

What made Levin angry was that an anonymous someone was trying to intimidate him on that basis.

"Why do you keep posting far left nonsense from the Washington Post here?"

I just checked: Prior to this thread, I haven't posted anything from The Washington Post since January, and I certain make no conscious habit of posting their stuff in particular.

Please go be stupid at someone else.

The point being to avoid posting far left nonsense and propaganda no matter what the source is.

Wardaddy, I wanted to get your property’s value up so I volunteered your back pasture as the new Confederate Monument Museum. Actually that would be way cool just down the road from the battlefield. Charge nominal admissions for maintenance and there you go.

Seriously though I didn’t know Levin was so GOPe, what with the Reagan credentials (and a moment here for G.Gordan - there was a man). There is NO one I’d rather have arguing Constitutionality in any court. He just needs to go see the Wizard for some backbone reinforcement and the Tim Man’s oil can for that squeaking he makes when riled up.
