And that’s the stupidity of what’s going on with us on the right. That we are more concerned about loyalty to a candidate than winning elections. If there was a concentration on getting conservatives elected, we could pass statewide voting reforms that protect and reinforce honest elections, we could close the borders, deport & build a permanent barrier, we could get conservatives seated on courts, etc. If you don’t win elections or worry about loyalty to a candidate as our first priority we help elect and end up ruled by leftists

There is no viable alternative to Trump running...all these other candidates are RINO’s more of the same i.e. Ukraine...basically RINO’s...even Burgum is parroting the Ukraine talking points. Vivek is not viable...some GOP will simply not vote for him i.e. 50% he can’t win GOP nomination.

You’re clueless. If you can only vote for a specific group of candidates thebelection is completely and totally useless and meaningless to a free people. Get a clue, it’s not just about Trump. It’s about what it means to have a government that has the consent od the governed.

Another one who doesn't know what time it is.

Is your comment self-satire or what? Right off the bat you offer up this strawman:

“.. we are more concerned about loyalty to a candidate than winning elections.”

Your implication that we’re choosing loyalty to Trump over winnability in the next election, is utter nonsense. Even if electability is your only metric, Trump is the by far the strongest Republican candidate running, with around a 40% gap between he and his closest GOP challenger.

Pretending for a moment that Biden really got 81 million votes in 2020, Trump’s official vote total in 2020 gives him the second largest number of votes in history. In the 3 years since that election, support for Biden has only plummeted while support for Trump has grown. The recent indictments against him have backfired and gained him unheard-of support among some of the Democrat party’s most loyal constituencies.

>>If there was a concentration on getting conservatives elected, we could pass statewide voting reforms that protect and reinforce honest elections, we could close the borders, deport & build a permanent barrier, we could get conservatives seated on courts, etc.

Have you been paying attention to elections for the past 20-plus years? We’ve been hearing that line for as long as I can remember. “If we just elect more conservatives we’ll be able to fix things.”

Do you remember the Tea Party, and do you remember how that movement was waylaid by Establishment Republicans giving lip service to its ideals? We were back to business as usual in no time. Most all of the Tea Party firebrands that were elected were indistinguishable from the Establishment Republicans they campaign against, in short order.

If you think sticking with the same-old, same-old is the answer then you’ve learned nothing from recent history.

That’s bullsh!t and you know it.

Since 2000 they had President + House and Senate for eight years, and none of that happened.

In fact, Ass-clown Paul Ryno et al. deliberately sabotaged the Wall, such that Trump had to go to emergency spending just to get some of it built.

The same Fake-ass “conservatives” like Michael McCaul said the Wall was too expensive and not necessary. Now he sends hundreds of billions to Ukraine and says it is a national imperative.

The UniParty is all lying douchbags, and the idea that they should still be supported despite 30 years of betrayals is the REAL stupidity of the right, and why it is constant defeat.

How adorable. You still think a serious thoughtful conservative on this planet can win the WH in our current political environment. It will take a warrior who is on the offense to have a chance under our corrupted election process. None of the GOP candidates running today have what it takes to beat the deep state. A survivor like Trump is our best bet to secure a conservative victory in 2024 because he has withstood the onslaught since 2015 and is still kicking.

This is true. The right has chosen to vote with their emotions as the left usually does.
