They, of course have their hopes now on Mike Johnson.

It came down to Johnson, (RINO) and a true conservative Byron Donalds!

These B@$$-Turds could have really done a great thing by nominating Donalds.

100% conservative and the First Black speaker of the house!

That would be huge!

I don’t find being black as important as being a true conservative but apparently America does.

Look how everyone reacted to Hakeem(?) Jeffries(?) election as head of the Senate!

N-o-o-o, we can’t have a true conservative running the house!
Must be someone who will “Reach Across The Aisle!”

These people do their dirty business behind closed and locked closed doors!

Does that tell you anything?

I don’t trust the site he is referring to for those ratings.
Some one better get the ratings from multiple ratings sites and compare.

I believe some of these rating sites are deep state. Just like Snopes. Conservative review fails one of the most conservative reps in congress.

I used to refer to the ACU (whose site became so complicated now as to be a chore to try to find anything), but their ratings became ridiculous to the point that known RINOs were scoring absurdly high %’s. CR/Liberty seems far closer to the reality.

I messed up.

I don’t know why I was thinking Jeffries was Senate head.

I think it had to do with Pelosi bragging on him for ... Whatever it was a while back?

Anyway folks, I do apologize.🥴

Trumps mccarthycrats are required to pass all the dem funding and Marxist ideology. Big time harma has deep pockets and a short leash.

In a nutshell... All caused by RINOS refusing to vote for a candidate who is not totally corrupt.

Our Republic has foundered

Like weeds in the ground, RINOs are indestructible. They are voted in by “the people.”

Go look up his ratings. 100% from the Liberty Score. Where do you think he isn’t one ?

Of course, moot point now as the moderate Louisiana squishie got the job, and one of the first things he did was send more money overseas. Yup.

Ratings mean NOTHING. Words mean NOTHING. Actions DO.

Nothing has changed, the swamp wins again and the entire GOP can eat a bag of dicks as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t think I could eat an entire bag. Had a big lunch.

Ratings tell us whether their rhetoric matches the record. Why Speaker Johnson’s is a squishie “C” and Donalds gets a perfect “A.”

Byron Donalds was and will be, a flawed candidate. Short history, not reliable.

Look, I don't like who the Republicans picked either. Byron Donalds wouldn't have been any better and probably worse. His LIMITED track record may be good, it's nothing to hang one's hat on.

I've been here on FR since 1998. I never cease to be amazed at those who pin their hopes and dreams onto the latest flash in the pan, or think it'd be a good idea to nominate someone because of their skin color, and then force Democrats to vote against them.

Utterly ridiculous. On all counts. Principles matter. Time tested principles matter MORE.

I cannot think of maybe a handful of Republicans in the House & Senate who's principles held up over time. None of them are in leadership in the House or Senate.

This country is eff'd.

Best advice: Get right with God, Jesus Saves & prepare to defend yourself and your family, YOURSELF.

We're on our own. The barbarians are past the gate, millions are in this country. Those who aren't prepared to defend themselves and their loved ones, are screwed.

It's just a matter of time before all this sh*t unravels completely.

Short history is what makes him a better candidate. The longer people are in DC, the more corrupted they become. The fact that he is to the right of all the other candidates was also a plus. That he would sabotage the Demonrat efforts to put the Pelosi puppet Ha-Keem as the first Black Speaker is the cherry on top. Forcing the Demonrats to play by the rules/parameters they foist on the GOP is another bonus.

Nobody in the GOP leadership deserves to be there at present, most are there to screw us and are corrupt (the Senate is even worse, an absolutely treasonous den of thieves, and that’s not even counting the Demonrat side).

Hopefully the collapse you predict (as have I) is later rather than sooner. It will require a Godly authoritarian to set us straight and correct countless decades of evil and blasphemous legislation and spending (and other illicit activities). Treating a Republic set up to follow Godly Christian values and debasing it to a “Democracy” (which always fails as an ungodly tyranny of mob rule) was the premier mistake that befell America.
