I can appreciate your enthusiasm for your candidate...I would very much like to see a Republican administration in the White House, as well as a Republican controlled Senate & House. Did you not read the article from Dr. Wayne Grudem, the link I posted as a reply to your post?Not true.
What is a ‘reasonable’ Republican? Romney? Bush? Cheney? The dude that says we won’t take as much of your money and freedom as the democrats will? The Rhino that’s not quite as commie as the democrat? The shit head that says we must be reasonable and surrender our self-determination and wealth for the benefit of the non-citizen? Fuck no. That’s not what my friends died for.
Why do you think Trump single handedly crushed the Bush dynasty, derailed Cruz, stopped Rubio and ended Hillary‘s ambitions? People are tired of the swamp and want an outsider, that’s why they voted for Trump. It was not a fluke he won, it was because he finally gave people a true alternative. When Trump won it shocked the entire political system. The entrenched power in DC freaked out. Trust me, I saw it first hand. The entire Swamp and media turned on Trump because he dared to interrupt their scam and they began to fabricated shit to ruin him. If Perot would have got elected and if he truly would have bucked the system like Trump they would have done the same to him. Trump was smarter than Perot because he ran within the existing party structure, he understood you can’t split the parties and expect to win. Running in a third party is and will ALWAYS BE a fool’s errand. The socialist party understood this concept and gave up being a third party and co-opted the democrat party. If you look at what the democrats stand for now it’s what the socialists wanted 20-40 years ago. Co-opting an existing power structure is infinitely more efficient and effective than standing up a new power structure. That’s insurgency 101.
The people who say we must be ‘reasonable’ in our political expectations are suffering from a form of the Stockholm Syndrome and have been mentally beaten into submission. This is exactly what ’They’ want you to believe.
Every time someone says Republicans need to be ‘reasonable’ I think of this quote:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
--Sam Adams
RANT OFF
The truth (as you put it) is that Trump is directly responsible for losing the majority in the Senate (I'll quote from Dr. Wayne Grudem's article) "Losing Republican control of the U.S. Senate by making rash endorsements of weak Republican candidates in several states: Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania all had incumbent Democrat senators who could have been soundly defeated by a reasonably competent Republican candidate in 2022, but Trump foolishly endorsed Blake Masters in Arizona (who had never held any elective office), Herschel Walker in Georgia (whose credibility was repeatedly challenged), and political newcomer Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania. All three states had stronger candidates who would have won the election and would have given Republicans a 53-47 majority in the Senate, but Trump failed to endorse the strong candidates, choosing instead people who agreed with his claim that the election was stolen.. "
Trump is also to blame for having such a slim margin in the House, when we should have had a 30 seat margin (the so called red wave)...simply because of candidates he chose to back soley on their professed belief that he had won the previous election.
The MAGA diehards only represent 30% of all registered voters...fewer moderate republicans , and fewer independent voters will vote for him in 2024 than voted for him in 2020...and he will be a convicted felon at the time of the General Election; that in itself poses multiple problems (the irony of which he will not even be able to cast a ballot for himself).
I will repost the link to the article here if you have not already read it... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...p&cvid=383be704fc0b40d7bb45b272360ce214&ei=14
