The New Republican Guard

Seriously doubt even the Republicans will miss the mark with this GIFT of a smoking gun.

Getting the Hunter Biden laptop will ultimately change the Dems guard instantly, and even if they hold the House but Biden loses.

The laptop story is not important.

The 2020 election has been decided.

The republicans need to change.

Famous last words. Evidence links Joe Biden to pay offs, no way around that now.

This is interesting.

To your mind, how do Republicans need to change, and why?

I added to it.

It is irrelevant. The 2020 elections have been decided. Biden is only a placeholder anyway. If he wins, he won’t be impeached no matter what is on the laptop.

If he loses, he won’t run again.

There will always be a high enough percentage of Trumpism devotees to make it a possibility. That family is like the Kardashians of politics - they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Because the world is changing. And faster.

There is a huge demographic out wandering around lost. There for the embracing. It’s called “Most Americans”. They’ve made very clear what is important to them, what they expect from government. Nobody is listening.

Trump did some, but his personality and baggage drowned it out.

Principles and fundamentals are important, the GOP focuses on tactics and tricks.

I agree this is Biden’s last rodeo regardless of outcome.

That being said, just not sure how you seem confident in outcome as predetermined?

After all, upwards of 100 million people may still yet physically or mail vote in between now and Nov 3rd.

This is a good reply that cuts through most of the partisan noise in the public sphere today.

Thank you.

No. The “I’m not a politician” gambit doesn’t work when you are in politics. I’m not saying they won’t form “exploratory committees”. I’m saying they can’t get elected dog catcher.

What Republican would give one of them a cabinet position?

Ivanka might could run for Rep or Senator from NY. That’s it.

Trump got an unique opportunity with this pandemic to reach millions and millions of people he would of never otherwise been able to speak with because of the mighty adversaries in the mass media.

He message of optimism and pride to be an American is uplifting more than maybe many might realize.

We will see for sure shortly.

I’m not confident in the outcome. I have no idea what the outcome will be. I know the process is complete. I also know that whatever the outcome, this phase of American politics is over. Trump can’t go again (22nd) and Biden will be lucky to last one term.

Either way the 80 year-olds are done.

And drowned every good thing he did in a sea of bull ■■■■■

That same argument was levied against Trump himself prior to 2016. It’s not common but he has proved in the right set of conditions lightning can strike.

If a principled Republican’s base threatens his job security that same Republican will meekly line up behind the worst, most implausible personality available, throwing principles right out the window. Exhibit A: Ted Cruz.

Yes, Democrats are no different.

Trump utterly bungled responding to the pandemic, and if he loses in two weeks it will be due in no small part because of that.

I imagine Trump will work it even harder if re-elected for a 2nd term.

History may still look at his overall Presidential legacy very kindly when it is all said and done.

Mitch McConnell is 78 years old. When he gets reelected, he will be 84 years old at the end of his next term.

Feinstein is already 87.

Graham is only 65, but he has the mindset of 75.

What the hell do these people know about this world?

Who will the GOP run for President in 2024? If they are 50 but talk like 80, they’ll lose.

It is time for the GOP to move forward - while maintaining the fundamentals and principles. That is conservatism.

Limited government - while subpoena are being issued for for ■■■■■■■ Twitter? COME ON!

Ban TicToc? COME ON!

On what limited government, Constitution-loving basis is weed illegal? COME ON!

On what limited government, Constitution-loving basis is homosexual marriage illegal? COME ON!

I don’t discuss abortion much, it aggravates me. But on what limited government, Constitution-loving basis is it illegal? COME ON! Now government funding is different. At central government level. At the state level, what authority does Centgov have to tell a state they can’t subsidize it? COME ON!

The republicans are every bit as much big government as dems.

If the GOP legalizes weed, stops ■■■■■■■ with the homosexuals, stops pretending they are going to make abortion illegal, how do they ever lose again?

Immigration - nobody is going to deport DACA people. Nobody. They need to be made citizens and it doesn’t need to take 5 more years to do it. We have the most bureaucratic, ■■■■■■ up immigration process I’ve ever seen. GOP makes even a micro improvement and get DACA out of limbo, how do they lose?

Judge Barrett did a great job of modeling “not my lane”. The Centgov GOP needs to do the same. If California wants to let illegals take entry level jobs from the black nation, let them. If the black nation doesn’t like it, they can vote them out.

The GOP needs to focus on turning the people who are actually here into republicans instead of trying to keep people who aren’t (yet) out. They’re going to come no matter what anyone does.

If they come here as adults and behave for 5 years, make them citizens. If they commit a crime, deport them then. We have no moral authority to deport DACA with the ■■■■■■ up system we have.

Always look to cut spending and taxes. Stop endless wars. Stop government overreach.

Fundamentals and principles grounded in the reality of the situation on the ground.

Maybe. And he will still drown it in a sea of bull ■■■■■ He’s a wrecking ball, not a governor.

Dam good post! That could turn me into a Republican.

Damn, Sneaky. Well said.

The GOP follows thru with even half of that and I would return to the fold.
