We were told repeatedly that our magic weapon was allowing Vaughn to reduce the size of government, lay off government employees, and take a knife to the whole thing.

However, it's been held up in court. Predictable.

If miscalculate means being stymied by well funded, well connected activists...

The MSM is going to blame the GOP no matter what they do.

They cave every time to protect their re-election efforts.

There is no fight in RINO world.

Hold the line. Memories are short but we can’t let them use this again during midterm elections

Trump's success rate at rhe appellate level, and especially SCOTUS, has been pretty solid.

The culling will happen.

Trump should add to the cuts a full hiring federal hiring freeze and let attrition work for him.

Pataki, the last GOP gov. of NY, did that and it didn't cause any turmoil. When an essential department got short handed due to attrition, people were moved from the non-essential departments to fill the shortage.

You're asking a board that is loyal to trump the man. They don't care about the shutdown. Many on the right have politically been playing checkers at a chess tournament.

The MSMs coverage has been 85% blaming Trump. He needs to bypass them just like he did during the campaign.

They were going to shut it down anyway because Trump was on a roll and it’s all they have to try and tarnish his greatness.

It's not like this is a new thing or unexpected.

So how is the appeal going?

The party in power will almost always get the blame.

It was inevitable that the PR would not favor the GOP. The GOP messaging over this is poor.

They need to ramp up a PR war or give it up.

The recent election victories showed the DSA( formally known as the DNC) that they are winning. They will not stop until the take control of both houses in Congress (next year) and the White House in 2028. Then it’s over.

History will ask: Didn’t Americans not remember the history books? Like Hitler in Germany or Castro in Cuba?


If you think I’m wrong please provide the pathway for the GOP to come together, man up and take this country back.

I’ll wait.
