Seems after the election, Republicans were riding high; they controlled everything; however, nothing has been passed because certain Republicans have been voting against bills. Now they are losing ground in certain states. Is this something to be concerned about?

John Thune is Not moving the ball forward. And he somehow has cover.

Republicans were setup for generational sweeping changes to America, but like always, we pissed it away.

Dems will retake control of the government at some point through their cheating, and we're all absolutely fricked after that.

Thune and the Rinos killed all of the momentum, just like they did in 2016/2017. If they actually fought for the right, we’d fight for them. However, there is a uniparty and we are seeing this.
Trump has proven that if we had representatives that fought for us, we’d crawl through glass to get them elected. There is only 1 enemy to the Republican Party and that’s the Rinos.

I’m sick and tired of reading this crap. Republicans are worthless. Get it through your thick heads. They don’t want the majority. They want demorats to have power. They can raise money on it.

I don’t know how they can live with themselves. Really.

How did socialist governments in South America flip to conservative? It can happen. It requires new and younger politicians with new ideas.
For instance in Texas, Brandon Gill should be running for senator instead of the septuagenarian Cornyn and the ethically compromised Paxton.

In DC, the Republican Party does not really exist. They stand for nothing other than personal enrichment.

The Democrat Party is filled with Loons.

Trump is neither, he’s just a symptom of the current state of our country.

We, as an electorate, don’t place enough importance on Primaries.

Thst would solve a lot of rino issues.

The states are balkanizing. That favors Republicans. The 2030 census is going to make the path to the presidency and Senate control about 10x times easier for Republicans.

Capital outflow from blue states to red states is massive. Republican states are going to have ample opportunity to gerrymander districts favorably in 2032.

Demographics are the only play Dems have and with a robust and continuing ability to prevent illegal immigration, the birth rates and older age of dem voting blocks decreases.

Finally, voter registration in arizona, and other swing states is increasingly Republican while Dems drop off. Indies are a large group, though.

To answer your question, no, Republicans are not screwed. What needs to be done is post trump there needs to be a large group of RINOs that get primaried relentlessly.

The filibuster should have been gone. If the Dems ever gained the trifecta again, which may not happen, they'll kill it immediately.

The senate leadership should be culled. There is a litany of pro American legislation that could have been passed and they sit on it because they are trying to stall out MAGA and right wing policy. That's the battle. Let the dem states destroy themselves. Worry about getting the Republicans all on the same page.

South dakota is a small state. They shouldn't have a problem grassrooting Thune.

It's just incompetence. Starts at the top.
Having a president that demands loyalty and law makers that can't think for themselves is bad for business.

Wrong question. You should be asking if actual Americans are screwed moving forward.

Emphasized. Enough with the 80 year old, psychologically broken, senile, carpetbaggers from the Northeast with one foot in the grave. I am 61 and know my fastball is nowhere near what it used to be. I can't imagine how fricked up my mind will be 19 years from now.
