GOP Voters Don't Want Mike Pence's Republican Party

Framing the Indiana primary victories as ‘retribution’ from President Trump is all wrong. Voters side with Trump when he sides with us.

It’s not about Trump’s personality. It’s not about counter-culture MAGA hats to “own the libs.” It’s about what Trump delivers for voters. Drake and her ally O’Brien won big margins without a Trump endorsement, because voters trust they’ll do the same thing Trump does: deliver prudent, bold conservative policy wins.
These primaries were a proxy war between different wings of the state Republican Party. Trump, Banks, Rokita, Braun, TPUSA, and the Senate primary challengers represented its insurgent conservative wing. The primary losers represent the “establishment” that knifes conservative priorities like it’s their only reason for existing (besides getting kickbacks from big business). In short, the Indiana primaries were a wipeout for the Mike Pence wing of the Indiana Republican Party.

The part of the Republican Party that can’t deflect devastating changes to Virginia’s state constitution, pass the SAVE Act in Congress, deliver trustworthy elections at the state level, back mass deportations, rein in predatory big businesses, get its attention away from foreign wars that drive inflation, impeach corrupt judges, and enact mass firings of administrative state bureaucrats better take notice. Voters like Trump, not because of his hair or sometimes-embarrassing comments, but because he’s changing how the Republican Party does business.

Trump is not a conservative.
But he has governed as one more than any Republican president with the exception of Coolodge

I’ve read a few interviews of this Buck guy.
He sounds like a nice guy, a good man…but someone who just doesn’t understand the fight we are in.
He’s been in that Statehouses comfortably for decades.

Mike Pence's Republican Party
A party that caves on everything? No thanks
I’m astounded that after the SCOTUS hands the GOP the House for many years to come, the ball-less establishment incumbents won’t initiate redistricting to take advantage of it. Almost like they don’t consider the Dems to be opposition.

Of course it is. People vote for Trump because he at least tries to get things done, even with RINOs and Dems trying to hamstring him at every turn.
The majority of the modern Republican party seems content to sit on their arse & waste time. They are the opposite of Trump. They sit still while the world moves forward. The "retribution" is voters voting for people that get shite done instead of the current clown show. People are tired of it & they're using their votes to show how they feel. That's how things are supposed to work lol.
All the hemming & hawing is just these guys being sore losers. Hopefully some of them will listen to the people they claimed to represent, reflect, and do better next time

So Trump ran and won in 2016, proving that Republican Voters chose him. They chose him as the undisputed GOP leader. So he's the face and the leader of the GOP from 2016-2020.
By fast growing accounts, it's looking more and more like the 2020 election was completely fricked. There's more accounts of fraud that are coming in all the time, thanks to the DOJ and FBI continuously investigating. So whether he truly lost or would have won by a slim amount should always be disputed. But either way, it's clear that he was still the undisputed face of the GOP.
Then during Biden's entire term, the Dems fought him retroactively. Doing everything they could to take him off the board but he kept coming back. Over and over again. Some GOP opportunists thought he was wounded enough that they'd make a run but that failed. Instead he won - absolutely shocking the world but he was chosen by the GOP and ultimately by the country. Still.. no question. He is the leader of the GOP.
All this to say... How can ANYONE with a fricking brain think for one second that Trump is not the lone, single face of the Republican Party? It's impossible to question at this point. And anyone who thinks they can somehow usurp him from it is grifting for traitor campaign money and has no chance.
Trump IS the GOP. And he will remain THE GOP all the way until 2028. And you can believe this or not. He will likely be the definitive GOP kingmaker until he leaves the surly bonds of Earth.
Sorry haters. He is your uncontestable GOP king.

Getting your arse kicked is not about someone else's "revenge & retribution." It may be about losing due to inflaming the opposition, but that is on he who inflamed, not he who responded.

True. But people need to realize that there are only 2 party factions in today's world.
Globalists and Nationalists.
The entire Democratic Party has sold out to Globalism along with the RINO's like Pence. Yes, those 2 parties still exist, but ultimately we are choosing those who want American Exceptionalism first over everything (Nationalists) versus those who want the US to move into a one world controlled governing body (Globalists) like all the EU countries fall under.
WEF is not just a think tank.
