That’s exactly where the GOP is heading because that’s where the very concerned about GOP success democrats say they need to go.

Listening to your opponent thinking they have your best interests in mind is stupid.

Job creation and a great economy. Focusing on small businesses.

The amnesty part was dumb but it was done in good faith with democrats (when they were reasonable)that future illegal immigration would be enforced. Defense spending back then is way different now. Back then it was about air missile defense systems, ICBM’s and subs.

It will be. There is no escape. Bushies lining up their next wave of fricking frauds.

It’s true. The ronbots that call MAGA a cult crack me up.

We all (at least I do) like Ron. I think he would do a great job, but let’s not fool ourselves and pretend the Dems are RINOs and just going to play nice with him because he’s not Trump.

They all forget what the GOPe did to the Tea Party.

If people think white men suddenly dumped Trump for Talatranny, Muslim Brotherhood Abdul, AOC, Hochul, etc, then they are complete morons. This was the most corrupt election in the history of elections. And if white men don't push back now and demand investigations, they'll never see another Republican win the Presidency or any major seat ever again. The dems have been given the go sign to run every election going forward.

That’s why I asked OP to define populism without using Trump and he still hasn’t. Like it or not every candidate is a populist and always has been. That doesn’t mean people don’t have individual and political beliefs, populism is only one part of a candidate.

I think what happened is promises were made and not kept. The do nothing Congress had as much or more to do with the disaster as anything else.

They fought Trump at every turn, especially the Senate. Hell he couldn't even get all his nominees. I fault Trump for not fighting harder. He caved on too much.

I would think the problem is the opposite. In Florida very few hard core republicans wanted Donald’s . So they didn’t seem nearly as active as normal to support Donald’s . Maybe the wax the issue everywhere . Plus you have fake or butt hurt republicans like Bobby Willam’s and Fishback who supported the democrat candidate.

What is so frustrating today is that no one seems to want to look at cause and affect, past policies followed by corrective policies. If you only docis on current policies and problems, you excuse the past errors and are destined to repeat them, or you enter a state of constant fixes of bad policy after bad policy.

You have to go back to the foundation of the issues and rebuild from there.

No more McCain/Romney types and no more MAGA RINO populists.

Define a hardcore Republican. Because a hardcore republican wouldn’t want the Dems to win. And yeah Fishback is a fricking moron

That GOP will force another Romney/McCain candidate in 2028.

It should be clear to everyone that the Republican Party does not like being in control and when they are forced to accept a president that takes charge they fold their hands and refuse to work with him.

There’s no way out of this style of government. No one who manages to get elected that opposes the Republican model will ever get support from the GOP. On anything.

Yeah, lets vote to where the DIMs gain huge majorities. Thats the ticket. Stay home or vote against your party leader. That will teach Trump the next time he runs

Young white males are are the reason white females have gotten so much control in DC. A bunch of unserious, hands out, effeminate types

The problem isnt who we elect. Its us. Not enough of us are highly skilled. Many cant pass a drug test. A majority are out of shape. Our education system has made 2 generations of our youth delinquent in math and science and a majority guided only by their feelings.
There are still many brilliant and industrious young Americans. But, across averages, we are weak and incompetent. Sorry, truth hurts sometimes.
