At the end of the day KY should not have been close with regards to Biden's popularity. It is time we nominate candidates that have a strong conviction to change the direction of the country. I love DJT's montra but we need a Margaret Thatcher type that will fundamentally kick the establishment in the balls to get their shite together... Christ how i miss the Thatcher Reagan days.

Yep, but unfortunately many GOP primary voters are retarded and have a fetish for losing. They cost us numerous swing races last year by nominating truly awful candidates.

Kari Lake
Blake Masters
Mark Finchem
Abe Hamadeh
Tudor Dixon
John Gibbs
Herschel Walker
Doug Mastriano
Dr. Oz
Don Bolduc
Karoline Leavitt
Tim Michels
Jim Marchant

That was just a few

They haven't learned their lesson from 2022 and are prepared to go full retard in 2024. For some strange reason, they continue to embrace and vote for previous General Election losers and shite General Election candidates.

too late... seen... but your point was made...

All other issues seen to just go by the wayside... Inflation, Gas Prices, Labor Shortages, Cost of Goods, Food Prices, War Mongering, all small potatoes to women's rights.

You can get past that if the candidate isn't a train wreck. We saw that last year with Kemp, DeSantis, DeWine, Abbott, etc.

I voted for Trump twice and will again if he’s the nominee, but he creates a singular target for the dems to give the boogeyman treatment to. He may be able to beat Biden, but dems are better at demonizing trump than reps are at demonizing biden.

Are you surprised that the incumbent won? He was supposed to.

I do see your point... But I also see open borders as huge factor... Thats millions of soon to be regestered D voters. Plus Women hung up on Abortion. Then your have woke women. Then you have woke men.

Know why high food prices don't bother people? Snap from the gubment.
Know why high Gas doesn't bother people. No job equals no daily cross town commute.

Democrats are buying votes. Their Slogan is: The greatest threat to Democracy.

Republican slogan: I can't even think of one...

I would say that you are correct, But I have a great fear that we are a lost country at this point and more kids want to vote for Free Stuff and party and play video games, than work for a new house and have a family.

Well, MTG did manage to pass a bill that reduces Pete Buttigeg salary to $1. Of course it will never pass the Senate, but she's out their doing all the important stuff. This, and the Gaetz stunt show why the MAGA wing of the party will never be taken seriously.

The republicans biggest problem is infighting. There are not enough conservatives to win in many of these states therefore you have to moderate somewhat. Unfortunately, many conservatives are turned off by this and won’t show for election. The flip side is you go with a true conservative in some of these states and they get stomped because centrist reps stay home.

Here’s the deal: the 1980s is when everything started to go wrong. That’s when wages stagnated even while productivity rose. All the gains were siphoned by equity. That’s when income inequality and the deindustrialization/financialization of the economy ramped up. In 1986, the vaccine companies were granted immunity, and in 1990 the autism rate started skyrocketing. Prozac (aka fluoride) hit the market and began the antidepressant scourge. The 1980s is when the globalists captured the consensus. It’s when the Dems abandoned the working class and began morphing into the party of the coastal elite, while the Reps continued to serve corporate interests.

MAGA is and was a response to all that insanity and decay, even though many in the movement aren’t even aware of that. The populist uprising is a manifestation of the discontent that developed over 40+ years. And it’s grievances will not be addressed by returning to the type of people who started all of it.

There will be no return to whatever you perceive as normal. The days of empty suits with good haircuts reading platitudes from a teleprompter while serving the interests of international bankers are nearing the end. We are not in Kansas anymore.

The Republicans biggest problem isn't infighting or bad candidates. Those are problems. Putting up Trump as the leader is a problem too.

But the biggest problem is that committed conservative/traditional minded Americans are a dying breed. And many who have or should have some affinity for our beliefs are just as immersed in the stupidity of our culture as their leftist equivalent, and they'll ultimately cease to defend our way of life as it becomes more and more at odds with their cultural interests/commitments.

If you want to see what's genuinely standing in our way, look next door or across the street (often, it's probably both). They may not hate you yet, but if not, they probably support people who do.

Extremists have an outsize influence on primary elections.

Michels said he was against abortion in all cases. In Wisconsin which is fairly evenly divided.

He lost against a very beatable sitting democrat governor.

Same with the State supreme court. Abortion extremist wins primary only to get smoked in the general, giving control of the court to the prog filth.
