Republican politicians don't want to do anything but run to their donors with open palms telling them how mean the democrats are.

They have no intention of leading.

In all honesty I could live with this, if (and a big IF) DC statehood included the land DC gave back to Virginia. This would result in Virginia losing a significant portion its deep blue northern counties. PR would not be as deeply blue as people assume it would be based on the reaction of San Juan’s major after Maria.

But honestly the answer to DC statehood is to shrink the federal district to just the WH, Capitol, and area around the mall between them (the population here is negligible), and give the rest back to Maryland.

The physical seats of the branches of government do not need to be inside any state.

A good many establishment Republican politicians want the Democrat to win - truth be told. They just can’t come out and say it.

They need to go after Kamala far more than they have been, and even more than Joe Biden. Just dismiss Biden as senile from now on and take a flamethrower to her.




You know exactly why they can’t do this.

Because she’s a black woman


The GOP would drown in negative media. Every media outlet in the United States and Europe would talk about nothing except racist Trump every day and every time he addressed Harris.

It is far better to continue drawing attention to the fact that the top of the Democratic ticket is a man suffering from early onset dementia And deteriorating more each day.

The Dems are praying that the GOP will elevate Harris by making this about her.

If the Repubs lose this time it's all over. The lunatic Marxists will rewrite all the rules and install left wing courts to consolidate power.

He's gone after Obama and Hillary Clinton. Not to mention how often has he gone after Maxine Waters and Ilhan Omar? Sorry, don't buy it. Show some fricking balls. Kamala is just awful.

Neither one of these individuals is a black woman.

Yes you do. You know exactly what I’m talking about and you know this is exactly why the RNC isn’t going scorched earth on her. Every single day would be a revolving door of news stories about how they are picking on the black woman.

Well duh. I agree with you, in that it’s what they SHOULD do in an ideal world. But this thread is about Republican politicians in real life

The rest of the party would be excoriated and they would shrivel up immediately. Trump would be left at the altar.

WHAT a bunch of backward thinking dolts. 

You backed a bankruptcy artist, that talks tough but hid out the war of his youth behind a trumped up medical condition, while lollygagging at a college he wasn't smart enough to get into because of his daddies dollars. Dollars that he promptly lost to the tune of million or so... trying to do things his way. Which ultimately happened so frequently that banks of his own country wouldn't lend him any longer. 

So.... 

... he went offshore to start his defrauding all over again in far away lands. So how MAGA was he? And has he ever truly been? 

And since in office... 

... he's rounded himself with either the lowlife scoundrels that remain or driven off guys with the back bone to tell him the truth. The justice department would be investigating a sitting President if not for Barr, his personal protector, blocking their every attempt. And the courts just waiting for him to leave office... bidding their time... because they won't risk the prosecution of a wrong doing President. 

And when any of this, or his science denying, or his violations of tax laws, or his sexual misdeeds, or his emoluments clause missteps are mentioned in prominent news circles.... ya'll baws cry fake...fake... fake.... and melt... melt ..melt into each others arms. 

What a weak arse bunch of snowflakes.... who dare call themselves men.... and will undoubtedly but wrongly consider themselves right of me... but are not right of me... nor right about what's fake... nor of right mind.


I've never ONCE used this word on here, but that sir was a fricking MELT

Do you feel better? I don't think you can call anybody else a 'snowflake' after that little diatribe

I don't know that, and who cares? Personally I think sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the more the media shows this loathsome authoritarian twat the more people will realize who she is.

He goes after Omar and Maxine all the damn time. That attack on Trump just isn't going to work.

I was thinking about responding to his melt, but then decided I didn't want to be responsible for some poor dog being kicked or an incident at his Walmart.

They're scared bc they are just as corrupt. Swamp runs deep and none are innocent.

The few who might be honorable can't do it by themselves.

We desperately need a third party in this country free from the special interest ties that bind Republicans and Democrats in DC. A party dedicated to ousting career politicians in favor of true community leaders.


Luke Letlow has raised over 570K for the open 5th district seat. 2 other candidates have raised over 100K. This was as of July 4th, so I'm sure those numbers have gone up since then.

This is for a relatively rural district.

You can't raise that kind of money, without being bound to special interests.

That wasn't a melt.

It was a too long ridicule of those threatening to go full scorched earth.

A melt is what you did afterward.

Many Republicans hate Trump as much as the Dems. This isn't going to happen. He is on his own fighting a two front war.
