Where’s all the staunch conservative candidates?

If it’s truly better than MAGA why aren’t there any in our government or on the ballots as an option?

Trump is not a true conservative.

Those people do not actually DO anything. A job offer would absolutely terrify them.

That is not the question. Where are all the "staunch" ones?

When has he or maga ever claimed such? I’m asking about the group on the far right who constantly criticize him why they don’t have an actual movement or any seats in office.

There are maybe 4 in the Senate and 25 in the House. Not enough of them currently to make change.
We need more. Being Dem-lite doesn't work/won't work.

Name the 4 and 25 that don’t have the R tag. Again you guys who complain about RINOs are the RINOs. They have done more work against the right than the left has the last two years.

Doing their best to influence Trump.

Busy being staunch?

I’m a conservative and I’m not on the far right. I support Trump, but cringe when he moves left of when he starts fights about nothing.

MAGA is not quite as MAGA as advertised.

Where are the challengers running to try to help them out? I rarely do anything other than voting for the least worst, which sure as hell is never a democrat.
Just in terms of how he will vote. Paxton is CLEARLY better than Cornyn was and Talarico is.
That is not even CONSIDERED by the whiners here.
Vivek is clearly better than any democrat leftist drunk white woman. That is not considered either.

End of the day Trump is the president of 330 million Americans not a party. I have no problem with him doing what’s best. The bell curve shows the far right and far left are the problem of this country holding back the majority of Americans. Which are led by politicians who make each side the enemy.

Yeah but Vivek ran an ad where Acton’s mother told the truth about her daughter so that means we should have socialism.

They were happy to give us a healthy dose of Bushes, McCain, Romney and had us teed up for yet another Bush (Jeb!) as our “conservative candidates” when voters finally said “Nah, been there, done that” and opted to go in another direction.
They’ve mostly been sulking over in the corner since 2016.

Trump hand picked most of these shitty candidates.

There hasn't actually been a conservative to make it out of the GOP primary in a long time.
Bush - moderate
McCain - moderate
Romney - moderate
Trump - moderate
So yes, conservatives have been sulking in the corner for a long time.

No he didn’t. He did take money for endorsements though, I won’t deny that. Again where are the other options? Stick with the OP dumb dumb.
Also if Trump is only at 30% favorability then his endorsements or picks shouldn’t mean much. So again where are the staunch conservatives?

Hard to get elected when your platform is cutting government spending and power. What wins is throwing money around to various groups and claiming government solves problems.

It is time to come to the realization that the GOP has become nothing but a well funded opposition party. Rattle sabers and give a good soundbite is about all.
