There’s the issue here. Seems a simple one to resolve, no?

The GOP candidates that are on the campaign trail with CRs as their top agenda item will surely win the SPF vote.

Extremely concise, bravo.
Gaetz should hammer this over the coming SOH battles. "Were you sent here because you promised to continue to increase the debt through kneejerk passing of CRs or were you sent here to cut spending enough to eventually begin paying down the debt?
Any attempt to caveat that question or re-state it in order to allow other choices is simply to engage in more of the smoke and mirrors gimmicks that have put us over $33 trillion into debt and has no sign nor plan to do anything but make that even worse.
I was sent here by my voters to cut spending enough to eventually begin paying down the debt and I am proving that now. Anyone not doing so is proving only that they are only for more accounting gimmicks and flowery language instead of facing the stark reality which they were elected to face."

So let's assume Gaetz can get his SOH in.
What can they actually do, in reality? Then spell out how to get the Democrat Senate and Presidency to go along with this plan.

The fact that you can't envision a workable strategy isn't surprising. You couldn't envision a successful motion to vacate.

I'm asking for the MAGA strategy.
Your implication that I don't have one is illogical.

I never thought Gaetz would sell out to the DEMs, no. You're right.

You have made multiple posts claiming that the constituents want the CRs, and the Republicans are only doing what their voters want.

Are you assuming the Dems will allow the shutdown to go on indefinitely?

I did say this. The GOP has to work within the system and voters want stability and moderate leadership.
The DEMs will gladly pass a budget. You won't like it, though. Do you want the GOP to agree with that budget so you get the symbolic victory of muh budget, or do you prefer preventing a DEM-led budget and stripping away their power/spending via CR?
Because there isn't a 3rd option right now.

They won't have to. The DEMS always win the shutdown staredowns. Always.
They get what they want and make the GOP look like extremists who almost denied grandma her SS

Which GOP “leader” has actually come out and said “NONE of us ran on implementing more continuing resolutions, and this is our line in the sand. We will submit budgets and if the Senate and President want to shut them down, all consequences are on them.”?
Who’s even half-assed tried it? Ask yourself, why not.

You're not asking for anything. You are post hoc justifying your lack of vision.
The solution would look like what just happened. Using minority rights to get the outcome you desire from the other chamber. The same thing every divided chamber does to get to its priorities. You act like this is unknown to continue your obstinance.

Explain how you get the DEMs on board with a GOP-friendly budget. Start with the House. Then the Senate. Then Biden.

No one can do that. They can just point to your post where you said that Mccarthy had 95% of his caucus and at least that of the caucuses constituents. The conclusion logically follows from that statement. Don't blame others for your lack of precision.

Cut the spending.
Secure the border.
You know where.

Maybe not in that extremely specific verbiage, but you and I had the following exchange:
Bjorn Cyborg: Not continuing the CR nonsense year after year should not even be a controversial stance
SFP: It is for the vast majority of the population. It will take a long time and a great educational program to flip the tens of millions of voters you need to accomplish this goal.
Bjorn Cyborg: If the Republican leadership would actually do their jobs, (getting rid of CRs) would be an easy sell to their caucus and their constituents.
SFP: Naw. There is a reason those constituents keep sending them to DC. The voters are largely happy with the status quo.
