Because the modern GOP is absolutely worthless.

The democrats should strongly consider some semblance of a moderate/slightly conservative wing and they would completely end the GOP. They could keep it all under their machine and finally destroy their competition. And if they were able to come to the middle ground, I'd be among them. The Republicans have failed me for the last time.

correct

if widespread fraud in voting and taxation were to go to zero, the dems literally wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell of ever winning anything outside of a few metro areas.

Problem is, Repubs are in on it.

its all a ruse to make you think your donations and votes matter.

Because the left has 1 goal. To weaken the middle class and white america, thus the country as a whole so they can continue gaining power.

The right has too many interests, good and bad, to vote together.

I know Johnson hasn't been perfect by any means... but I can tell you for sure he doesn't want that. There are a lot of forces at play within the GOP Congressional Caucus. You have a large faction of never-Trumper GOPe/uniparty grifters that control Congress. Lots of do-nothing and compromised Republicans need to get primaried by America First candidates in the mid-terms.

He has a razor thin margin. Do you really know what that means?

He is hostage to every swinging dick, conservative or moderate, who wants to have his way on something, regardless of consequences. Same thing happened in Senate when Republicans had a one vote majority but that included McDermott.

You want to see him impose party discipline, ELECT MORE CONSERVATIVES.


This.

Republicans including Trump can't seem to speak for 30 seconds without mentioning Biden or the Democrats.


Dude. The Democrats mentioned Trump every 2 minutes when Biden was President. Dafuq are you talking about? The Biden admin and Democrats have destroyed this nation. It makes sense to point that out to the American people.

Not sure how you could know he doesn't want that.

Just a question. Can you whip someone without a spine? I'm frankly impressed the guy can actually walk.

No he isn't

He's against every populist policy of Trump's
He's also not even close on the foreign policy initiatives Trump and Vance campaigned on
