Why can't Republicans unite?

Because mittens romney type people exist who vote with democrats more than republicans and some how republicans support that

Because their leadership are establishment, elitist, globalist.

They have no problem with Democrats in charge instead of any populist movement.

Anyone that sees what's currently going on as just another round of Dems vs Reps, conservatives vs liberals, left vs right is outdated in their thinking.

This is about the elitist, globalist ruling class vs the nationalist, populist, working class.

Because the party has absolutely zero leadership.

There are also people who believe the drama goes away with Trump.

Because there are RINOs on the dem payroll...

Two reasons.

1. The base has abandoned conservative principles in favor of populism.

2. The base believes in every dumb-arse conspiracy theory any Tucker Carlson-like idiot dangles in front of them.

#2 is the fault of the Leftist Propaganda Triad. The media, academia, and the entertainment industry. The Republican base has been gaslighted so consistently for so long by them and their spin and their lies that I understand completely losing trust in mainstream sources. I understand buying into idiotic conspiracy theories a bit less.

#1 is all on the base, however.

Money.

Maybe the base is tired of being told by GOP politicians that if we would just vote to put them in power, they would start fixing problems. They had their chances for the first 2 years of Trump to fix health care, reform taxes and secure the border. Yet the leadership did everything they could to stall and undermine the administration because Trump was not in their club.

frick the GOP leadership.

The GOP has the House now. What have they really done besides cave to the other side?

It's not the base that ditched conservatism. It's the GOP leadership that have done that. It's a huge reason why Trump has gained so much support over the years. He capitalized on and exposed GOP leadership.

Republicans prefer saying they are against something yet they never come up with an alternative.

In Trump's first 2 years, he had the House and the Senate. The big thing was to replace Obamacare but they had nothing to replace it with, basically said just repeal it first and GOP will come up with something to replace it and you will love it. Trump even said to expect a great plan in 2 weeks. Never happened.

Infrastructure needs, nothing major happened with Trump. Biden comes in with Pelosi as speaker and Democrats pass a huge infrastructure bill. Funny thing happens, GOP congressmen who voted against it start telling their people in their districts "Look what I got for you."

Democrats lose control of House, GOP unable to even elect a speaker. Face it, GOP prefers getting contributions just because they like to say no. Yet when it comes to creating something that might work, they simply are unable to do it. They are truly the party of NO.

He tried to operate a big tent. He thought he could somewhat unite the factions within the party, while pulling in private sector leaders from outside of DC in. It seemed to work early on.

Where he fricked up was thinking that the GOPe would stand with him once the Dems drew first blood. Instead they stabbed him in the back.

If he makes that mistake again, he deserves his fate.
