Good day all. The 2022 midterms should have been a Democrat bloodbath. That it wasn’t, especially in the Senate can be laid at the feet of people like Cocaine Mitch McConnell. He pulled funding from candidates he perceived to be a threat to his power, and backed his friends who would keep him as the GOP minority leader.
McConnell and other Establishment Republicans despise the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump and all the people who supported and support him. They don’t really like their own constituents very much either. Now they are getting worried that the Ultra MAGA Deplorables are gaining the upper hand in the GOP. Here are the details from The Hill:
Republican senators say they’re worried that conservative populism, though always a part of the GOP, is beginning to take over the party, becoming more radical and threatening to cause them significant political problems heading into the 2024 election.
In other words, the GOP base has had it with these liars, frauds and phonies.
GOP senators are saying they’re being increasingly confronted by constituents who buy into discredited conspiracy theories such as the claim that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election or that federal agents incited the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Of course, there is the little problem that more and more information is coming out that, rather then disprove the “Conspiracy theories” actually proves them out.
Growing distrust with government institutions, from the FBI, CIA and Department of Justice to the Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health, make it more difficult for Republican lawmakers to govern.
Gee, I wonder why people distrust those organizations? Could it be that they have been flat out lying to the American people as well as actively suppressing their rights? Naa, that can’t be it.
Republican senators believe their party has a good chance to take back control of the White House and Senate, given President Biden’s low approval ratings and the favorable map of Senate seats up for reelection, but they regularly face political headaches caused by populist members of their party who say the rest of the GOP is out of step with mainstream America.
Which they are. These RINO and TransRepublican Yabos spend all their time on the Beltway cocktail circuit and as little time as possible in the states they represent, (allegedly), and speaking with the people who elected them. When they do go back, they show nothing but contempt for their constituents. Texas Senator John Cornyn is a classic case. He pushed a gun control bill that no one in Texas wanted, and when confronted, he basically told the voters that he knew more then they did and should just shut up.
“We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I’m having more ‘rational Republicans’ coming up to me and saying, ‘I just don’t know how long I can stay in this party,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). “Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.
Murkowsky is another classic TransRepublican. The only reason she’s still in office is due to political tricks she played in 2010 and having her cronies rig the system with that bogus Ranked Choice nonsense. Murkowski’s contempt for Alaska and the people she’s supposed to represent is well known. That she is threatening to leave the GOP because the peons and serfs dare to question her speaks volumes.
“You have people who felt some allegiance to the party that are now really questioning, ‘Why am I [in the party?]” she added. “I think it’s going to get even more interesting as we move closer to the elections and we start going through some of these primary debates.
That’s a very good question. Why are you calling yourselves conservative Republicans when you’re actually Progressive big government statists and one world globalists? Your goals are not those of the people you claim to support.
“Is it going to be a situation of who can be more outlandish than the other?” she asked.
Define outlandish you worthless RINO hag.
Some Senate Republicans worry the populist winds are downgrading their chances of picking up seats in 2024.
“There are an astonishing number of people in my state who believe the election was stolen,” said one Republican senator who requested anonymity to talk about the growing popularity of conservative conspiracy theories at home.
Gee, I wonder why this loser requested anonymity? Could it be that he is worried that if the voters found out that he considers them to be nothing more than ignorant conspiracy theorists, they might decide to not vote for him?
As an example, some Republicans point to Arizona, where Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), an independent who left the Democratic Party last year, is up for reelection.
Sinema is likely to face a challenge from the left in the likely Democratic nominee Rep. Ruben Gallego (Ariz.) as well as a GOP nominee. If that nominee is former TV anchor Kari Lake, who has embraced conspiracy theories about elections and lost a gubernatorial race last year, many in the GOP think they’re in trouble.
If you want a conspiracy theory, how about the fact that several counties were reporting issues with their vote count, (I’m excluding the disaster known as Maricopa County), and were flat out threatened by the then secretary of state and now governor with arrest if they didn’t name her as the winner?
One senior Senate Republican strategist, assessing the race, lamented that “the Republican Party in Arizona is a mess.”
For which we can thank the late and unlamented John “Fireball” McCain. Maricopa County is considered, at best, run by incompetent morons and at worst, corrupt political hacks who intentionally rig elections to keep the MAGA Deplorables from winning.
Republican senators say they are alarmed at how many Republicans, including those with higher levels of education and income, buy the unsubstantiated claims that the last presidential election was stolen.
It’s because of those “Higher levels of education” that they think the 2020 election was stolen. They’re running the numbers as it were and can’t figure out where all the extra Biden voters came from. Then they saw ballots show up that had only Biden selected on it, with the down ticket elections left blank. There was so much smoke that people wanted to find out if there was a fire. Instead, the Deep State Uniparty shut it all down.
A second Republican senator who spoke with The Hill said the growing strength of radical populism “makes it a lot more difficult to govern, it makes it difficult to talk to constituents.”
“There are people who surprise me — I’m surprised they have those views. It’s amazing to me the number of people, the kind of people who think the election was stolen,” the lawmaker said. “I don’t want to use this word but it’s not just a ‘red-neck’ thing. It’s people in business, the president of a bank, a doctor.”
The problem here is that this RINO has spent so much time inside the Beltway, (And the Hill never identifies him or her, and for good reason. This person will be primaried), and you have lost touch with what your constituents are having to deal with.
GOP senators also have to regularly distance themselves from the radical proposals of populist conservatives in the House, such as House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who earlier this year proposed cutting Department of Justice and FBI funding in response to federal investigations of Trump.
Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) pushed back on calls to defund the Justice Department, telling reporters: “Are we going to get rid of the Justice Department? No. I think defunding is a really bad idea.”
South Dakota is stuck with this RINO until 2026. He’s another one who has completely missed what is going on outside of the Beltway. People are seeing what is happening with the DoJ and the FBI and they want it stopped. Instead, Thune is showing that he is fully on board with the Deep State Uniparty’s turning the FBI into the American Gestapo.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), an advisor to the Senate Republican leadership, said bread-and-butter conservative economic ideas still resonated with voters, but he acknowledged “the cable news shows” continue to keep attention on themes that Trump likes to emphasize, such as election fraud and the “deep-state” control of the federal government.
“So there are some people paying attention to that but most people are trying to just get on with their lives,” he said. “There’s a lot of distrust of Washington, and who can blame people.”
“It concerns me that people lose faith in their institutions, but this has been a long story throughout our history. It’s nothing new although it’s troubling,” he said.
Cornyn is another RINO idiot. He helped push through a Biden anti-Second Amendment bill, and when he was confronted by his constituents, basically told them to shut up and do as he told them, and that they are to stupid to know what’s good for them. He’s another one they won’t be able to get rid of until 2026.
Romney, who was the GOP nominee for president in 2012 before Trump took over the party four years later, last year called Greene and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) “morons” for speaking at a white nationalist event in Florida.
Asked this week about Tuberville’s defense of white nationalism and how it reflected on the GOP, Romney said: “Our party has lots of problems, add that to the list.”
One of the problems with the Republican Party is Mitt Romney. He is the one I chose as the definition of “TransRepublican.” He identifies as a Republican, but he’s actually a Democrat. The good news is that he is up for reelection in 2024 and the people of Utah have seen him for what he is. A lying, two-faced back stabbing weasel. The question now is will he run for reelection or repeat what he did as governor and bravely run away?
Recently, there was a story in Newsmax about one of the RINO sisters, (The RINO sisters are Murkowski from Alaska and Smith from Maine), and who should support in 2024.
Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Thursday she would have “no qualms” about voting for a Democrat in the 2024 election, but one with a surname of Manchin, not Biden.
In an interview with PBS’ Margaret Hoover on “Firing Line,” Murkowski was incredulous about the prospects of a sequel between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in 2024.
“If we go into a 2024 scenario where it’s basically a redo of 2020 between Trump and Biden, what does that say?” Murkowski told Hoover. “That we have nobody better than these two? And so, an independent or somebody who’s offering something in the middle, people are hungry for that.”
Moments later, she said, “If it’s a matchup between Biden and Trump, I know exactly where I’d go. I would go with Joe Manchin. I am one who doesn’t like to use my vote for the lesser of two evils. I want to be proactive in who I think could do the job.”
Joe Manchin is a two term loser senator from West Virginia. His antics in the last few years have finally soured the voters in West Virginia and they are ready to dump him. There has been talk that he might run for president under the No Labels Party. This is what that Murkowski is talking about. She will continue with the RINO Neocon voting record of not supporting the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump no matter what.
One of the biggest mistakes made, in my opinion, was the ratification of the 17th Amendment. This allowed the direct election of Senators. Prior to that, the State Legislatures selected who was going to be the Senators from their state. Thanks to this we now have people like Thune, Murkowski and McConnell, who only think of themselves and could not care less what the voters or their states might actually want.
Perhaps we need to repeal and replace the 17th Amendment. Restore the selection process to the legislatures, and they can decide if a senator should be directly elected or not. I wold also add term limits and some sort of recall mechanism to deal with scum and vermin like Murkowski, Thune, Manchin and McConnell.
