GOP split

Yep this has nothing to do with Republican policy this is all about supporting Trump and the big lie over the election. Cheney will not bow down to Trump and kiss the ring whereas Stefanik is willing to do that.

Cheney has voted with Trump 93% of the time, has an 80% score on the with Heritage Action a conservative pressure group.

Stefanik only has a 48% score with Heritage action and has only voted with Trump 60% of the time voted against the tax cuts, has tried to get SALT repealed, voted against funding the border wall. Never endorsed Trump by name.

Republicans can never have a true debate about policy until they decide to oust Trump!! ... Trump has to go so we can actually get back to fighting the Dems on policy not on stolen election lies!!
 
Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot. If Trump couldn't win in 2020, I don't see anyway he could in 2024. The smartest thing they could do is forget about him and push a younger, more dynamic person who can get moderate dems to swing their vote. With continued unemployment benefits, freebies, etc., the young generation will vote dem more than ever. With the stock market doing so well, moderate Republicans who were tired of Trump's mouth and garbage would never vote for him in 2024.

His base will not be happy unless Con Man is the candidate in '24.

Honestly I agree with you I would say about 50% of his base wants to see him run again, the other 50% want to see somebody who will go all in on Trumpism. Under secret ballot not many Pubs support Trump but when pressed out in the open they pledge thier allegiance to the man.

Me personally I liked many of the things he talked about and support policy wise, however once elected he was very unfocused and showed no discipline when it came to getting things done.
But after the lost election, I really lost all support for the man, I just want somebody elected who can actually lead and get things done and not worry so much about personal vendettas or evening the score.. Trump once elected was very unfocused because of that, I think.

But really I think many who support Trump don't support many traditional Pubs like Mitch and Liz.. Many are former blue dog Dems.
 
The DOJ is not going to do anything about Trump just like the Didn't do anything about Hillary and her Emails and such.

Most Pubs are not super Trumper's as you said if pressed.....but with that said he did unite the Conservatives in 2016 because he had swagger and Dem's hated him....which was a huge bonus to many. I think he did more Policy wise than you give him credit for....the economy, Peace deals in M.E., reallocating Troops in Europe. Trying to reign in China's Economic expansion. Fast tracking the Vax's and getting it to people in record time.

But His lack of Focus and vendettas was a issue I 100% agree with that, but I really think that the Russian Hoax Investigation and finger pointing at him as being guilty before he was sworn in Did unhinge him and lead to his embattled nature of constant fighting. Sure he should of turned the other Cheek but that was not his style.

Truth is I dislike Most Pubs.....I see them as Dem's light.....The Bush's and the Old Guard Rep's are Milk Toast, weak and way to willing to roll over and give in to maintain power. They have zero fight in them. They are far to willing to maintain the status quo. They talk about doing this or that but they do nothing policy wise, they are big spenders now and big gov. as well, they really don't care about doing anything on the border, they weaponize Abortion and then ignore it(I'm OK with it being Legal) but their 4 year rally cry is the Big Lie, they are becoming weaker on the 2nd amendment, they haven't came up with a replacement for Obama care, many of them have been enriched by China and have no stomach to fight them economically ....I could go on.

I give the Leftist Dem's this they fight and Fight and get dirty to get done what they want. They will go back to the Supreme court over and Over again until the get the verdict they want....Whether its on Gay marriage(which I support) or some other issue. The Dems don't like court Decisions and makeup let's try and change the make up and Pack the Court......Can't circumvent the 2nd amendment with control of both houses.....let's try and get rid of the 60 vote Filibuster.

Trump Hail Married and beat Hillary sent the establishment into a free fall but let's rally and Attack him with the Russian Hoax smear and then Impeach him twice.....

I mean Rep. just basically crawl up in a ball like fetal position when faced with any obstacle or speed bump. It's really embarrassing in truth.

Lets make the filibuster what it used to be. If you want to stop something from getting a vote you have to stand up there and talk for hour and hours and maybe days. This 60 vote stuff is just silly, it's NOT a real filibuster.
 
It works better than rotating in and out people.....no need for Hollywood BS.

They should have to work for it not just say they're against something and go on with their usual day. I don't care if they stand there and sing Old MacDonald had a farm, they would have to keep it going, not go have a beer some where while they're holding up legislation that should get an up or down vote!.

I think the idea is that they can actually be working for a resolution as opposed to wasting time Singing old McDonald. They do go behind the scenes and ask if the 60 votes to move forward to a vote is possible if not, then why waste time on ending the debate and going to a vote.


Truthfully certain things don't need to be voted upon. Including any legislation that shall infringe on the peoples right to bear arms or any other constitutional right.

The Conservatives who are the minority are working to try and and preserve the Citizens right to bear arms in defense of personal life and liberty. And to make sure the minority has access to big tech and the ability to be represented.. The Oppressive majority is trying to end around the first and second most important Amendment to the Founding Fathers.

I understand why the Dem's are up in arms it is going to be used to Block every crazy progressive piece of legislation the Dem's spew forth....Medicare for ALL, Infringing on the 2nd Amd., Free College for all, Insane Climate Change Regulation, DC becomes a State, pre-k for all etc.

And not everything can be Filibustered...Executive Branch and Judge votes only need a simple majority. Also budget expenditures only need a simply majority as well. I mean tax cuts and spending and such are still on the table with out the filibuster taking action.

I mean the current rule was put in place back in the 70's and then added two twice in the last 10 years if I recall. And truthfully neither side is vested in getting rid of it because when one side is in the minority they clearly want to curtail ..and rightfully so.....any legislation that goes against their fundamental ideals.

Strange how the Dems always want a Mob Rule Democracy which is the way the can become overly oppressive to the conservative Minority and trample their rights and beliefs... but we have been a Constitutional Law Republic from the founding. A effort by the founding fathers to protect the Minority from the Majority....I simple terms it's two wolves and a lamb voting on what is for Lunch.

Alexander Hamilton: " We are now forming a Republican form of government. Real Liberty is not found in the extremes of DEMOCRACY, but in moderate governments. If we incline too much to democracy we shall shoot into a monarchy or some other form of dictatorship...in one of his last letters he wrote the real disease is Democracy"

Thomas Jefferson:"A DEMOCRACY is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people can take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

John Adams: "Remember, Democracy never last long. It waste, exhaust and murders itself."

James Madison: Father of the Constitution/Federalist papers said of pure Democracies "have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been incompatible with PERSONAL SECURITY or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths"

The Filibuster is fine....maybe the Dem's can move on to more palatable legislation for the near other half of the country that is not Democrat. And then it won't be a worry.

I didn't read all of your latest Mosports book but they are NOT working toward ANY solutions, they just want to block anything Biden and the dems want to do. MITCH said so in public and he was doing th same with Obama when he could!

Listen the Dems can't take the high road on this, They took the same approach with Trump and the Pubs.

This seems to be how our dysfunctional government will work for the near future. Get elected swear allegiance to your party and discredit everything the other party does. Even if it means nothing gets done for two years.
 
I think your right the gridlock his here to stay....I wasn't even going to address the fact that Dem's do the same thing to Trump as clearly they don't see it in the same way. But they do grid lock things as it's their standard procedure now all the while they cry only Conservatives should compromise....And really I think the issue is that people from both parties have a massive Cultural divide in belief's and Values. I've talked about that a lot on this board.

Take the Gun Control Debate.....Dem's would easily infringe on my Right to own a AR-15....because the weapon looks scary. Although it's no different than any other semi-automatic weapon. One trigger Pull one bullet fired. The 2nd Amendment is sacred to conservatives. No wiggle room on that subject. No registration, No data base, No illegal search and confiscation by police without warrant.

Conservatives would rather spend Money on the Military and Business incentives and Spend a small Minimal amount on Progressive welfare programs......Dem's want Massive Budget expenditures to redistribute wealth and to State mandate Equity as opposed to Equal opportunity.
At this point I don't see a compromise between the two sides on more gov. hand outs.

Conservatives Control the Boarder and have a Fair and Legal immigration plan. Dem's open boarders to take in all comers who they emotionally swoon over. How do you find a middle Ground on that. Either you have a hardcore plan of getting in line and doing it right, or you have what we have now basically open boarders with a few getting caught and then getting to stay.

I could go on but I think the Divide between the Red Counties and the Blue Counties is now beyond spanning. The more the majority tries to impose their oppressive ideals onto the minority the more push back they will get. And the greater the divide grows and the Greater the chances of it increasing become.
 
Yes I know it's a distilled version of his writings ....Societies exist under gov. as is the case of all monarchies and in most other republics.To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. Its a Government of wolves over sheep. But who wants to write that....

Here are a few of his actual documented words that show that spuriously attributed "quote" is the exact opposite of his writings, rather than a distillation of them.

"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you, it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration....The preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous care of the right of election by the people -- a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided; absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism...

-Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address -- https://www.loc.gov/resource/msspin.pin0405/?sp=3

"I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves. . . ."

-Thomas Jefferson, 2 July 1787 -- https://www.monticello.org/thomas-jefferson/brief-biography-of-jefferson/

To an extent, but the Reps never wanted to work with them anyway. The January 6th commission is an example of the difference between the 2 parties. The dems never created any bipartisan bills and then the party jump ship. Reps got almost everything they want in it, and still they are going to vote it down.

We have NEVER had an open border policy in this country, that's right wing BS and you know it! The Obama administration deported more people than Bush and most others I've ever heard of.
I'm no gun expert but I've seen and heard many a doctor say a bullet from and AR-15 tears up the human body much worse than most weapons on the street today. It's the speed of the bullet that makes it so deadly. They showed some tests on 60 minutes that proves what the AR-15 does to the same kind of jello looking target than anything else, including those of a much higher caliber. They just explode inside you and damage everything close to it.
When have conservative ever "controlled the border"? Your great conservative hero Ronald Reagan put us in this mess when he gave hundreds of thousands of illegals a free pass to stay here. Now you folks don't even want to give all the folks that were brought as little kids through no fault of their own and have never known any other country as home own a pass to stay here.

I agree Reagan policy sucked.....And open boarder might not be the official policy but it's how it has been enforced. A big difference in Why Obama deported more was he targeted individuals and other Pres. wanted to deport all illegals to slow the flow. The Mass targeting of all illegals slowed the process down do to procedure.

Clearly you don't know much about Guns....it's Ballistic GEL not JELLO.....and yes the Purpose of the AR-15 is for Self Defense and ease of use by the Masses, although it is effective for hunting and great fun for recreation as well.

Why the .223//556 Nato bullet fragments is what makes it Great.... You do not want a bullet to penetrate and exit the Target and Kill or Maim a innocent bystanders or a family member in the next room. So of Course it's more deadly to the Criminal or enemy and designed to kill with less rounds fired. Thus reducing Collateral damage.

And yes the .223/556 Nato have a high Velocity 3,000 feet per second...but so does the .270 and .243 deer Rifles that are Faster or as fast. I'm not sure why that is so upsetting to Doctors or You.

So what ever crazy Propaganda scare piece 60 min. put out is laughable and clearly worked on you. Get back to me when more than a few hundred people a year die from AR-15's. Or more than 11-13 thousand total from guns a Statistical zero with 300+ million people in the U.S.

And You do know that more people are killed by Knifes and Clubs than by AR-15 and the rounds they use.






Why are you so scared of AR-15 a whopping 364 people where killed with Rifles in 2019 and not all of those where AR-15.......6,368 where killed with Handguns, 1,476 with KNIFES, 397 with CLUBS......JEEZ let's put Boxing GLOVES and Soft House Shoes on everyone because 600 people died from Fists and Feet. Almost double that of AR-15/Rifles probably triple if we had break down of what type of Rifle was used...and the AR-15 is the most Popular Rifle in America with almost 16 million in circulation.

So with out a Doubt and a 100% fact statistically Owners of AR-15 Guns are clearly the most responsible and safest people in America.

Also here is a little ditty the Obama Admin. put forth...I love it that their Findings found that there are 500,000 to 3 million uses of guns in a protective and defensive manner. Which to any sane person means that guns save lives.


https://www.heritage.org/data-visualizations/firearms/defensive-gun-uses-in-the-us/


There is a link that takes you to the CDC report...if you don't like the fact that it's a heritage foundation article....

If we really cared about peoples lives the FBI would do a better job of actually doing something about people with Mental issues that they Know about.....And also do something about all the illegally obtained handguns in the inner cities/trailer parks that are used in violence.

Ask yourself why Biden and all the Dems are So heck bent on AR-15 weapons when they are Zero danger to 99.9% of the population? What is their end game? Are they just that Stupid? Or do they want to Break the Gun Owners back and slowly Force concessions to get to Registration of all guns and then the eventual confiscation.

Registration and then Confiscation is how a Republic dies....see the 2nd amendment....it's sort of the Fly in the ointment of the Radical leftist ideal society of no individualism and a Group think mentality.

OK dude I do know it's not jello, get a clue! Maybe because it seems to be the weapon of choice in is many of the shooting we see and hear about. The reason is just what you said, easy to use and very deadly.
 
If you believe it's the Weapon of choice then Clearly you are easily manipulated and emotionally controlled by the MSM and the BS propaganda they hoist upon the public...because as the FBI stat prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the AR-15 is not a threat. Kills less than Handguns, Fist, Feet, Clubs and Knives. While easy to use with proper training and deadly those who own and use them are Clearly not a issue in deaths.


And no I didn't know you knew it wasn't Jello......because you called it that when you easily could of typed Ballistic GEL. Why would I assume you knew the difference when your knowledge of Fire Arms, their capabilities and even general knowledge of the subject is clearly confined to the Lies spewed by 60 min. and the other Propagandist of the MSM.

And no I didn't know you knew it wasn't Jello......because you called it that when you easily could of typed Ballistic GEL. Why would I assume you knew the difference when your knowledge of Fire Arms, their capabilities and even general knowledge of the subject is clearly confined to the Lies spewed by 60 min. and the other Propagandist of the MSM.
 
Tell that to all the parents of kids shot with them.
I would....not a problem. Kids die everyday. Mostly from vehicle crashes...around 4 thousand a year. I don't see a call for stopping kids from driving or riding in vehicles. A real threat to the lives of Kids.

How many kids where killed with AR-15s.....less than 300 and probably less than a 100. So your emotional manipulation of tell that to the parents doesn't have any effect on me at all.
 
Strange how Leftist hate and want to Ban perfectly legal and lawful guns and their ownership.

But then want to reduce penalties for Actual Criminals who use Firearms in violent and dangerous ways..


You can't make this up. Glad the Bill failed but I bet they keep trying till it passes.

This is a false equivalency, yet this type of trite, specious argument persists because, for many people, it's a lot simpler to pretend that nuance doesn't exist and that everything is black and white.

The problem for both sides of the debate is there is alot of grey area.... If it was black and white it would be easy.

Correct, so in spite of evidence to the contrary, they pretend that it is a black and white issue. One single gun regulation proposed means they're repealing the 2nd amendment and trying to turn us into a communist dystopia. Apparently they aren't informed that the slippery slope isn't a logical argument, it is a fallacy.

I disagree......while it might not be black or white, nothing is. It clearly points out the illogic coming from the Left. Why would you want to decrease the time in prison to those willing to use Guns in act's of violence? When the Purpose of Prison is to punish and to isolate Criminals from Society and the innocent? If you think in the American System that rehabilitation is a thing you are sadly mistaken.... All the while taking away the means and ways to protect a person from the CRIMINALS who acted in the most dangerous manner possible.

When it comes to Self Protections and the Punishment of Criminals it is a Black & White subject.

Clearly the Left has some warped moral mind set. Let's take away the 2nd amendment rights and or infringe on them to a large degree.....but on the other hand let's allow Dangerous, Violent criminals to walk early and get back to their recidivist ways.

Also making hard and fast rules that are clearly enforced without exceptions......well it cannot be nuanced in the least.

When it comes to not infringing it is Black and White.....meaning no Limits, diminish, weaken, impair, erode. Any Gun Law aka regulation does that. Back Ground Checks. Registration, Red Flag laws, the effort to try and Ban certain types of Fire Arms and or magazine capacity etc. They all infringe on the Right to bear Arms. A fundamental right afforded by the Bill of Rights.

And yes it's a slippery slope.....as you can see that as of now their are around 20,000 laws regulating Guns.....Fudging 20,000!!!

Look at the Crap you have to go through in NJ and they out right banned AR-15 defensive weapons.


And then the Local Police in that state basically make it impossible to own a firearm or to obtain one. That is why we fight so hard to stop any and every gun law or regulation.

Well it depends on the regulation? What exactly are you speaking to? If we are talking background checks I have nothing against that, I know those on the right will say a Criminal doesn't need a background check...and if that is true then any other citizen should be able to find a gun.
I had a friend tell me that once that he could get a gun in less than a day like a criminal, I challenged him to do it...three years later I am still waiting for him to show me how criminals do it...
