Building a New, Less Cowardly Republican Party
We patriots are hearing this call, and we must be ready to say, â€œHere I am, send me!â€

By Cory Mills
November 9, 2020

If you are a conservative who has been waking up angry, upset, and frustrated with your representation in Congress in the week since the presidential election, you are not alone.

Many of us are wondering why the Republican Party seems to have been reactive and defensive rather than aggressive in support of President Trump and the America First agenda.

Many of us want to know which of our elected Republican representatives are supporting and defending us and which ones are eying the exits. We are looking to these officials to stand up and protect our voices, and now to ensure that the integrity and transparency of our electoral system are upheld.

Some of our Republican â€œleadersâ€ seem to be playing defense instead of going on the offense.

Playing not to lose while the Democrats play to win is not what we expect from a party that is there to represent our ideas, and to uphold the Constitution that defends our inalienable rights as Americans.

The Republican Party is a vessel for preserving and deploying our agenda. Many of us are conservatives first and Republicans second.

The Republican Party was born an Anti-Slavery Party, supported by the Northern Mercantile Class.
It never had anything to do w/Principled Conservatism; not for a day!
During its 75 year ascendancy from Fremont in 1856 to Hoover, its core platform included:
strong centralized government, aggressive trade protectionism via excises/tariffs and judicial activism.

There is nothing cowardly about a Republican Party that exceeded expectations, up and down the ballot. Trump had more coattails than Joe Biden.

As for Trump, he got exactly the election he demanded - a referendum on himself.

You know damn well if it wasn't for the China Plague, he wins in a walk.

Without calculated, massive cheating in key democrat-controlled cities in battleground states with sordid histories of election fraud, President Trump won the election on the night of November 3.

Now, itâ€™s just a matter of presenting the mounting evidence of flagrant, desperate, wholesale fraud to courts for a just ruling.

After violent democrat riots are put down, Trump is inaugurated January 20.

Yes, Trump had long coattails, but the media would have us believe no coat. Maybe.

Republican cowardice will be in not insisting on the fullest legal hearing possible. Yes Trump got a referendum on himself, but it's no longer about Trump, his narcissism notwithstanding. It's about whether or not the Republican establishment will insist without relent, without hesitation, and without embarrassment, that the Republican base have an election result it can trust.

If the Republican establishment chooses its own virtue and respectability in the eyes of the Democrats and their media publicists, rather than a vigorous defense of what its base believes, it deserves to be abandoned to history along with the Whigs and No-nothings. That establishment seriously needs to realize that *it* is on trial just as surely as the vote counting procedures in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

It will never happen... For the very same reason that many on this board reject conservative orthodoxy.

Until all y'all reject the 'lesser evil' argument and start insisting on standards prerequisite to the defense of the things that are supposed to unite us, you'll continue going down the very same path you always have. And I fully expect that to be the case. Thus, nothing but RINOs.

Until y'all quit being fooled by candy thrown by the clown at the front of the parade, and insist upon your principles writ large in law, You'll continue to be satisfied by inconsistent spurts and empty gestures and keep calling them success. Thus, nothing but RINOs... And the globalist moderate agenda that y'all are actually voting FOR, moving forward.

And after a lifetime of disappointment, who would expect otherwise in the face of an inter-generational normalcy bias? Folks will continue the way they know. And continue to fail.

Democrats serve their far left base, pushing always for that hard left edge.

Republicans serve the moderate left, always pushing away from their conservative base, and away from the right. You do the math. It ain't no grand mystery.

Intuitive.
Trump lost by more than 5,000,000 votes for a very obvious reason;
the election was a vote of "no confidence" in him, which the GOP escaped.

Conservatives are not the Republican base. Conservatives are a minority guest in the Republican Party; and even more of a minority in the nation itself.

Without the Republican Party conservatives would not have any voice except on the phone talking to each other.

Are you suggesting Donald Trump is a globalist?

No they are not. Every time the Republicans win it is because of Conservatives. And every time they have won explosively, it is because of an awakened Conservative juggernaut.

Exactly the opposite is true - And that is why I am a Republican no more.

@dfwgator

AND......,just like I have been predicting for months,with a week or two of the election ending,there would be a sudden "miracle cure" emerge.

The whole purpose of the Covid-19 outbreak was to allow the Dims to keep Slow Joe off the campaign trail,and to scare the brain-dead sheeple into voting Dim "because they care".

Sure enough,the election ends,and suddenly there is a vaccination ready to ship that is 90 percent effective.

Funny how that works,ain't it?

Why,if you didn't know better,you might even think the Dims and their Chinese masters had the vaccination ready to go the same day the virus "escaped" from the Chinese labs.

No they are not. Every time the Republicans win it is because of Conservatives. And every time they have won explosively, it is because of an awakened Conservative juggernaut.

Every time Republicans win a national election they have put together a coalition of voters, like the Reagan and Trump Democrats and a majority of Independents.

Why not stop overestimating the influence of the Conservative Republicans? They can be a powerful minority voice; but only if they stop shouting 'my way or the highway". We know this only leads to a highway with stalled bumper-to-bumper traffic in the right lane. Every other lane is moving freely.

The only thing that ever works is Conservatism... You should try it some time.
