That's the way I see it. When is the last time that you actually were able to vote for a conservative rather than voting for the more conservative of two? After all the GOP (supposedly conservative) talk about needing the majority to take back this country, after they had the majority for two years and did nothing, I was dumbfounded when once again McConnell was deemed head of the Senate and Ryan head of the House. I knew then that nothing was going to change. The only thing that truly changed was Trump was seated in the oval office. Ryan obstructed just as much as he could and IMHO gave the House away to the DEMS. Once the DEMS had the majority in the House, Pelosi and Chuckie dug their heels in to invoke as much turmoil as they could onto this country. Long before Trump even was sworn in many of the GOP along with the DEMS vowed to make Trump a one term President; McConnell and Graham included. Here we sit.
There aren't enough conservatives running to replace the existing RINO's in Congress in order to make a difference. I believe we are holding on by a very thin thread and like him or not (sorry for the repeat) Trump is standing between us and socialism. He's our glimmer of hope. If he's re-elected, will we see enough conservatives run as well to make a difference? I don't know. It is going to take a large majority in the House and Senate that are conservative enough to make a difference and the GOP certainly needs new leadership --McConnell has to go and be replaced with a true conservative and we need a true conservative leading the House -- only then would this country stand a chance of getting back to conservative principles that is was founded upon. I don't know how many conservatives are chomping at the bit to oppose the RINO's in Congress -- I've only heard of two.
Trump has replaced a couple of seats on the bench with two who lean more conservative -- but once this Republic falls, truly, what difference is it going to make?
Sorry to be so pessimistic, but we've had a do nothing Congress for quite some time and IMHO Trump has been the only one to light a fire under their booties to get them half-way in line. McConnell has changed somewhat and so has Graham and thankfully McCain is at rest. The DEMS will stop at absolutely nothing to push until their agenda is realized. Never, ever did I imagine that Americans would seat someone like AOC or Omar which is another part of the problem, nor did I ever imagine the popularity of Bernie the socialist. It is a sad day in America and Trump IS our glimmer of hope. Just my opinion of course and the way I see it.
PLEASE libertylady, do not be pessimistic!
100,000 requests for a Trump rally in New Jersey??? Screw the "FOX Poll" where they're so embarrassed they immediately say "It's a 48-42 Democrat to Republican bias". Really? What else is new? Don't be beaten down!
I'm patient with Millenialls, they'll figure stuff out if they ever get married and have mortgages and kids etc. etc. But, I am really hopeful about the Gen Z kids. They have seen their older sister's sonograms and KNOW life is in the womb.
That's a moral - hearts and minds - battle that is impossible to market or game plan. Those young people saw their new niece of nephew or little sister after 17 weeks through the sonogram. The young folks who have flocked to the "Right to Life" movement FAR exceed the idiots who the media portray as the Socialist surge. And, that dissonance will not be lost on them.
Kids are largely ignorant. We all were! They're NOT stupid. Public schooling, with the protected NEA jackasses, are blocking the knowledge of US and World History, Civics ... Math and Science and Reading ... etc.
Indoctrination needs to be identified and showcased. Evil spawns in the dark. That's Public Education.
I am hopefully optimistic! It's imperative we get four more years of the Trump agenda and take the House back. I'm working! Bless ya!
