Republicans fear disaster in November

[skeeter]

You and I both will blame the thumb and his blind faithful that have driven away anyone who doesn't support everything Trump does 100% of the time 24/7/365.

Trump and is minions however...well they won't concede an inch that they or their guy might have had a hand in his own defeat.

"Minions". lol

If you guys had only a third of the contempt for the other side we might find more common ground here.

Liberals are utterly vile. That goes without saying.

Not good enough.

Gonna have to be. I am far less concerned with what the other side does or doesn't do.

Judgment begins at home. Until your own house is in order...

The point of all this is that the GOP cannot count on a Trump victory.   Indeed,  it should be planning for the eventuality of a Dem win and what it will take to fight back the next two years.   

My view is that far more resources need to be devoted to the House and Senate races.  That's the firewall that must not crumble.  We need to be prepared to play effective defense because @Mesaclone is right that a total Dem victory will be curtains for our constitutional Republic.   But if Trump loses and we can still block legislation and judges and force investigations of the hooligans,  we can recover quite nicely as early as 2022.

And we may end up a stronger and better party once Trump's in the rearview mirror.     

You don't seem to get the reality staring us in the face right now.  IF you honestly believe that if there is a DEM win that there will ever be a chance of a GOP ever being seated again, then you are very disillusioned.  One of the very first things that they will do is grant blanket amnesty ensuring that there will never be another GOP victory; this will happen because of the number of ILLEGALS that will be granted citizenship and they will accumulate so many new voters that it will be mathematically impossible for another party to win.  Secondly, they will change the electoral process.  They will also extend the number of seats on the Supreme Court.  Any DEM victory; regaining the Senate, expanding the House and/or winning the oval office will be a disaster with NO chance of recovery.  Our Republic is gone.

There will be no chance of winning in two years if we lose this year.  Notta.  Not going to happen.  That IS reality.

I’ve got more contempt in my pinkie finger for the Progressive Liberal movement in this country than you’ve got in your entire body.

But you don’t realize that because you’re too busy shaming people for dating to say anything negative about Trump.

Like @Smokin Joe has said many times...your circular firing squad mentality needs to end.  You’re pointing your weapons at the wrong people.

Not good enough.

@roamer_1 I think he wants you to take a knee to prove yourself.

[catfish1957]

Pig... Pin filled with mud and crap... They only spread it to you with no upside. I too have to learn that lesson from time to time...

Very true.  How he equated me, a Trump voter to me celebrating his loss in November was a tad bizarre though.  He's never liked me anyway, so what can I say.

Jazzy would be happy with either Biden or someone like Jeb or Kasich. 

He’s what some here accuse you and I of being.

On May 2, 2020, the Constitution Party nominated Don Blankenship for president and William Mohr for vice-president.  I have not heard of either one of them.  I did a "search" on him and the Constitution Party is IMHO in complete disaster mode if this is the caliber of person that they are nominating to represent their party. This is obviously why they are doing so poorly with ballot access. Take a look at who he is:

Donald Leon Blankenship (born March 14, 1950) is an American business executive who was a candidate for the United States Senate in West Virginia in 2018. He was Chairman and CEO of the Massey Energy Company—the sixth-largest coal company (by 2008 production) in the United States—from 2000 until his retirement in 2010.

On December 3, 2015, Blankenship was found guilty of one misdemeanor charge of conspiring to willfully violate mine safety and health standards in relation to the Upper Big Branch Mine explosion

He has frequently spoken out about politics, the environment, unions, and coal production. In 2018, Blankenship lost a three-way Republican primary for the U.S. Senate to Patrick Morrisey. Citing false information, dirty politics and a personal unwillingness to quit, Blankenship attempted to run as the Constitution Party nominee but was unable to get on the ballot and later endorsed Morrisey.

Blankenship launched his campaign in the 2020 United States presidential election as a member of the Constitution Party on October 18/19, 2019 during a meeting of the Constitution Party national committee. According to the Constitution Party website, Don Blankenship has secured the nomination for President, along with running mate Bill Mohr.

...............Blankenship said he was "Trumpier than Trump" but that the establishment was misinforming him because they did not want him "to be in the U.S. Senate and promote the president's agenda." The national Republican leadership and allied groups made statements and ran ads against Blankenship, and the day before the Republican primary, Trump posted a tweet urging voters to vote for either of Blankenship's major primary opponents, Evan Jenkins and Patrick Morrisey, because Blankenship would not be competitive in the general election. Trump's tweet came in the wake of reporting that internal Republican polling had shown a surge in Blankenship's support among likely primary voters. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whom Blankenship harshly criticized in his campaign, reportedly urged Trump to express opposition to Blankenship.

During the Republican primary campaign, Blankenship received criticism for calling McConnell's wife a "China person....

Nice job and find.  I just read his Constitution Party Bio.  In it, he came across as a Joe Blow down the street, minimal politico experience , and general fluff.

My biggest concern is that the Democrat-registered @roamer_1 's in their Party merely opt out...STAY HOME, rather than turning out for Pres. Trump.

After 5 years of "Orangeman Bad", where is THEIR motivation?

Will the 40-80 year-old Democrat Voter show up?  Or sit it out?   

@DCPatriot

I am a little more optimistic than some.

Biden will get his 40 to 45% Dem kool-aid drinkers that always vote Dem.

As far as the great unwashed, those middle-of -the-road undecided:


Those that like Biden, won't vote for him, because they are afraid he won't last the 4 year term, if elected.

Those that don't like Biden won't vote for him, either. They are afraid that he will last his 4 year term.

Trump wins.

Not so sure about that.  The main objective that has been preached even before DJT took the oath of office is that he would be a one term president and he must be stopped at all costs. The DEMS have had tat focus and everything they have done has been with that goal in mind.  I think most DEMS are going to vote for Biden regardless if they think that he will be able to fulfill his first term of presidency; especially if he names a very viable VP such as Susan Rice, Michelle Obama,  or Kamala Haris.  IMHO either one of those VP's are reason to realize that it is going to be a very difficult ticket for Trump to beat.  I think most DEM voters realize that Biden is incapable of being president and that who they are really voting for is his VP.

Good analyis, and only one point of differenece.  I really think the middle of the road van driving soccer moms are the piviotal swing votes. Will they either:

(1) Break Trump's way due to security concerns from months of rioting on TV or:
(2) Break for Biden because of the 24/7 MSM anti-Trump brainwashing,  Trump's Tweets, or COVID-19 fatigue.


Think it is going to be close.

Why would the soccer mom vote for Trump because of security concerns?  Trump sat on his thumbs way too long before he tried to do anything --- not exactly exemplary leadership behavior in times of dire straits.

[bilo]

So you think only the Democrats will up the violence if Trump wins.  What about Trump supporters, should Trump lose?

Trump has already lined up those he intends to blame if he loses. And while he may not directly advocate for violence, his faithful followers are already ginned up, accusing anyone who does not support or vote for Trump as traitors.  The kindling is already in place. All that's needed is a match.

Of course the Rats will up the violence, it's what socialist/marxists do.

I don't see Trump supporters doing anything until the leftists start doing what they said they would do. At that point a Governor will resist and when the Rats try using federal law enforcement to coerce compliance a real resistance will begin.

What may appear to be lip service, is still light years above the dims.  As you may have saw in Cruz' hearings on Antifa, they (democrats) choose not to even rebuke Antifa's violence. Hell, Biden and company are complicit in the matter.

The women's vote, using the psychological instinct of females:

Every woman with a child is fearful of COVID-19.  Trump did not/has not, removed that fear.  They will vote for Biden, hoping he can save their children from this disease.
