We can remake the GOP into the majority party of the new century
By Charlie Gerow, opinion contributor — 01/04/21 09:30 AM EST

Throughout the 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden habitually sought to link President Trump with “Park Avenue” or “Wall Street” in the minds of voters. Biden was the “regular guy” from Scranton, representing their values, and Trump was the hero of Park Avenue, championing the interests of the elite.

Of course Biden knew it wasn’t true. It was sheer demagoguery. Had Joe Biden ventured out of his basement long enough to take a five-minute stroll down Park Avenue, it would have been inescapable that Park Avenue and its elites were virtually unanimous in their support for him, not Donald Trump.

The votes cast in the election by the elites whom Biden claimed were the powers behind the Trump throne likewise proved that the truth was exactly the opposite of what Biden had sought to convince middle America.

Meanwhile, in labor union halls and beer-and-a-shot bars across middle America, working men and women eschewed the Park Avenue, Hollywood and media elites to support Donald Trump in record numbers. One of the transformational aspects of the Trump presidency was the emergence of the Republican Party as a working person’s party.

There’s an emerging populist Republican Party that doesn’t look much like the silk stocking variety of our grandparents. It’s demographically and socially much more diverse. It has significant and growing numbers of African Americans, Latinos and Asian Americans.

This guy offers up the same old crap. No sale.

Nothing about corporate and political establishment selling off the nation to the Chicoms, nothing about defending our sovereign borders, nothing about abolishing the department of education, nothing about refusing foreign entanglements, and most importantly NOTHING about turning out the ossified, limp, ineffective current GOP leadership.

IMO sounds like a party hack trying to leap to the front of Trump's parade. Totally expected.

If the GOP had wanted to be the top party, maybe they should have actually worked for it, instead of having this guy from Bucks County speak for them.  They did nothing.  How many were there who actually helped Trump?   :shrug:

   I agree @skeeter I think Mitch don't give a $hit either way on the results of Georgia and Comealot casting the deciding vote in the Senate. 

   I'm really surprised Trump is going down there to campaign, he don't owe his Party a damn thing.

An act of self preservation or patriotism. Or both.

He’s stuck with the same sh*tty choice all of us have had to live with for decades - either bad or far far worse.

    @skeeter

   It made perfect sense to me, AT THE TIME, looking back in retrospect it does seem like I appear to be a whiny Manager at a Pottery Store. (takes another hit)........My analogy was Trump had 4 friggin years to fix that CF known as the GOP and it proved above his paygrade as it would've for anyone running in 2016, I suppose, They are Formidable.

Campaigning for the two candidates is but one item on his agenda.   :smokin:

No.  The GOP must be stomped to the very bottom of the swamp to die its natural death.

So basically, we should stand idly by while Democrats steal election after election.  Not sure how that makes the GOP the majority party.

   I agree with your post that the GOP should be relegated to a *

Promising a majority is boob bait for bubba. Whats really important is those currently in the club keep their sweet sinecures.

I read the title.  That was enough.  NEWSFLASH:  The GOP is Dead. It's been dying; with the failed leadership of McConnell and Ryan, AND not backing this President who has done a lot to turn this country into a positive direction. It completely died the minute SCOTUS refused to hear the case which gives the DEMS carte blanche to continue their election corruption.

The DEMS will ensure that all the Pubbies lose their seats.

It IS time to refocus, form a new Republic, using the same Constitution, with same changes such as clarifying parameters of eligibility to become president, birthright citizenship, etc.,  and to take over what's left of the uniparty.  Thinking that we can reform the GOP at the ballot box is just absolutely ridiculous.

I sent an e-mail to both the leader of the Constitution Party in FL and the main headquarters -- no response.

I think the Constitutional Conservative Party of America or CCPA has a nice ring to it.
