 Republicans grow more aggressive in openly defying Trump

Republicans are more aggressively asserting themselves within the GOP amid signs that former President Trump’s once vise-like grip on the party is starting to weaken.

In recent weeks, some of the GOP’s biggest names have begun to brazenly take on the former president and the candidates whom he has endorsed. In the run-up to the Georgia primaries, for instance, a handful of Republican governors flocked to the state to campaign for Gov. Brian Kemp, who faced a Trump-backed primary challenge from former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.).

Other Republican power players, like Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence, have started to take bolder steps toward potential White House bids of their own, suggesting that they’re no longer willing to put their own plans on hold if Trump decides to mount a comeback campaign in 2024.

“I don’t think [Trump] has ever looked as vulnerable as he does now,” one Republican strategist said. “Naturally, people are going to notice that and take the opportunity to put themselves out there a little bit more.”

The strategist pointed to Trump’s recent string of losses in Georgia, where several of his endorsed candidates failed to emerge from primaries against incumbents whom the former president had vowed to oust.

In perhaps the most embarrassing upset to Trump so far this year, Perdue lost to Kemp in the state’s closely watched GOP gubernatorial primary by a more than 50-point margin. Kemp was helped in the final days of his campaign by a triumvirate of influential Republican governors, including Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a one-time Trump ally.

There are two Max Greenwood reporters,one is an alleged male,and the other is a female. Both are leftist loons,but it was the alleged male that wrote this brain fart.

He is one of the Huffington Posts propaganda ministers.

To sum it up,"Rude Orange Man scary and eats children."

Haven't Trump endorsees won over 90% of their races so far?

Trump never had a vice grip on the party, btw.

Yeah,but that doesn't matter in "Propaganda Land". It is the Dim way to bring out the brass bands and the neekid dancers to celebrate a lone Dim victory,while completely ignoring all the losses.

NEVER admit defeat,and ALWAYS pump up your victories.

I am to the point where I honestly believe that "DNC" stands for "Deceitful Nazi Communists". That IS who and what they are. The Communist Party in Russia sent dedicated communists to the US starting in the late 20's to slowly build organizations that would destroy America and individual freedoms from within.

A startling number of these "secret agents" were Jewish,and I personally think that had a lot to do with the blind hatred many Americans from previous generations had against Jews.

Regardless of their races or religions,their goal was to destroy America by first taking over control of labor by creating or taking over Labor Unions,and using that power to get their followers elected to local,state,and federal offices.

It was a good plan for them,and we are still fighting against this plan today.

The truly ironic part is that Communism is on the way out everywhere in the world but here. Not that it means much because in almost all of those places it evolved into it's evil cousin,Fascism. Nicer clothes,better living conditions,but you are still the slaves of the state.

Only the media could tighten the camera lens to make a swift boat look like an aircraft carrier.

Trump like him or not has a juggernaut record of primary picks. Of course the snitty, smirky reporters at The Shrill are focusing on a couple of races to make it look like he's losing his grip.

Desperate grasping and bleating by the woke press once again.

Of course they are. With the Dems, they can make deals that are mutually beneficial (eff the American people, who come in last), but with people who believe in the Constitution, etc., that gets difficult. Hence, the resistance toward TEA party and MAGA.

As I understand it, GA. is an open primary so Rats can vote the Pub ticket. I believe there was a huge vote for Pub Gov. and SOS as compared to down ballot.

How about more open defiance of the democrats?  That’s where it really matters.
