I'm bored. I'm hungry for some intellectual stimulation.

So you're here? On this thread.  :pondering:

Apparently that's what those members want to debate.  It's up to them. :shrug:

I'll be well over 76 years old when election day rolls around this year and very likely won't live to see another. I sincerely wish the pickings were better, but they aren't, and I've made my choice. The one thing I absolutely refuse to do is not choose.

Same. Yep, same. I live in a battleground state and someone from Door A or Door B will emerge a winner. I will choose the one that gives me and mine the best chance to fight another day. I refuse to cede any advantage to Biden. I will live with that choice. I will vote, good Lord willing, for DJT.

I respect the principled position of others.

You’re voting your conscience. That’s all anybody can do.

There are risks for voting for Donald Trump and risks in not voting for Donald Trump.


I have a very left-wing relative who said after Donald Trump won in 2016 that everybody who voted for Donald Trump is a bad person. I reminded her that many of those same people also voted for Barack Obama. So were they good in 2008 and 2012 but suddenly became bad in 2016?


Although I will not be casting a ballot for Donald Trump this cycle, there is a dark side of me that will tune in to CNN and MSNBC just to gauge the extent of their meltdown

The conventions and the elections will be $h!t-$how$.

The national parties are messes.

Federal instiutions are messes.

What's the point of having a GOP majority in the House if they are going to cave to the US Senate and the White House?

The House has ceded too much of its institutional independence for "party unity".

The American people want their candidates and their caucus to fight for them ... we want legislation with debate and amendment on the House Floor.

If House bills are going to be unwritten, undebated, un-amended backroom "frameworks", there's no need to pay to have C-Span televise House sessions if House business is not going to be done in public.

Immigration is a hill worth dying on.  Make Biden explain to the American people his rationale for making his Open Borders a higher priority than a Federal Budget, Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan?

Put Biden on the defensive.  Hammer the White House and the US Senate with the costs and consequences of Biden's Open Borders.

Write an immigration bill, with debate and amendment on the Floor, and throw it over to the US Senate and the White House to publicly defend Open Borders.

Don't worry about every bill passing.  Each defeated bill is a starting point for the next version of that bill.

To play field position football, we need to be willing to run the ball.  We will not gain 10 yards on every down, but will move the ball forward for the next down, while grinding down Dem and RINO defense.

House GOP needs to attack attack attack ... passing bill after bill after bill ... regardless of whether it will be passed in the US Senate or signed by the President.  Force the opposition to constantly be on defense.

The strategy of field position football is to win the game by keeping the other team's offense off the field.

I couldn't agree with you more.  The GOP has a very slim majority in the House to begin with and too many RINO's...both Speakers were worthless. For that matter most of the GOP have proven to be pretty darn worthless - unfortunately the time to replace them at the ballot box has come and gone. We have to work with what we've got so, again, it is more important to vote in as many conservatives as possible down ballot than spending so much time and $$ worrying about Trump.  Just my opinion.

Trump deserves bashing.  Most of his policies turned to mud. He ran up the deficit. He attacks conservatives. Right now he's funneling funds from the RNC to help pay for his legal bills.

The first couple of points are the predictable, vacuous broad brushed nonsense we're used to enduring. But, it seems you slipped in something new here @libertybele     -----    Please post a link with information on "funneling funds".  I'd like to take a closer look at this to determine how this bullshit was set in motion.

Thanks.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

Trump is only important because his election gives America 4 more years to try to turn the helm so the USS America sails from left to right. (port to starboard?)

He is a placeholder until we can do better.

Placeholder?  Perhaps at this point in time that's the best we may have going for us, but even at that, I believe it is more important to secure a majority in either the Senate or House.  Both would be quite an accomplishment.

You do realize that the USS America sailed leftward during his last 4 years in office, right?  Never in my lifetime did I imagine people would be denied their livelihood for refusing to be injected with an experimental genetic program.
