I   agree with you on how the news media is when it comes to Donald Trump. The news media decided they are part of the revolution against Donald Trump and not just simply a reporter when it comes to him.   That’s why they are rapidly losing any credibility with the public. I’ve heard that Donald Trump killed the news media. No they killed them selves.

 I do expect the news media to be a thorn in the side of anybody who wields power. But if Hunter Biden was Donald Trump,jr,  the media would leave no stone unturned

Thorn in the side of President Trump? Nice phrasing. They’ve abdicated their constitutional role to report honestly about “news” and fell headlong into making shit up, reporting damaging lies as solid, confirmed facts 24/7/365. Jeez, get a clue just how evil and anti American that is.

Before you type this emotional laced screed,  did you even read my post?

I would advise you that in the future you read a post before responding to it
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

I’m not claiming that there hasn’t been some shenanigans in this election, especially that Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling, but if that was the sole reason why Trump is fighting for re election, then why isn’t it reflected in the down ticket races? Whatever ultimately happens and should Donald Trump not prevail, he left a blueprint for the GOP going forward.  They cannot go back to being the party of George W. Bush.  If the Republican party follows the blueprint and builds  on that going forward,  they should do pretty well

 This was a man who did better amongst non-white voters than any Republican candidate for as long as I can remember after years of being called a white supremacist.  That tells me that that well has long gone dry but the Democrat party still thinks they can squeeze that last drop

Agree 100%.   The future is bright if we build on the direction forged by the President.   The voters have and will reject progressivism.  It is the GOP that speaks for the wage earner and not the grifters.

 It’s depressing to hear people on the site lamenting  how the country is over and we’re all descending into socialism now etc. etc.

The facts say otherwise. The reality is, despite the presidential election maybe not going quite the Republicans way as of now, the Democrats had a bad night. And they know it

 I have never been more optimistic than I am now. The fight for conservatism has only begun. It is a fight worth having.

some of us are living in single party states. We know how they happen, know how they’ve stripped us of our voices, and so recognize what’s going on nationally. Ignore us at your own peril.

The most important one fact is that the Biden/AOC NGD will not get by a GOP controlled Senate.  Major energy policy can not be administered via EO.

Two words: the squad. Ever think you’d see the day? It’s here.

And did you ever think you would see the day that a republican President after three years of being called a white supremacist and a racist would get a better share of the minority vote than any Republican in the last several decades?

The reason why the Democrat party and the left were reduced to calling Trump a racist and white supremacists because that was their only argument to keep Black people fully on their plantation.  It’s not like they can tell  Black voters about the good schools and safe neighborhoods in the cities they run.

Donald Trump was never going to get a majority of the minority vote. But he not only was able to increase his share and bring more into the GOP than anyone before him, but he did it while being called a racist and white supremacy by every left winger out there and even them lying about the “good people on both sides”  line

 That tells me it can be done. Of course conservatives are going to have to fight. But I do believe ultimately conservatism wins. It wins because it’s based on reality.  Progressives tend to view policy decisions on how those policies make them feel. We look at pros and cons and consequences of implementing policy

That does not mean there’s no obstacles ahead. America’s  inner cities are falling apart and the cancel culture is going to need to be dealt with.

 Are you interested in a conversation or  or just want to take your emotions out on me?

 I voted for Donald Trump this time. I never thought this country would ever be energy independent. Under his watch and policies, that happened.  I give the man props.
Should Joe Biden ultimately prevail, that goes away. Because AOC will demand it. That, and if Democrats got full power, they would turn the country into carbon copies of the inner cities that they run.

I think you meant to direct that crack at me, not LMAO.  I have frequently given the President due credit and praise for his administration's many accomplishments.  I do not hate the man, far from it.  But I can see his personal weaknesses/obsessions and why he is so polarizing. I have been afraid for some time now that he would be denied reelection, notwithstanding his accomplishments.

It is a strange thing - the vote appears to have reflected support for Trumpism but a rejection of the tribal chaos of the last four years.   Maybe the voters are on to something.   

Count me with LMAO as optimistic as I have ever been for the American project and the future of conservatism.

It was Trump that attracted the record minority votes & grew the party and did it mostly without the support of the GOPe stooges - the same guys who are delighted to be rid him.

The GOP thinks they will re-inherit a new, re-energized party post Trump. The reality is without him the party will revert to the old status quo as soon as he's gone - a minority party, which is where they are most comfortable. Because they do not believe nor do they want what Trump's supporters believe and want.

Assuming Joe Biden wins, he is going to get it from both ends. He does not have a congress that’s going to go along with the Harris agenda. But the squad and the Sanders wing will pressure him to go along with their wacky left-wing ideas. He risks then a primary challenge in 2024

 If I was Mitch, I would force another vote to bring the GND out for debate. The Democrats will not vote for it. They’ll try to get away with it by voting present. I would advise in 2022 all the Republicans vote yes to bring it on the floor for debate, thereby forcing the Democrat party to debate it publicly instead of hiding behind present votes.  The reason the Democrats all voted present the first time is because they didn’t wanna vote yes and give the Republican party an issue. But if they voted no that would upset their left flank.


Let the public see the GND in all its naked glory.

And that could happen. But that’s why we need to fight. It’s the same reason why the Democratic Party is lazy towards minority voters because they just figure that’s all in the bag. I bet after Tuesday they’re a little more spooked

 I understand this isn’t going to be easy. But the Democrat party had this warped sense of thinking that the riots were going to result in the mass minority vote for them. They chose poorly.

 We need to find young, minority conservatives to run in Senate races. Kim Klacik,  God bless her. But she had no chance of winning Baltimore as a Republican. No black Republican is going to win in the inner cities. But the better shot is Senate seats. And we need to start doing this locally,also

If the polls are correct, even Black people in inner cities hate the idea of defunding the police. That’s an idea that comes from Hollywood

 This fracking issue is going to be interesting to watch if Joe Biden ends up being the president. Will he put millions of people out of work to appease AOC? Or, to keep those states in his column if he runs again, he ignores her and those like her?

 You wanna know what I’m betting on?

Just think what would have happened if we could have gotten Biden to announce his policy on fossil fuels in the 1st debate.  We wouldn't be talking about PA right now.

 But if he becomes president, it will be up to him whether to allow exploration on federal lands or not.  He can’t soundbite it away or nuance it.  And you can bet the squad is going to give him an earful. But why would they want to put millions of people out of work you ask?  Because AOC has said it’s more important to be morally right then factually correct.  Her morality, of course. She opposes fracking and oil exploration and fossil fuels. Her morality says those are bad therefore putting people out of work is a necessary evil

Or if the mainstream press had pointed out the simple and obvious fact that Biden had lied and contradicted his prior position.

(1) A lot of the success in securing the office, is based on enthusiasm.  Would Pence have generated that level of excitement, and desire to vote?

(2) I have a suspcicion that Pence would have governed more like W than Trump.  Would those less combative positions worked well with those who like blue collar democrats crossed over to vote for the GOP?  Or those who would prefer us to fight the left rather than capitulate?

We all have opinions, but in this case I think a ticket headed by Pence would have fared worse.

 I think you’re kind of misunderstanding people such as myself and Jazzhead.  Speaking for myself, I don’t expect a candidate that I support to simply just roll over and be a patsy. Ronald Reagan was presidential but he knew how to define the Democratic Party and excite and draw and expand the base.

Getting into Twitter wars with porn stars and celebrities is not something people want their president to do.  Fighting for energy independence, tax cuts,  and more de regulation of the economy is what I want to see my president do and fight for

Yep

The GND will never pass. Both Democrats and Republicans know this. But the squad will try to pressure Biden into banning fracking and oil exploration on public land.

Don’t forget that there are some Democrats that are from districts that have fracking and fossil fuel exploration  that are gonna be opposed to that also

Shoould all this happen, the Republicans wouldn’t need to do much except sit back and watch the Democrats eat themselves for breakfast

They couldn't even get Obama to do that, how would they convince Biden?
