2022 Midterms: No Stink on the Republican Establishment?
By J. Robert Smith

Attacks on Donald Trump have begun in the aftermath of the midterm elections.  We should have set our watches.  Washington’s Republican establishment is pushing the line that the GOP’s underperformance in the midterms is “100%” Trump’s fault.  Of course, there’s no stink on D.C. Republicans -- not Kevin McCarthy, not Mitch McConnell, not Ronna McDaniel, not Tom Emmer (chairman, RNCC), not GOP consultants and pollsters…  Not on any Republican who hangs out at the Capitol Hill Club.   

Conservatives shouldn’t be goaded into a Trump versus DeSantis fight.  Trump and DeSantis shouldn’t permit themselves to be baited, either.  It’s so transparent, it’s laughable.  That’s exactly what the establishment is trying.  Washington Republicans don’t intend to just knock out Trump, but split conservatives.  Is that rank odor wafting through the air from Karl Rove and Jeb! lurking behind the curtains?   

No stink on the insiders.  Nope.  Just Trump.  Washington’s favorite game is in full swing: The Blame Game.  Republicans play it as viciously as Democrats.  It’s one of D.C.’s charms.   

The long knives are aimed at Trump because he remains the Republican establishment’s nemesis.  The aforementioned “players,” among many others, don’t like their apple carts upset.  Why, they get all touchy about that.  Trump the disrupter, Trump the change agent -- not good for business.  And make no mistake, in D.C., it’s all about business.  Show me the money, baby!

Has the GOP establishment done enough yet to prove they will happily accept defeat  --- indeed, promote it ---- for the majority of Republican voters to believe it?  The establishment WILL get what it wants, one way or the other.  "Uniparty"  is more than clever, it's reality.

From time to time, a Briefer will post how upset he or she still is over how successful the establishment was in crushing the Tea Party. What does anyone truly think is going on with MAGA?  They will accept total defeat in 2024 if MAGA ends with it. 

Any Republican thrown against Trump will be approved by McConnell and Ryan.  The candidate will sign on the dotted line in return for what McConnell/Ryan can provide:  Congressional support, battles defined by and won in the media, and money ---- buckets and buckets of money.

The Repubican candidate given the mantle "can win" by the GOP establishment will be the surrogate for Mitch McConnell.

We need to stop jumping from emotional cue to emotional cue like trained seals and focus on our actual choice:  Mitch McConnell or Donald Trump.  Which of these two do we prefer sits behind the Resolute desk?

House majority now in question, Kevin McCarthy has to be deposed. Completely corrupt and incompetent. If you can’t win in this environment, you can’t lead.
