Alex is Team Trump obviously, but that doesn't make him wrong. Everyone who knows the GOP donor class knows this is true.

It is literally Kim Reynolds job to get Republicans elected to Governorships across the country. She didn't lift a finger to help Cameron.

Bucks PA was a disaster, only one major donor helped them locally.

Rest are wasting all their money trying to stop the only guy who can motivate voters to actually vote.

Republicans were drastically outspent because jokers like DeSantis & other anti-Trumpers are blowing tens of millions of dollars on failing primary races against Trump. If Trump’s primary non-challengers cared about our country, they would drop out, stop wasting money, get behind
Trump, and focus on defeating the Democrats in 2024. Sadly, DeSantis only cares about himself.

If candidates that Trump is endorsing are losing, then his endorsements are problematic and people need to reassess his political worth for the GOP.

The MAGA GOP's reactionary campaign to revoke individual rights is costing them at the polls.

The citizens of a nation founded upon individual rights and liberties are rebuking MAGA GOP attempts at tyranny.

Americans don't want to return to the Dark Ages nor Absolute Monarchy.

If Dems' energy policies and border policies weren't so backwards, Dems would be doing even better at the polls.

Come on!  @libertybele   Spit it out!!   

"You want the truth??  You can't handle the truth!!"  Colonel Jessup    :laugh:

In a word:  ABORTION!

Republicans are the stupidest political mammals on Earth.

And there are some here who want to add insult to injury by handing them another political issue...the inability to feed themselves and their family because "...the bastard Republican extremists".  Because..."Conservatism".

And expecting what??  To get re-elected in 2 to 4 years??

M.O.R.O.N.S.   **nononono*
I can handle the truth. Can you?

The problem here is that we have had generations brainwashed with the pap that an unborn child is "just a lump of cells".  Well, aren't we all?

We have reached the point where a majority of voters in many jurisdictions, if not the whole country, think that for any other reason than the physical life of the mother, it is okay to kill a baby (period!), and for some there are no limits as long as it has not been born. Others would even embrace infanticide.

What an affront to God, Himself! To destroy the most helpless, undeniably innocent, once treasured lives for the cause of prurient pleasure and convenience. No wonder the country is going in the shitter. What God, knowing us even as we were formed in that womb, would not turn away from a people who violate that same space to murder?

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. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

There won't be any debating -- if Trump is the nominee, the GOP loses.  It is rather ridiculous to assume that the odds are in his favor at winning the WH.  Some people just can't accept the idea that his time has come and gone.
True enough. Between key fraud machines and the fact that the average voter isn't much above a stumbling, stuttering, trip-up-the-steps, pants crapping moron, Biden is likely to be reelected if he runs.

Abortion is enshrined in the NY constitution so not an issue.  Focus therefore has to be on all the other issues - which republicans can win on. Food for thought?

Nothing you say is wrong.  But, relying on the government to change the narrative and help open God's gifts of life is.

It's time to understand where this battle is to be won, and it's not at the ballot box.

Right?  Either it's ok to kill babies, or it isn't.  Really not a lot of wiggle room there in an honest person's morals.

First, there's all the money Trump has spent attacking them, which goes unmentioned in the article.

But second, the only reason they have that money in the first place is because of donors who liked them personally enough to donate to their Presidential campaigns.  There's no indication that those donors would have put their money in the specific elections last night if they hadn't donated to DeSantis, Haley, etc..

Bullshit.  It is literally Kim Reynolds' job to act as Governor of Iowa.  It's Ronna McDaniel's job to get Republicans elected.  And the only thing she has managed to do is to triple her salary as GOP Chair since Trump picked her.

This is the problem facing the GOP

It's from early this year but, based on the election results we've seen since 2018, it's relevant



MAGA movement’ widely unpopular, new poll finds
Just 24% of Americans surveyed have positive views of the Make America Great Again movement in a new national NBC News poll.

By Bridget Bowman

President Donald Trump is still unpopular and so is the political movement created in his image, according to a new national NBC News poll.

The Make America Great Again, or ‘MAGA,’ movement, which takes its name from Trump’s first campaign slogan, was the least popular individual or group tested in the new survey. Just 24% of Americans have positive views of the movement, while 45% voice negative views.

How much money did Trump spend to help Republicans win?  The Democrats were awash in cash thanks to leftover Covid money, thanks to Trump.

What individual right?

To Life, Liberty, or the pursuit of happiness?

Or are you claiming an individual right to kill another unique and defenseless individual?

Talk about medieval, when slaughter and mayhem were every bit as popular.

The right to kill babies in the womb is a 'right' of convenience, cooked up by (male) politicians and philanderers to dispose of the results of their illicit unions, and sold by that (dare I say it?) patriarchy to keep their CV shiny for public consumption or the next election.

It was either that, or drive the Oldsmobile off the bridge.

Even the royalty of Europe acknowledged their bastards.

Let me stop you right there.  Truth, logic, and reason have nothing to do with it.  This is typical Trumpspeak, formulated on the first emotional idea that pops up in some Trump zealot's head with zero thought as to whether it is true.  And then it gets repeated by another Trump zealot, again with no regard as to whether it is true, much less as to how stupid it makes the person look who said or repeated it.

GOP flips New York seat held by Democrats for 20 years: 'Political earthquake'
Republicans now control all countywide seats in Suffolk, Nassau counties
By Andrew Mark Miller Fox News
Published November 8, 2023 5:25pm EST

Republicans on Long Island, New York, scored a historic victory on Tuesday night, solidifying gains they have made in the area and providing a small bright spot in an otherwise disappointing night nationwide.

Republican Ed Romaine defeated Democrat Dave Calone on Tuesday to become the first Republican to win the Suffolk County executive position in 20 years.

Romaine won with 56% of the vote by a margin of 26,000 votes, The Associated Press projected.

Romaine’s victory gives Republicans commanding control on the eastern part of Long Island, where the GOP occupies all the countywide seats in Nassau and Suffolk counties as well as all four congressional seats.

I also heard the Bronx elected a Republican for the first time in decades, to a city council seat.

That in itself is pretty amazing.

But it still doesn't make up for the losses. Upstate, Mark Poloncarz broke an unofficial three-term limit and got re-elected despite being complicit in Cuomo's abuses of power (and dodging the mandates in private), despite completely botching a blizzard response last Christmas, despite forcing an unpopular billion-dollar stadium deal only to see its tenant fall out of Super Bowl contention right afterward.

It seems the most evil people have the most support in the political realm and always seem to get elected.

This on top of the fact that we still have made no progress on the a-word issue, in fact, we continue to go backward it seems.
