Do Republicans want to win?

So far my impressions of the primary run ups for both the dems and republicans (Primary, May 17th) is that the republicans are not serious about anything relevant to winning. The dems, as usual, are mouthing off about the need to increase social security and medicare because of rising costs (spend money you don't have to cut inflation, neat). Also some ambiguous talk of fighting climate change.

The republicans - sort of a hope and change message without any actual content. Oh, and they aren't Kate Brown. No hard hitting Lee Atwater style messaging. Nothing on closing the border, nothing substantive about law and order and the rising crime and murder rate, nothing about parents and education, nothing about lockdowns and mandates destroying thousands of Oregon and Portland business. Oh, and nothing substantive on the homeless epidemic or fentanyl. Looks like some more high character losses.

    If you run on nothing what's your mandate if you win?

    Cocaine Mitch likes the way things are way too much to change it. That’s why he doesn’t want to spend money or time on Walker in GA. He’d rather Warnock than Walker.

    Mitch McConnell Donates to Liz Cheney as Liz Cheney Courts Democrats For Her Primary Bid
    —Ace
    Conservatism will be weak and deformed until this corrupt, China-loving, corporate-dick-sucking turtle-ugly Dixiecrat is gone.


    The ringleader of the establishment Republicans, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), announced on Thursday a donation to Democrat ally Rep. Liz Cheney's (R-WY) reelection campaign.
    Cheney, who is no longer recognized as a Republican by the Wyoming GOP, has received a campaign contribution from the Senate GOP leader, McConnell told Axios. When asked if he will hold a fundraiser or other campaign event with Cheney, McConnell redirected the conversation back to his lane of Senate business.

    McConnell and Cheney apparently believe the Wyoming member may lose her seat to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman, a strong threat to the establishment Republican order in Washington, DC. With Hageman catching momentum heading into the August 16 GOP primary, former President George Bush has also donated the legal maximum amount to Cheney. McConnell and Bush are joined in their support of Cheney by failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney (R-UT). In March, Romney delivered a speech at a closed fundraiser for the embattled Cheney.

    The Wyoming race has become a proxy war between the establishment and conservative Republicans.

    And, as usual: the Establishment Republicans are partnering up with the liberal Democrats to deny conservative Republicans a win.

    What impact on democracy do you believe Hillary’s Russian collusion fraud, along with the spying and undermining of a legitimately elected President by the opposition party along with their supporters in the permanent bureaucracy had on democracy Dazzler?

    Then toss in the collusion of big tech, the MSM and the unelected national security state to throttle any story that might harm their preferred candidate, all of which you wildly supported.

    Was that good or bad for democracy Dazzler?

    You don’t give a fuck about democracy Dazzler, why even pretend you do?

    Still working on that Russian state narrative, Dazzler?

    You can submit it in this thread too

    Or hide like a cunt.

    You should do the world a great service and rid it of your DNA.

    Paperthin hyperbole can run rampant, but everything you disagree with requires irrefutable evidence?

    Anything Bush, Romney and McConnell agree on is probably bad for America, and assuredly terrible for conservatives. Cheney is both. The uniparty grift is a powerful drug.
