Let’s be perfectly clear, fellow conservatives. 2021 started off on a poor note.
Two hazardously progressive lawmakers are headed to the United State Senate to give the Democrats a slim majority. Minimizing this reality will not furnish a beneficial outcome, nor will submitting to the notion that the left is not actually serious about their espoused platform. That platform includes providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants; repealing economy-stimulating tax cuts; moving forward with public-option healthcare; eliminating the filibuster; conferring statehood on Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico; and packing the highest court in the land with progressive judges.
Senate, the Republican party is at war with itself.

Agree with #1 - the GOPe lost me when they sat on their hands and did nothing to help Trump overcome a stolen election.

Trump should lead the charge for a new party. Not a 3rd party, but one to
remove the GOP. It will require also a new media.

Old Root & Branch McConnell not honoring his promise to repeal Obamacare; Paul Ryan purposely squandered House majority to Build the Wall, roll back benefits to Illegals, H1-bs, etc. Gave up on RINOs a while back, was funny to see Karl Rove & GA Rinos Perdue and inside-trader Loeffler begging for money in Texas.....ain't gonna happen. Louie Gohmert gets $, maybe a few others - DeSantis is doing a good job. Nikki 'Bush3' Haley ain't gonna get off the blocks - she can ask 'Big John' Bushie Cornyn for funding from however Turtle is making him wealthy for selling out Texas.

The GOP is not leaving Trump supporters behind- we are leaving the party. The first thing we should do is register as independents.

The fake republicans showed us who they support....themselves....not the people or Trump....the party left us before we left them...their only goal is to be re-elected. The fake republicans proved they despise the 74 million Trump voters .The non Trump supporters are all Romney republicans.....

Wait a minute, this surrender monkey writes for a so-called conservative web site? Main message in article, Orange Man Bad, there was no election coup, all you chumps who voted for President Trump need to move on and continue being patsies of the republican wing of the communist death democrats party. Doesn't this idiot look at all the totalitarian censorship already being unleased by the commie death democrats? And there not in total power yet.
Whether you are smart enough to realize it Kaminsky, you are on their elimination list. Wake up Fool, there is no more GOP.

Take #7's advice and switch to Independent, I did it five days ago. The GOP will see a drastic drop in number of Republican voters nationwide and, as usual, get that blank stupid look on their faces.

I have the very real feeling that the next time they do a survey of how many people call themselves "Republicans", they are going to discover that the number has dropped by about 70,000,000.
With the way the Republi-can't Party stabbed President Trump in the back and gave him no support in his fight for justice from all the vote cheating and stealing in November, they are clearly dead to many of us.
I will still support the few good strong conservatives that run as Republicans. But the party is dead to me!!!!!

They don't need us. They have made that clear. They need soft Democrats.
With soft Dems they can be in office, get benefits, be #2, and have no worries.
RINO always did mean Dem Lite. Tastes great, no content.

2021 will be the year the Trump voters jettison the GOP/Rinos--
They are not needed any longer. The Primaries of 2022 is the time to begin getting rid of the RINO candidates, and beating entrenched incumbents who do not represent their conservative base will be difficult, but must be done. Over turning the House a la 2010 is in order as well, but we must energize the local, county and state parties to reclaim our election law that was taken away by lawyers using Covid as an excuse to circuvent the laws on the books.
This will be a long game, and infighting amongst ourselves cannot be tolerated-- THEY who seek to undermine our individual liberties or those who GO ALONG witt those people are the ones we must defeat.

Make no mistake the GOP won't be leaving Trump voters behind , at 74+ million strong we'll be leaving the GOP behind. I've already left the republican party and while I've never advocated a third party I'm starting to feel the time might be ripe for that. We could call it the Federalist Party and without much prodding 74 million Trump voters would sign up in a heartbeat. Oh yeah.......RINOs need not apply.....Hear that Mitt?

Now Gabe think this through for a second. It is the policy, the threat that the policy poses to those with everything to lose by an America first agenda. No matter who becomes the standard bearer, they will unleash their holy hellfire upon them.

The GOP might not want to ask for help from this sanctimonious jackass. I’m not sure who his target audience is but he can save the lectures. Not interested.

I have returned EVERY fund raising attempt RNC and GOP have sent to me since 2016. I scrawl all over it and send it back in their own envelope: ''Not One More Dime,'' and ''You have treated Mr. Trump like crap.'' I would love to see both organizations declare bankruptcy.

Trump was a popular guy until he came to lead the Republican party. They hate on him for being GOP and will do same for any other candidate. The opinion that it is his style holding him back is just weakness. They didn't like Bush Sr., completely polite and conventional and they made fun of that. They didn't like W, much like his dad but with a Texas nuance. Said he was going to push Grandma over the cliff in her wheelchair. Didn't like Romney, didn't like McCain, now they don't like Trump and no matter whom you pick it will be same. Hold your ground then for the guy who DID actually raise incomes, reduce income gap, increase employment among African-Americans and Latinos. he is much more defensible than any other candidate.

No. They can't. The trouble is that all the Republicans know, can now see, that they have been lied to by Republican leadership all these years. We trusted them. Now they have violated that trust.
Think you can put that toothpaste back in the tube?

Good. The Republican Party has betrayed and abandoned Free Americans. It needs to die as swiftly and mercilessly as possible. America needs a real party, not a cheap copy of the Democrats. Georgia is what happens when you vote for the lesser of two evils. You get despicable candidates like Loeffler, Romney, Alexander, Sasse, Graham - too long to list them all.
I will never vote for a Republican. US elections are the most corrupt in the world. My vote is too valuable to let it be stolen by a filthy Democrat machine.
Politics will never resolve the struggle for Freedom against totalitarian socialism.

Just read the comments on this article on the website and you will see the self righteous screeds of Romney-like conservatives. They call Trump every evil name and mis-characterize those who voted for him.

To sound repetitive too late. The honest constitutional politicians in congress can probably be counted on your hands. The rest both parties are a crime syndicate preying off our country. They just railroaded the peoples president elected by the people to clean up the corruption out by treason and sedition. They have locked control of the election process now to never have a mistake like president trump or the constitution conservatives again. We r not far from venezuela except we have lots of guns and ammo. The only way back may be the collapse and revolution. Its a shame that we have so many of the people that hate liberty. Just cant understand that one.

The real establishment GOP RINO situation was created at the State Republican Party level, as that’s where every GOP RINO now in DC was nominated. Those RINO’s when running for office in their home States profess to be conservatives and then after they get to DC immediately become subservient to the leftist and liberal Democrats in many respected are simply cowardly and wimpy. It’s the same with the election and voting irregularities that ensured that Trump would be defeated. That occurred because those State level GOP entities sat on their hands and allowed the Democrats to send operatives into their States and file a huge number of lawsuits using COVID as an excuse, resulting in activist liberal judges and elected office holders changing election and voting laws to the favor of the Democrats without the consent of State legislatures, especially allowing mail in ballots in huge numbers that were then accepted and counted without requiring suitable verification that those ballots were actually completed by lawfully qualified voters. Then there was the very complicated workings of computerized electronic voting machines and the software that operated them, that many felt and still suspect could be manipulated through built in software back doors that allowed large numbers of Trump votes to be internally shifted to Biden. While it is up to the State legislatures to come up with secure election and voting laws and procedures, Trump has said that he intends to campaign against GOP RINO’s when they are running for re-election in State level Republican primary elections. Those are the only ways to make the changes necessary to give legitimate and strong Republican conservatives a chance to win future elections and to staff the Congress in the future.
