The best thing about Conservatism is logic. It’s the movement of the masses because truth talks, b.s. walks.
I’m seeing a “theme” argument that we need to keep a boatload of traitors demonstrated to do nothing and/or betray us because we can’d demand perfection.
They’re all we have.
And pushing is all WE have. That is our JOB.
If OUR representation doesn’t do what WE ask … then do we run to… Pelosi?
If your own representation betrays you, exactly where do you go?
What happens when you get shot in your house at close range by your own rather than from a distance with a cop protecting you and shooting back at the perp?
Conseratives don’t make gods of men. Yes we have higher standards but accept flaws so that’s a straw man argument.
We are looking for heroes, yes. NOT perfection otherwise dull but heroic De Santis, the playboy billionaire Trump, and King David and his human failings would not be lionized as greatnemss. You can have flaws but be a righteous warrrior and that is enough. More than enough, it is greatness.
Essentially — they want us to accept full on betrayals when that is the only reason we are in this mess because all our sleazy politicians have to do is fight the hated Left and we would win. The country actually dumped the blues EN MASSE over the past cycles yet OUR SIDE are the ones who will NOT allow the people an alternative to madness and our rights, country, votes and voice.
Rand has the ability to fight. For some reason never does in the form of action. And there is something wrong with that in a purposeful way because he is too smart and feisty when he wants to be to fail 100% of the time.
Yeah, because he could’ve easily gotten 240+ GOP’ers to vote along with him to get the US out of the UN or audit the fed, which he sponsored. He just didn’t really want to. The other guys are blameless. Yeesh.
By that standard, it’s Trump’s fault that the GOP didn’t investigate the obvious vote fraud. Therefore, dump Trump! Got it.
Dr. Paul pushed for legislation declaring an unborn baby a person. What did Dr. Paul hear from so- called pro-life congresscritters and organizations … crickets.

Be nice in victory President Trump, we need Senator Paul in our corner.
I’m growing weary of Trump’s narcism and heavy-handed touch. And I have never been an acolyte of Clan Paul.
Here’s reality: PDJT may have fought but he lost. By his own standard he is not a winner. I don’t care about fixed elections and all the rest when adopting this vantage point. His constant ego needs get in the way of deft leadership. He can’t resist derailing the primary agenda by wandering off into these sideshow ad hominem excursions. He never cleaned house early on.
Mr President – no matter how one cuts it – we’re dealing with worse now than before in part because YOU failed.
You are right – it is about winning. And if you can’t do it – I will find someone else to vote for.
I love how the trolls use their “real” names in order to make what they say seem more ‘authentic’.

I trust Rand’s picks more than Trumps. Let’s face it, his political picks have not been very conservative or MAGA: SCOTUS, Bar? Anne Culture called it out years ago. Trump is still pluming the depths of treachery in the system.

Texas US House District 6 Representative Ronald Wright (R) died of Chinese Cootie (or JAB?) and DJT endorsed his wife in special election. Texas state rep, former USN fighter pilot and SWA pilot won with 53% of the vote. Who is picking these goofy MAGA support candidates ?
This isn’t something I would gloat over. Trump’s history of picks has certainly proven to be 85%+ crap. More and more when you ignore the trivial bantering and look at the actual results he’s simply giving us more neocons.
I honestly don’t think the man understands the the party he is dealing with.
Yeah I know… I’m a bad person for paying attention vs been swooned by BS.
If Trump is trying to split his base, he couldn’t do a better job. Keep pimping the jab and no one will remember MAGA in 2023

Wow… I am APPALLED at the responses on here bashing the rightful President, Trump. We would never know HALF of what we know now had it not been for him sacrificing his lifestyle and family to lead our country… and LEAD HE DID… AND HE DID SO BEAUTIFULLY.
I laugh at these posters on here who armchair quarterback and think that one man could save us. And certainly they all sound like THEY could do a better job? Right. If you could do a better job, what ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW to make things better???!!!
Take your criticisms and shove them. If you are not playing for our conservative MAGA team – then you’re on the other side. Decepticons have invaded the Conservative Treehouse. It’s okay, most of us are intelligent enough to recognize you fools. Try not to trip us as we ride into battle to save your sorry butts.
Agree completely. The problem was NOT Trump. The problem was Mitch McConnell, the RNC, and Paul Ryan. The Senate Republicans sabotoged Trump every day he was in office. The REFUSED to allow him recess appointments. They REFUSED To fund the wall They helped the D’s slow-roll and stop many of his Cabinet nominees. They also boxed him in with the Russia Collusion fraud. How much time/effort did Trump have to waste on that? And once that went down, he had Impeachment No. 1 to deal with. And he had people like Sessions and Barr who apparently either lied to his face (Barr) or were weak and incompetent. How many of these people were willing to fall on their sword for Trump? Almost none of them.
I think we would have seen a different Trump if he had won in 2021 and had a Republican house. But that was not to be. They stole the election by any means neccessary, and Kemp, the Az Governor, Mitch and Senate Repubicans were A-OK with it.
And you are a fool for castigating people whose backgrounds, experience and skillsets you have no knowledge of.
Your attitude is precisely the losing one – it is exclusionist, uninformed and, surprise surprise – unbelievably shallow. Coalitions win wars. If you are too dense to understand that you deserve the current predicament we are all saddled with. I play to win. If the strategy, operations and tactics aren’t working I (and millions others) will adapt to circumstances and adjust.
Your battle metaphors are comical. Here’s reality – you aren’t saving me or anyone else (said I as a retired warfighter). You are mouthing cliches. Cliches absent preferred outcomes.
Oh no, we’re back to the “We need a big tent” and “No more purity tests”. Good God man, have you been a cave for 5 years? Paul needs to be criticized because he wasted $1 million when Trump had already picked the MAGA candidate in that race.
We need people who will support MAGA not bash Trump. Bashing Trump is NOT “Building colitions” or doing anything to MAGA. Let me say this about Paul, if he’d put his money where his mouth was, there would have been no Trump in 2015. And please tell me where Paul was when Trump needed help on the wall or Trump-Russia or restricting immigration or Election fraud?
I’m not bashing Trump – I see what most others see. One doesn’t ignore reality – which includes character flaws. More importantly, this isn’t about the man (sounds rather Obama-ish truth be told) but outcomes.
Big Tent intentionally misconstrues the point. This isn’t a holy crusade in which only PDJT believers participate. If it were, it would wither on the vine the moment PDJT is no longer an actor in this high drama. This is about core values, principles and preserving a form of government that prizes individual rights over collective (or ascendent tribal) “feelings/culture” (as post-modernists would have it). The MAGA “movement” comprises multiple, not always congruent, constituencies – that should be obvious. Are you really saying that MAGA is Trump? If so, the battle is already lost.
I’m actually not tossing PDJT over the rail. I have been around senior leadership in many venues during my life. He suffers from shoot self in foot syndrome that is easily avoidable. That said, the stakes are too high to eternally forgive the errors. I know many very successful people who voted for PDJT who feel the same way.
There was absolutely no gain in questioning Paul’s preferred candidate. As for “But I like him a lot anyway” – who cares? They plan on dating? This is mind boggling, un-edifying, high school yearbook dithering.
PDJT is at his best pushing policies that reach to the heart of what his voters believe/advocate, highlighting the hypocrisies/verities of the real threats and working to build constituencies where they did not previously exist by directly attacking their problems with viable solutions. To twist a phrase, incessant “atta-mes” can undo a thousand attaboys.

It was a given after the crowd erupted for him at that Rally, he would win. Rand Paul, does his own thing with zero focus on the MAGA. Yet I know zero about this Mike Carey guy, he maybe ok and he may not. Trump has not always got it correct in the past. Look at that piece of McConnell helping the Leftist Destroy the USA. Trump put him back in.

At the end of the day, Rand Paul along with the rest of the GOP Senators worked with Mitch McConnell to prevent President Trump from making any recess appointments during the last 4 years.

Jeez, who let all these Chinese bots into the treehouse? I guess they were all triggered by the word “Trump.”
China is a nation of uneducated peasants who cling to communism because enslaving the productive people in order to support the parasites is the only way most Chinese can survive.
Trump’s playful “told ya so” to Paul doesn’t diminish either of them.
The Chinese are eating our lunch. I supported Trump’s actions vis China down the line. But do not underestimate the Chinese. That would be a cardinal error.
Bot…bot…he doth protest too much!

Right on, Falana
Talkin trash is a big part of Donald Trump’s game.
All talk. No action.
Daddy Ron, for years, spouted on about “Getting the US out of the UN”. The NRA gave him tons of free publicity over that.
When it eventually wore out, he switched to “Audit the Fed.” That never happened either.
Randy is just following in his father’s footsteps.
Yeah, because he could’ve easily gotten 240+ GOP’ers to vote along with him to get the US out of the UN or audit the fed, which he sponsored. He just didn’t really want to. The other guys are blameless. Yeesh.

Really? who has Rand ever picked? And given his personal actions have been losers for us, I don’t trust him.
Rand picked to back McTurtle over Matt Blevins who had a real shot of knocking off Mitch in the primaries.
