There is a strange dynamic with professionally political punditry and political media where they project claims that are the exact opposite of the reality. Often this is done simply to try and sway public opinion on an issue, to change and/or control the perception of the public, and sometimes it is successful.
Highlighting this false projection, a common refrain against President Trump has been that he limits the scale of support possible for Republican candidates. In reality, the exact opposite is true and evident in the data. It is President Trump who holds more public support than any Republican candidate, and they all ride his coattails.
When you really think about this dynamic, it centers the Machiavellian attacks against Trump by small professionally Republican pundits and candidates. Take the recent example of battleground state Pennsylvania as an example:
President Trump is beating Joe Biden in this battleground state poll by 6 points. However, the Republican Senate candidate, Dave McCormick, is running 7 points behind the Democrat Bob Casey. The combined margin of difference is 13 points, or put another way – Trump pulls more support within the state than the Republican Party.
The Pennsylvania reality shows the scale of how much the Republican Party is now the party of Donald Trump. The dynamic makes sense, because the overwhelming majority of middle class average Americans align with the policy agenda simply known as “America First.”
The distance between the Trump support base and the support base of the overall Republican Party is considerable. Thus, if we can remove the larger influence of the corporate Republican apparatus from the RNC and party apparatus, the ranks of the new Trump era Republican Party will grow.
A new larger tent brand of Republican exists in the MAGAnomic policy, the economic policy of Trump that expands the wealth of the average American. Thanks to the MAGA influence, the RNC/GOPe party of old crony capitalists and vulture hedge fund owners is diminishing rapidly. The Wall Street tribe now assembles with the Democrats and the Main Street tribe now assembles with Trump republicanism.
That’s the dynamic we also see in the latest polling from Maine. Statewide, Donald Trump now leads Joe Biden by six points [Trump: 38% (+6), Biden: 32%], where only a few short months ago Biden was leading by one. The congressional districts highlight the changing electoral dynamic:
CD1
Biden: 39% (+8)
Trump: 31%
Other: 23%
CD2
Trump: 45% (+20)
Biden: 25%
Other: 19%

Why the big shift? It’s the economic issues. Look at the priorities:
Sundance, in light of your reflections on the republican party brand, isn’t it time to completely break away to a new party? Don’t the truths you present substantiate the foul smell that emanates from the “Republican Party” moniker?
Better yet, return the Republican Party to the party of Abraham Lincoln and the American System of Political Economy:
1. A National Bank with a National System of Public Credit to finance infrastructure improvements, domestic manufacturing, and domestic innovation.
2. Tariffs on foreign goods and services to protect and promote domestic manufacturing and services.
3. Govt of the People, by the People, and for the People, not Govt for the Bankster Bastards, International Corporations, and Globalist Fascists!

This might be worth reading too.
Michael Hudson has an article entitled The Use and Abuse of MMT. Here are some excerpts.
“Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) was developed to explain the logic of running government budget deficits to increase demand in the economy’s consumption and capital investment sectors so as to maintain full employment…. Instead, government money creation and Quantitative Easing have been directed to the finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE) sectors. The result is a travesty of MMT, not its original aim.”
“A key point in its revival was Warren Mosler’s insight that a currency-issuing country does not “tax to spend”, but instead must spend before its citizens can pay tax in that currency….. Elaboration of this approach showed how such deficits created stability instead of the instability that results from private-sector debt dynamics.”
“To advocates of MMT, and indeed to most post-Keynesian economists, the positive function of budget deficits is to spend money and therefore income into the economy. And by “the economy” is meant the production-and-consumption sector, not the financial and property markets.”
“Money is debt. Government money creation for public purposes – to pay for employment and output – spurs prosperity. But in its present form, private-sector debt creation has become largely extractive, and thus leads to the opposite effect: debt deflation.”
“To the extent that public debt results from spending that supports output, employment and growth, this process is not inflationary.”
I never conceived of government debt as something positive. I think Hudson says somewhere that budget deficits are not expected to be repaid. If so, money for budget deficits should be created without the creation of debt. Why pay a trillion dollars in interest on $34 trillion in debt that is never to be repaid? Just wondering.
Your hired.
Nonsense read Austrian economics by Mises Keynesianism and MMT is total Harmful BS.
The average tariff from 1860 to 1913 was 43%. This was the time frame of the greatest industrialized growth in history. All the economics students grasp their pearls when it is brought up. I never did see any economics students transfer to the physics department.
The economics students didn’t transfer into physics, but they did take over aircraft design at Boeing 737Max.
The GOP is being rebuilt from within. The old guard has no oomph anymore.
Let’s Roll.
The corrupt “leadership” of this party has declared war on it’s voter base.
Why on earth should we ever surrender to these parasites!!!
THIS IS OUR PARTY NOW! And if they can’t find the door we’ll find it for them!
SING it, Brother!
amen!
I agree! I kind of like the visual of kicking the corrupt rinos to the curb.
We don’t need a new party. We are taking our party back.
Drive them out!
Many are still pretending that a hostile takeover of the GOP, financed and controlled by people with the civility of hyenas, morals of demons, and more wealth than any group of 50 million average income earners, is going to happen. It’s going to take something new, politically, to eradicate the current band of parasites currently embedded in our governments throughout America.
I agree. The take over and reform the republican party was a central argument when Reagan was running for president, and things have only gotten worse since then.
I think of the Republican party in terms of food: butterscotch pudding that smells delicious, is nice and warm and gooey, but when you actually sit down to savor a bowl of it, totally devoid of flavor or nutrition – and no d@m good. Just my opinion, FWIW.
Nanner pudding
Its unbelievable the snarky and uppity emails i get from RNC seeking campaign donations!
Replacing the people involved with the corruption accomplishes that. We can’t mistake an organizations name as being the same as those who have befouled it.
The current situation is/has been beyond politics for quite sometime; listen to TC’s interview with Xi Van Fleet, for example.
WE own the Republican Party. It is now the MAGA party, the Trump party, the America First party. At least, it’s base is. Why shouild WE leave? Let those who oppose us leave. It’s OURS now.
Why do conservatives always find themselves in the position of either playing defense or quietly retreating? Isn’t that how we got here in the first place?
Get rid of McConnell, Graham and Cornyn would be a good start.
And Thune.
Idiot voters keep on re-electing them.
Do we honestly? Or is it that the constant election fraud helps keep the RINOs in power and that is why they are so keen on ignoring it.
I wouldn’t go to the bank on that assumption. Especially considering what we now know about corruption and manipulation of the election processes by BOTH parties over the past 20 to 35 years.
No one decent runs against Cornyn…
Cornyn isn’t up for election until 2026. We have time to look. An unemployed dog catcher would do.
While true, it’s a bit more complicated than that.
Take NC as an example. Tillis is a pure back stabbing swamp rat. But no one primaries him. So the choice in the general election is him or an Anti American democrat. I think this is the same case in many other states.
These incumbent RINOs are hard to dislodge. Death or retirement is the only way you can have a shot at replacing them.
Death it is then…
To be completely honest, you would have to remove pretty much the entire batch of Republicans in the senate to make a difference. All play different roles in the charade, but when rubber meets the road, they are all in on the deception.
Speaking at CPAC last week, Ohio Senator JD Vance basically said the same thing.
Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville pointed out someone is going to get hurt with boys competing on girls teams.
JD Vance
Rand Paul
Mike Lee
Good men.
Mike “H1-B” Lee, the senator from Mumbai.
100% agree
Exactly
Their strategy is part of a self-aggrandizing plan. They are not working for us.
Serious question. If we own it. Can we change its name?
I hear you, and I think I understand your sentiment. However, there is so much erasing of history and “where we came from” going on right now that I am extremely hesitant to do something like that. The Republican Party is part of our national political evolution.
Why would we. We are a Republic and the name Republican denotes that.
The Constitution states:
Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
So much ignorance of what a political party actually IS, how its formed and functions, what is the glue that holds it together, etc.
And it is this ignorance on the part of WE (the Base) and a thorough understanding of the power dynamics by the RINOS, that has had us “spinning our wheels” in our attempts to wrest control of the party AWAY from the RINOS, going back at least to the ’60’s, when we called them “Rockerfeller Republicans”.
Goldwater,, begat Reagan, Bucchanan, Perot, Ron Paul, and finally Tea Party and MAGA with Trump.
All iterations of the same fundamental ‘natural’ urge going back to the original “new Republicans” that founded the party, and then for expedience made a “deal with the devil” and joined with the Whigs.
MOST Republican voters still don’t attend their local Republican party monthly meetings, and are unaware of their County and State Conventions, and even if they have contact info for their elected PUBLIC officials, they have no idea who is on their State R paries Executive committee.
They focus their attention and ire on elected PUBLIC officials, at the expence of focusing on elected PARTY officials, on NATIONAL rather than State, and then bemoan how “nothing ever changes” decide “its hopeless” and bail out by re-registering as “no party affiliation” so they can really show the Republican party, and get the emotional gratification of declaring they are “Independents” thereby relinquishing any political power.
The Big Ugly war for the soul and control of the Republican party has been an ongoing low grade scirmish, for 60+ years that I have lived, and it is the other side that has consistently managed to deflect and deflate, and so keep it low grade.
I was very involved in 2 different states. One state was absolutely hopeless (Minnesota) and I lived in a very red area on the fringe of the twin ciites. The other is my home state now – Tennessee. I was involved in the local GOP women’s group – Williamson County. OMG – they were like being around a field of McConnells. We had finally pushed through a great local chair but he wasn’t the “right” kind. He was an entertainment attorney, homeschooled his 6 children and was anti-China back around 2008ish. Anyway, they forced him out after a year.
After expending much energy and work after 6 years I finally drifted off to other pastures. I’m not even a member any longer. Oh, they really didn’t like the Tea Party either. I will say though I did meet a core group of great women.
I would t spend two minutes with a band of Williamson County politics minded women.
We have no one in the party leadership that is worth a damn or who cares one whit about fixing anything. We have zero people in the senate focusing on anything important and most of which would sabotage President Trump in a second, or help with impeachment where he to win again. We have almost no one in the US house. Most of the governors are working against us. 100 percent of the efforts to stop voter fraud comes from individual groups not associated with the Republican Party. If this party was actually ours, one would think that we would have a tad bit more success.
The truth is that having the majority of the voters means little. We can continue to fight for control of this party as we have since prior to Reagan unsuccessfully, or we can build something else from the ground up. Both options suck and will be hard, but there are some buildings that are just too rotted out to save. The only solution is to raze it to the ground and build it again.
I don’t see the point of doing that. We needed a new party, we have it, in the Republican MAGA party and along with that we will inherit all the party apparatus already established nationwide. Replacing old party Republicans with MAGA Republicans has proven easier than coming up with a new party just for the sake of doing so. America is a Republic I think the name Republican perfectly represents that as does the name Democrat perfectly represent a Democracy which we are not.
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams –
It’s a one party system disguised as a two-party system.
Cue the “ballot access” counter-argument. Yes, that is a challenge. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Even if the “Just get rid of the Rinos” strategy and/or Precinct Strategy might work after many years of trying, the country may be irreparably off the cliff by then. But I don’t think Rinos and Uniparty in general is the problem–it is a bad, inevitable, perpetual symptom of deeper systemic problems revolving around the fact that politics is money-driven. The Mega-Donor Class and the Deep State control politicians and policies, whether by bribery or blackmail. I’m all for breaking off from the GOP and a forming a new party even though it may require writing in candidates. That is, provided sufficient addressment of the corruptive demons in the $ystem (e.g., no stock trading while in office, campaign finance reform, criminalize money laundering masked as foreign aid, term limits, etc.) are at the top of this “reformist” party’s platform agenda. Otherwise, they’d just end up Uniparty like the Dems and GOP. Such a new party with such systemic reforms as needed would provide a clear line of delineation for voters between such a party and the Uniparty. I mean, no matter how much a fresh new GOP candidate sounds Maga, it’s almost overnight before they start to become corrupted by the $ystem.
Keep the GOP name, ballot position and assets but expel the RINOs, DIRCs Globalists, Crony-Corporatists, War-pigs and other parasites. Make THEM go form a third-party. Maybe they can revive the old Whig party.
The goP needs to go away. It’s MAGA now.
When you knock the facade off of the Potempkin village, There isn’t much left.
Nixon was elected by the largest margin in history.
The deep state ushered him out of office anyway.
Nixon quit when the going got tough. Sorry, but he should have stayed and slugged it out. He resigned “for the good of the country, to not put it through an impeachment,” or something like that. REAL meaning: he surrendered. Screw him, and his little dog, too.
Trump 2024
Never back down.
Well, thats simplistic.
The deep state targeted him, and I don’t buy for a minute it was ALL about deep throat, resentful he wasn’t given a promotion.
They baited him, and poked the bear, in order to get him to fire the prosecutor, and commit perjury so that they could drive him from office.
They tried it again with Reagan, (Irangate) mainly to destroy his legacy and then again with the “Insurance policy” against PDJT.
So, they are only 1:3, so far.
Not too long ago I watched a documentary/film called the “Martha Mitchell Effect” it showcased the outspoken Martha Mitchell and how they tried to brand her as crazy, and gaslight her into silence. The same cast of characters including her husband swooped down on her like vultures.
She was the only sane one in the bunch. Witty too.
Funny how the FBI was up to its elbows in that little situation as well.
Niccolo Machiavelli was amoral and a genius. These people are immoral and far from genius … … fortunately. Calling them Machiavellian gives them far too much credit, and they would probably take it as a complement.
McConnell. All the rest are vain, greedy, grasping idiots, Pelosi, Schumer, McCarthy, Ryan, Graham, etc.
The genius, evil genius is McConnell,…he qualifies as Machievellian, …
Unfortunately, the fix is in. Biden wins with nearly 100,000,000 votes, but is unable to attend his inauguration as it interferes with his diaper changing and nappy time.
Perhaps it is time to ask what are the benefits / advantages for ‘them’ having President Trump return to the presidency? 🤔
The benefit / advantage of unity.
The Three Letter Agencies (‘them’) would be more united in staging some kind of coup (soft or hard) against a sitting President.
That’s why a President Trump has a pen.
A president is a paper tiger without a military led by generals who are loyal to him. Trump had no such generals. He made the mistake of thinking generals all take their oath to the US Constitution and not their politics. Having never served he didn’t realize that nobody in general ranks gets their stars unless their politics align with the political power in the military. Service and fealty to the Constitution is of secondary or tertiary concern in the general ranks.
Clinton and Obama purged the brass when they took command. Trump failed to do so. He can’t make that mistake again. With a loyal military a president is a lion to be feared. He must clean house in the top brass. And the junior officer ranks are filled with Marxists, they aren’t trustworthy for shit, either. He’ll find his generals who will make him a lion to be feared in the mid-levels. The long serving officers passed over for promotion to top brass because their politics weren’t aligned with the Marxists, Fascists and Oligarchs. Who aren’t chasing jobs at Raytheon, Boeing or other military contractors. Patriots who put God and country first, who’s loyalty to the Constitution – as it was understood when it was written, not as corrupt judges interpret it to mean in a ‘living, breathing’ bastardized version – is above any and all other considerations.
Question implies they have a choice.
They are conceeding that, knowing their limitations, that they can not cheat enough to overcome a landslide, they are already laying the groundwork for their fallback position of attempting to hamstring PDJT in his second term.
I’m in Pa . McCormick helped squash the Audit that Doug Mastriano started in 2020 . I tell the guy to go to you know where when he asks for money but would hold my nose and vote for him I guess. But nobody ever asked me in a poll and I’m sure I would tell them he sucks ! But again hold my nose Election Day.
Dave McCormick has a Republican primary challenger. Her name is Brandi Tomasetti and she is running on an “America First” platform. She is a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump and was interviewed at CPAC recently. At least we have a choice.
In 2012, with Romney I realised I was in danger of experiencing terminal epistaxis (nosebleed) if I tried to hold my nose and vote, even one more time.
Just the thought of pulling the lever for Romney made me gag, and I was sure I would projectile vomit all over the polling booth, if I actually attempted to vote for mitt.
Until voting FOR DJT in 2016, my NOT voting for Mitt in 2012, was the vote I was proudest of, and the more info that has come out about Mittens since 2012, the better I feel about not voting for him.
If we keep doing what we’ve always done (holding your nose andvoting for the lesser if two weavils) we’ll keep getting what we’ve always got (a royal screwing!).
The real division in both houses of Congress is NOT R vs D, it is Uniparty (R&D) vs MAGA, so WHY are you voting for the Uniparty-R?
Because he is”better” than the Uniparty-D? HOW, pretell is McConnell Graham, or Romney any “better” than Pelosi, Schumer or AOC?
Always trust your gut, yours had a strong reaction to that human pus bag.
I held my nose for both McCain, Romney and Bush one….92 vs Clinton…Dole/Kemp was weak as well.
All made me sick to vote for…wouldn’t even put a sign in my yard for embarrassment.
But what was the alternative?
I voted for all those guys and Ford too. I didn’t vote for any of them in the Primary. What choice do you have?
If people had voted for Bush instead of Perot, no one would remember the Clintons at all. I’d call that a good trade-0ff.
Agree Dutchman. I didn’t vote for Mittons or songbird McCain. I really like Sara Palin but McStain had so destroyed her by the election I wasn’t sorry for not voting for him. I plugged my nose for Bush Jr but didn’t vote for his Daddy the 2nd time around.
In 2016 I was actually looking forward to voting for President Trump. Rushbo made the diffetence there.
I so miss Rush ;(
Thank your Ellen. I was scrolling through comments coming from humans in PA and not sure how to reply to you and Davyllee too.. Thank you for the Info re Brandi Tomasetti.
Round these parts, Doug Mastriano is a hero and is working for people in PA. And McCormick is a wanna be loser. Have to remind anyone who cares, we had Fetterman Mastriano, Oz, and Shapiro on the ballot. As far as I know it didn’t matter who PA humans really voted for. it was all worked out ahead of time how to cheat to win. And our former Attorney General Shapiro, who is now guvnor made up the voting rules all by his darn self without going through the Legislature as per PA LAW.
As far as I can ken, this Shapirpo brown nosing power hungry money grazer was bought into office into by Zuckerbucks, Sorosrot, etc. Hey, I bet he is hoping for being the next Dem VP.
Knowing that you have been ” disenfranchised” is very difficult pill to swallow. And yey verily Dutchman, I’m going to hold my nose and vote this year as I do in local elections as well.
Maybe its “hopium” on my part, but One of these years the people I consider to be good, kind, smart and believe and want to uphold their oath to to both the PA and US Constitution will win! God Bless America and all who are MAGA.
I’m going off to listen to Bruce Springsteen’s song “Streets of Philadelphia.” I love my state as much as I love my country. They are all part and parcel. A great song about being disenfranchised. Oh but he wrote that song before he lost his grip and went full Dem.
The Boss (LOL) never had a grip. The true founders of the “Jersey Sound” were John Lyon (a.k.a. Southside Johnny) and Steve (Lento) Van Zandt.
Everything is based off of trust. Trump has proven again and again that he will do what he says he will. This is seen not just by Republican voters, but also by Independents, and even a sizeable amount of Democrats. Therefore he has a massive boost to his numbers.
The republican party on the other hand has broken faith with its voters continuously for decades. There is little to no trust there. The only reason to vote for the average Republican for the last decade at least is out of fear that the Democrat would be even worse.
True.
The race card is now so tattered and failed that it’s rendered totally irrelevant.
The Lesser of Two Evils card is on track to follow it.
Yeah, and I dunno about you but I am SICK of voting for the “lesser of two evils” guy. I DEMAND the America First guy.
The RepubliCONS have gone wayyy too far. That is why the pendulum will swing back to *schlong* them all ..BIGLY.
If you vote for the lesser of two evils, even if your candidate wins, you have promoted EVIL.
A false fear, promoted and encouraged by the Uniparty, both wings.
The D wing is actually no “better” at keeping their promises to their base, either, its just that WE generally don’t pay that much attention.
For instance, the D’s held themselves out as being anti-war, the base was and is.
But the leadership in control are all in on the neocon, MIC grift.
Hence, 20-30% of Dem voters are moving to MAGA.
They are openly betraying the black and hispanic “base” with the open borders, and they are moving over, as well.
Polls simply do not matter any longer. Presidential polls are now meant to have a margin of error to explain away the cheating. If Biden is “polling” within the margin of error or even close, then his winning in a tight race can be justified. “We told you it was going to be a tight race and we all know that mail in ballots heavily favor Democrats.”
Ballot harvesting and rigged vote counting in critical swing state counties are all that matter these days.
“Polls” are total bs when they involve PDT. Nobody I know who’s in anyway conservative talks to pollsters. The real numbers are likely closer to PDT 75%
Polls are a useful tool, especially in presidential races where massive cheating is required to reach the desired outcome.
We were told that PA was a “toss-up” state and too close to call in 2020. Trump was up by 800K votes when the polls closed, but still lost. Had we all been told that Trump would win by 15 points, nearly everyone would have screamed, “stolen election!” Instead we get, “It is well known that absentee ballots skew strongly to Democrats.” And many folks believed that BS.
Exactly, ain’tI been sayin,…?
MAGA do not do polls, any who doubt can do your own poll; ask EVERY MAGA person you know, if they have participated in any polls.
They will tell you YOUR poll, is the only once since 2020, at least.
So, the polls that show PDJT up X points above Nikki or Joe, are counting the opinions of Republicans that ARE NOT MAGA, because otherwise they would have self-excluded.
And yes, imagine what the #’s would be, if MAGA DID participate!
I think these guys have a solution to the Ballot harvesting.
Patriot Streetfighters Show Republicans How To Win in 2024https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/patriot-streetfighters-show-how-win-2024/
…”Generation Z represents those currently between the ages of 18-24.
A recent Harvard CAPS–Harris survey found 57 percent of voters approved of the job Trump did as president, and 41 percent disapproved.
When breaking that approval rating down by age group, a massive 64 percent majority of Gen Z voters approved of the job Trump did as president.”…..
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/donald-trumps-approval-rating-is-higher-gen-z/
From the link –
“One factor the pollsters found is really hurting Biden with younger voters is his staunch support for Israel, according to a report from Axios. Trump has had a nuanced position on the region, repeatedly saying that there would have been peace if he was still the president.”
But what are these young wokester anti-Israel voters going to do when they find out it is Trump, not Biden, who actually supports Israel, rather than supporting Iran ?
Your ascribing a level of intellect and analyses to these 18-24 y.o. voters that I am not sure is merited.
A person on the street interveiwer at the Sundance film festival interviewed, on camera some college age protesters, carrying signs “From the river, to the sea, Palestine must be free!”
Not one could name either the river or the sea, they did not realise they were championing the destruction of Israel, or that Palestinians throw gays off roofs.
Just sayin,…
I know of only one 18-24 year old who has the intellect and ability to analyze things. His Father, my first cousin, I think voted for Biden in the hopes he would have his his $80K loan to attend nursing school erased. My cousin and his son used to fly the American Flag proudly.
The things humans do to get a monetary break, whilst going against their beliefs are legion.
I wish I had a Love instead of merely a Like for that…
The state of Maine use to be pretty conservative, with a bit of quirky thrown in. The influx of rich liberals from eastern Massachusetts turned the state inside out; just like New Hampshire. Everywhere these people go, they bring destruction!
I remember when they started moving in late 60’s during the “Hippy Movement”.
My gramp used to take us on rides thru the woods on Sunday afternoons to check on the progress of their “communes”. Dome buildings, etc.
Between marxist democrat election fraud and the fact the organized crime cabal will probably do something to prevent November elections, I just can’t get too excited. I’m sure Trump is truthfully polling better than any presidential candidate in history
Many throw out this line, that they will cancel elections, but few if any provide any cogent explaination of exactly how that would be anything other than a surrender on their part, and victory on ours.
THEY thrive on the illusion of legitimacy, in everything they do.
On Jan 20, 2025 at 12:00 noon, Joe Bidens term ends, and either he or someone else is sworn in, asa result of an election on Nov 5, 2024,..or we cease to have a Government at all.
Personally, I’m o.k. with that, but I seriously doubt the Uniparty Globulusts are.
So, perhapsrethink your amplifying by repeating such a rediculous, chicken little scenario?
You make them sound all powerful and make us sound like helpless children. Neither of those things is reality.
This makes me laugh! Remember when the “club” was saying that McCormick would have been the better choice to win the senate seat against Fetterman 2 years ago? Oh, that he was a far superior candidate that Dr. Oz!! Well, this poll shows casey would cream him. McCormick was and probably still is mcconnell’s boy. If McCormick loses by 7 points in November, so much for the “club” candidate, kind of blows their argument that it was “Trumps” fault.
You have someone better in mind?
Brandi Tomasetti.
The border invasion is number one whether or not the dopes can intellectually comprehend that fact. Inflation won’t figure into the sprawl of crime or civil unrest. It won’t matter when the wolf comes knocking at the door.
Where there is Dharma, There is MAGA and VICTORY!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸👊👊❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Purrfect. Thank you.
Yes, Trump is far ahead, but watch out,…. Haley will stay in for as long as she can to draw in Dim voters who will help elect in open primaries the Deceptions’ Rino candidates down ballot from Trump. Pernicious pols!
I actually love that these creatures are scattering……….I chose to smile through it all and live best.
Obviously, this person does NOT support President Trump: NY AG Letitia James Openly Trolls Trump Over Obscene $450+ Million Civil Fraud Judgment
McCormick is a candidate who is not particularly relatable or MAGA. He needs to get out to more MAGA events and at least make an appeal for the MAGA vote. His endorsement of Trump and MAGA is at best lukewarm. Not going to get it done. How are Trump’s coattails measuring up in Arizona or Georgia or Wisconsin?
I think McCormick needs to get over his ego and get a life worth living outside of the political arena. Having wealth does not equate with being a leader of anything. Ask anyone who has lost their entire savings on a Wall Street gamble.
Breaking away to start another party will not work. You will simply make permanent that either a Democrat always wins or at best a politician who never wins the most votes will ever win a majority of the vote regardless of the Electoral College. Even IF this new party could manage to have their/our candidate win you would still have to work through the Congress with out ANY members of your own party for a numbers of election cycles.
As President Reagan Said “The Democratic Party has moved so far Left – they’ve left American.” The RINO’s are all Establishment long-term older Republicans or Democrats who couldn’t get elected as a Democrat so they ran as a Republican.
We are winning. Nothing happens overnight – that is the way our brilliant Founders set it up. Keep fighting the good fight – eventually we will be the established leader in members and votes. Defeat the vote cheating and you will see that we’ve been in the majority for a long time.
When I close my email account, the MSN story site comes up. Today, under a CNN byline, is a story entitled “A New Biden is on Display in Public”. Is that a joke? It’s the same bumbling, stumbling, shuffling, stuttering, incoherent Joe he’s been for the past couple of years. The same guy who his buddy BO stated that no one should ever underestimate Joey’s ability to f___ things up. As far as I can observe, with my own eyes and ears, he is doing a fine job of just that. CNN should revert back to being impartial stewards of journalism and stop being totally partisan hacks.
Oh my and alas. Do you know what the “Borg” is? CNN became a part of it a long time ago.
Even the pollsters are feeling the pinch, maybe it’s time they start telling the truth or a close proximity otherwise they lose all credibility.
“A Emerson College Polling/The Hill poll released Monday shows the former South Carolina governor trailing her former boss by more than 50 points ahead of Michigan’s Republican primary.”
“Before (next) Tuesday’s primary, 69% of Republican primary voters plan to support Donald Trump, 20% Nikki Haley, and 11% are undecided. When the 11% of undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean towards, Trump’s support increases to 76%, and Haley to 24%,” pollsters wrote.”
Yet the bitch will hang on.
It’s all about the Benjamins…
“There is a strange dynamic with professionally political punditry and political media where they project claims that are the exact opposite of the reality.”

Said another way…. “Pretending not to know things”
As long as establishment rino republicans continue to support funding our multinational globalist bills and proxy wars started by our IC then the doomsday clock gets closer to revolution. The lord has blessed us with Trump. He’s the only way out!
Important fact.
Even if we get Mr. Trump back into the White House, what do you think the Left will do with control of the House & Senate?
They will impeach him, convict him, & remove him.
Then they will have constitutional grounds to reindict, convict, & imprison him for the rest of his life.
To give Donald Trump the White House & the left the House & Senate, is effectively a death sentence to President Trump.
If that happens, they will not certify him as President on Jan 6, 2025.
That vermin Raskin talks about this openly.
A lot of Republicans have jumped ship and are quitting. I think the House isn’t getting a lot of discussion. A strong majority and a street fighter Speaker is critical.
If the House & Senate are lost, I believe they will certify him, but hang him by way of immediate impeachment & conviction.
The reasoning is that it allows them to constitutionally prosecute him for anything they can invent. Legally.
It’s a big deal.
His title is President Trump.
If nothing else the last couple of years have convinced us that the uniparty we do any and everything they can to destroy President Trump. We need to figure out how to block each of their attempts. The time has past for being an observer. Each of us needs to join with groups where we think our contribution will make a difference. We have the numbers on our side. The only thing that gives them power is if we don’t act.
Richard Baris AKA People’s Pundit has been pounding the table about this for years now. A generic Republican polls entirely different then Trump does. What is shown here is replicated all across the country, and in every swing state. This is why never Trumpers are suicidally stupid, because without Trump the Republican party is DEAD. Working class votes stay home, and Democrats pull 2/3 of the professional class. The Republican voters that elected Bush in 2000 and 2004 are literally dead.
A “Wall Street Journal” op-ed by Gerard Baker in this morning’s paper delved into the history of Presidential elections making comparisons re previous elections where the party’s nominee lost – eg, Carter in 1980 having had to deal with Ted Kennedy and George H. W. Bush having to contend with Pat Buchanan in 1992 and Hillary Clinton having to deal with Bernie Sanders in 2016. I think the comparisons are actually pretty lopsided and missing information – 1980 saw many candidates on the Republican side who were pounding on Carter, even without Kennedy – with Ronald Reagan emerging and the economy as well of course as the Iran hostage crisis and criticism of Carter’s handling of it –
In 1992, if you also did not know that George H. W. Bush had to deal with Ross Perot plus the news media being all in for Bill Clinton IMHO from the time of the “60 Minutes” interview and Hillary talking about baking cookies . . . and in Hillary’s case, in 2016, I think the juggernaut of Donald Trump vastly overwhelmed any flicker of opposition that Sanders posed.
Mr. Baker’s premise is that the other guy (eg, Kennedy, Buchanan, Sanders) may not have been the nominee but they managed to do sufficient damage to the nominee (Carter, Bush, Clinton) to prevent a win in that year’s election –
and based on that construct, is this a pattern that may reemerge in 2024, the writer speculates – that Nikki might not (MIGHT not!) win the nomination but she can cause damage for President Trump, preventing him from winning? She did AFTER ALL get “40%” in the SC primary on Saturday –
but then Mr. Baker does not at all mention that if Democrats had not crossed over to vote for Nikki Haley on Saturday, she would have only received 23%!
It seemed to me that Mr. Baker was trying to prepare his reading audience for President Trump not doing really all that well – that irked me because he IS doing very well – plus it irks me to see Nikki Haley being compared to Pat Buchanan by any stretch of the imagination – I mean, that she is of his caliber of mind – she is a birdbrain, through and through!
It seems to me that Mr. Baker is attempting to set the table for the idea that President Trump may not win the Presidency in 2024 as the Republican candidate . . . and that the next thought should be that perhaps he ought not be the candidate, that he is not that strong and although he WILL win on Super Tuesday but not as much he as ought to win? The prognosticators are calculating how many Democrat voters can be expected to give Nikki Haley their votes on Super Tuesday then they will start beating the drum about what a woeful thing it was for President Trump and MAGA voters!
So far, President Trump is winning bigly . . .
most recently, South Carolina: 23% 23% 23%!
Michigan’s primary today . . . see how that gets reported and opined upon
Super Tuesday a week from today . . . should be a lulu
The “mainstream media” will continue to plod along in reporting Nikki Haley’s “wins” without mentioning the Democratic voter element . . . and I have to wonder if this isn’t just fine as far as the RNC, Mitch McConnell and others on the Republican side trying to stop MAGA.
From the article:
For hopeful Democrats, Nikki Haley could be the latest in a long line of kamikaze candidates.
The record of parties that endure a divisive primary fight after the identity of their eventual presidential candidate has become obvious is an unhappy one. Sen. Ted Kennedy was repeatedly urged to drop his challenge to President Jimmy Carter in 1980, but took his fight to the convention. After inflicting a couple of early blows on President George H.W. Bush in 1992, Pat Buchanan played the happy warrior long after it was clear he couldn’t win. Sen. Bernie Sanders kept a flickering flame alive against Hillary Clinton through the summer of 2016.
. . .
There are few more nauseatingly familiar spectacles in politics than that of Democrats solemnly lauding the essential decency of Republicans they recently denounced as right-wing extremists. But we can expect to hear a lot more from President Biden in coming months about how the GOP is no longer the party of good people like Ms. Haley. Still, her Republican apostasy will end soon enough—probably after next week’s 15 Super Tuesday primary contests.
So the more salient question for Republicans than any damage Ms. Haley herself may inflict on Donald Trump is whether the one-third or more of Republican primary voters who have so far withheld their support from him augurs ill for the party in November.
In Iowa, New Hampshire and now South Carolina, Mr. Trump failed to win a majority of the votes of independent voters and moderate Republicans. In a close contest, if Mr. Trump can’t carry these voters in November, his chances of success are vanishingly small.
This is the one nagging point of significance in what is otherwise Ms. Haley’s continuing exercise in futility. On Saturday night, she again insisted that her showing reflected trouble for a candidate who can’t win the general election.
“I’m an accountant,” she said. “I know 40% is not 50%. But I also know 40% is not some tiny group,” she said. “I don’t believe Donald Trump can beat Joe Biden.”
It takes some chutzpah to say that the man who has just beaten you by 20 points in the state where you were governor less than a decade ago is unelectable. And there are grounds for skepticism that the apparent continuing resistance to Mr. Trump in the Republican primary renders him incapable of winning in November.
and I have to wonder if this isn’t just fine
as far aswith the RNC, Mitch McConnell and others on the Republican side trying to stop MAGA.This is nothing to crow about. It man’s DJT might win and win big, but it would be pyrrihc victory. Reminiscent of Richard Nixon in 1972 winning 49 states decisively while seeing insurmountable democrate majorities in House and Senate. Then the President will be more paralyzed than he was under Ryan and Mitch to say nothing of the later Shumer- Nancy debacle.

Have to purge RNC leadership of non MAGA supporters. Enough of the never Trump crowd influence.
What will MAGA voters do in 5 years when Trump is gone? Will they go back to the GOP, if much is left of it by then? There won’t be a better time for a third party to form, intentionally or not. Who will replace Trump as party leader? It’s not too soon to begin thinking about such things, for we will have to then, like it or not. I want a third party, conservative without the RINO’s. That is going to come deliberately or accidentally.
One way Dems seem to keep their status and power is by positioning themselves as the party of fresh, young, full of ideals and initiative, energetic progressives, but the Republicans seem to be becoming that.
Interesting article here: https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/billionaire-tim-dunn-runs-texas/
Left leaning article incensed by Dunn. Suggests he wants a theocracy.
It’s amazing there are still people who support Biden.
There is a considerable body of economic studies and research that concludes that running budget deficits and financing them with money printing ( debt) carries a negative multiplier, not a positive multiplier for the economy. The current debt level of 125% of GDP is shrinking the private sector by approximately 30%. The last 3 + years of deficit spending of $6.0 Trillion has negatively impacted the private sector by approximately $1.8 trillion. A continuation of this policy will result in very high inflation and shortages, followed by wage and price controls.
There is either elephant or donkey. No middle ground, no third option. The sooner this is realized, the better.
