Conservative Commentator Gives Advice To Republicans
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Heath Mayo
The GOP needs to reacquaint itself with the values of liberty, individualism, & enterprise. Businesses are not the enemy. The “successful” or “elites” are not the enemy. Government doesn’t need to play culture police. State paternalism is bad, even when you agree with the state.
A few immediate suggestions for Rs wanting to correct course:
—Do not seat MTG to committees.
—Support the J6 Committee.
—Quit the election denialism.
—Stop going to CPAC & TPUSA events.
—Quit saying you’ll vote for Trump if he’s the nominee.
—Ditch the NatCon Orbanists.
—Support Ukraine against Putin
—Quit palling around with Tulsi
—Apologize to Cheney, Kinzinger, Meijer, etc.
—Don’t attend Trump rallies
—Switch up party leadership, starting with McCarthy
—Fix the Fox / Newsmax problem
—Stop talking about a “Deep State,” there’s no such thing.
—Fix things instead of just complaining about them.
—Don’t threaten to roll back gay marriage
—Don’t nominate carnival barkers like Lauren Boebert & Madison Cawthorn

Interesting list, but nothing in there about abandoning conspiracies, or broadly abandoning culture wars such as CRT.
*eyeroll*
If he had said those, you still wouldn't be happy. You would have found some other something you think he should have said to make you "feel better".
Literally:
…
Again, literally:
and . . .
Geez, JR. Read your own seed, ya know?
I would have added "Develop a plan as to what you intend to do, other than to just reverse whatever the Democrat administration has done or beneficial things they TRIED (but prevented by you) to do."
I found it curious that most of the election deniers...lost. If trump runs again he'll lose...again, and, he'll blame everyone but himself..again.
It’s a good list. I would be thrilled if Republicans stopped trying to be the culture police, but I don’t see that happening. We’ve got Republicans now openly saying their church should run the government.
I do believe if they nominate Trump in 2024, they will lose. It’s foolish, too, because I expect that the Republicans could run literally anyone not named Trump and they would win - particularly if Inflation is still 7% or 8% by then. DeSantis seems particularly strong.
Conversely, if the Republicans do nominate Trump, the Democrats could run a bag of Doritos against him and win. They come with more spice than Biden has.
We could have a really intriguing race if each party nominated new candidates. Sadly, both parties are too fearful of trying anything new. It’s baffling to me on the Democratic side, considering the success of Barack Obama - a guy most of America barely knew before he ran for president.
And in the Senate, jettison Mitch McConnell. That guy is as full of shit as a Christmas Goose and he hasn’t actually done anything - other than obstruct the business of governing - for 15 years. I will give him some credit for chipping away at the filibuster, but beyond that, he’s mostly worthless.
Agreed, Biden is quite unpopular and the Dems have no one to replace him, their rising stars are mostly people who are too far left on a lot of shit even for me, and would never stand a chance in a general election. BUT, the one way Biden or any of the other could win is if the GOP nominates one of the least liked people in the country. Again. FFS Clinton was very close to the presidency because the GOP nominated someone people hated as much as her.
So true, Mitch hasn't actually done fucking ANYTHING as a legislator. He has basically just been mooching off the taxpayer tit for years without actually accomplishing anything. Unless you consider fucking the other party over any chance you get doing something. But even when his party was in charged they did.... not a goddamn fucking thing. Mitch is fucking useless aside from being a roadblock. Which, shit, anyone can do that. Fuck, I'll take his salary to do absolutely nothing but be a pain in the democrats ass. Hell, I'll even take a 25% pay cut, seems like the easiest job in the world.
I think that Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar or Gretchen Whitmer are the likely Dem Presidential candidates in 2024.
He hasn’t really hinted at it, yet, but I would not be surprised to see Gavin Newsom run.
No I wouldn’t be surprised either.
Perhaps next year, Biden will ask Harris to resign and replace her with Newsom. Then Biden could resign and Newsom would run as the incumbent.
