Great quote from the WSJ.

"Politics isn’t the art of the impossible, but Ms. Greene and her crew of vandals prefer to scream and throw soup at the walls, like those climate-change protesters who think their ludicrous gestures are accomplishing something."1

And they call the Democrat Party the big tent, but with only one idea. Republican's actually have the big tent and a lot of ideas... a bunch of ideas... some different ideas.... maybe of a handful of different ideas... and can't get a long because big money is in the way.

Who is going to purge whom?? The establishment of the GOP is now Trump and his acolytes. The GOP is no longer conservative. It is populist that is culturally conservative, true, but fiscally “liberal”.

Who the hell is going to guide Donald Trump on fiscal issues if he wins? Chip Roy?? He supported DeSantis and will be shunned. Remember the mandatory loyalty requirement? Of course you do.

The GOP needs to be defeated badly in November. If so then the rebuilding can begin. But it probably won’t be because the Democrats are screwing up right and left, thereby ensuring Trumps victory.

What a sorry state of affairs.

So here it is. When Margorie Taylor Greene speaks, she claims to be a conservative. To prove her conservative bona fides, she expresses her conservative viewpoints on various individual issues. But on the most important issue, the activities of the Congress, she nearly always supports the soft left Establishment Republican politicians. When Erick Erickson speaks, he claims to be a conservative. To prove his conservative bona fides, he expresses his conservative viewpoints on various individual issues. But on the most important issue, the activities of the Congress, he nearly always supports the soft left Establishment Republican politicians. There are two differences between the two. MTG says what ever she needs to say to protect her political privilege. By contrast Erick believes what he says and speaks to support his brand as an entrepreneur. Quite laudable. But on the flip side MTG only rarely criticizes conservatives. By contrast, Erick’s vicious verbal attacks on conservatives, libertarians and the MAGAs is unprecedented in the history of conservative talk radio.

Purge the right and you invite the left.

I would like to say that there is no difference between the two parties but there really is. Despite what people think laughably that there is such a thing as a Moderate democrat. There isn't.

And the conservative movement is not the fault of republicans, its the liberal lefts attempts to destroy everything that America stands for as a country and to change us into a despotic ruler ship cadre of elites who decide what's best.

Trump is a symptom not a cause. He says what needs to be said often, and although he isn't perfect, he has the courage to say it. Sometimes it comes out wrong.

That's why they vote for him.

I still believe allot of the bad info on so-called conservative nationalist is more about the media lies than actual facts. People forget that they demonized GWB, John Mccain, and bob Dole. Trump is just an easier target.

But here is the solid real facts that will hit you in the face and kick you in the sweet spot. Its either them or nothing. You may not like trump or the loonies he plays with sometimes but whats the alternative? Biden? Come on.

Sure primary some of these more insane ones, but make sure that doesn't lead to the other side winning.

And installing a rhino in place of a true conservative is not much better.

It is galling to me that if we had a true majority of rational conservatives in the House how much we could accomplish. Instead we have an extreme right, a not so extreme, something in the middle of that and then a whole lot of liberal progressives who call themselves republicans. They are democrats with an R.

You call it obstructionist but I will take a divided house that fights and gets nothing done over a progressive congress ruled by pelosi who has a whole of darkness within her soul.

As bad as our side may be and the bad apples that are there. Its nothing compared to the left. They are true evil and they have very bad policies. Unfortunately they also get elected all too often which says more about media propaganda than the issues the right has.

The message being displayed is the problem along with ignorant or ill informed voters. we have no choice here. Support our side or be ruled by the left.

Matt Gaetz is not the problem with the Republican Party. The problem is that the GOP has far too many members overly concerned with how the press, the mainstream media in particular, will portray them. The media loves bi-partisanship, but it bi-partisanship that has resulted in $35 Trillion dollars in debt with a yearly deficit of $2 Trillion dollars. It’s the by-partisan war machine that wants to continue to send money to Ukraine and prop up a corrupt regime that is only in place because the U.S. wanted their guy - thanks Victoria Nuland - and staged a color revolution. Bi-partisanship has failed. At least Gaetz believes in something. You might not like his tactics, but he has a North Star and he’ll reach it. The establishment GOP is going to need to come to the realization that their time is just about up,

We only have a two-seat majority because of the Dodd decision and the radical Conception at Birth part of the GOP. Female rage over those things prevented the red wave in 2022. I have heard from the Conception at Birth radicals in the GOP party and they told me it was worth it.

Well then, take responsibility for what is broken.

Absolutely yes, it's time to purge the right. Kinda hard though when the person that needs to be purged most is at best, the Right's leader and most popular politician and at worst (/more likely) the leader of a cult of that the vast majority of the right has fallen prey to.

Purging Turning Point USA doesn't do much when the leader of the right is going to grow the government / debt with no pushback from anyone else who are all terrified of the offending the Leader's supporters.

The Republican Party needs to do something or become the opposition party that can’t do anything

You are right but people will vote for the same "old" congress people and senators.
