Welcome! Five Republican candidates take the stage tonight at 8 PM on NBC. BUSTED: New York City public defender resigns after being caught tearing down Israel-Hamas war hostage posters - Fox News DATA: A third of Americans earning $150,000 a year or more say they're living paycheck to paycheck. -
Republicans are losing because the raging female vote and females are raging because the GOP has too many extreme abortion banning idiots in the party. This issue is drowning out all other issues. It is the gift that Republicans keep giving to the Democrats.
Yep that sounds like Trump. No one banned abortion and in fact we have multiple states that have ensured it remains legal.
Trump is not a conservative. Blaming your SCOTUS for losing elections is childish inductive logic.
Is it a factor in liberal turn out, yes. Is it the only factor no. Who's issues are being drowned out? Republicans can't talk about the economy, crime, and the boarder without being shouted down by pro-abortion feminist? BS
The problem is Trump is talking about abortion instead of the economy, crime, and the border.
In Florida it tells me DeSantis and the Republicans are paying attention to what voters care about and directly addressing it.
Ignorance of the voters? So your approach is to fire the voters and get new ones?
Trump humpers are loosing elections because they are only talking about Trump and 2020. They are not talking about their ideas on how to make life better for voters. Their solution is elect Trump and elect me and magically everything will be better, vote for me because I am negative x.
Negative x just means not continuing down dementia road. But then what? The road to Trump's crazy town?
You can't scream loud enough to convince independent voters to vote for Trump's brand of crazy. They vote for the other guy or not all.
If they are voting for a democrat strictly because the republican is endorsed by trump or because they may not be in favor of abortion while the country around them burns to the ground. Then yes they are ignorant.
There is no solution. You can’t replace voters. Won’t matter anyway. In a year or so votes won’t be counted anymore. That or the country will be gone by then.
When our constitutional republic collapses, remember that pro-abortion margin, and remember that ANY republic requires a moral and GOD-fearing populace if it hopes to survive. God will tolerate the mocking of His commandments for only so long.
Re Ohio’s constitutional amendment vote on abortion last night: This might not be a popular view here and I offer it with the knowledge that the Democrats and pro-abortion forces are spending lots of $$$ on these state constitutional amendments. But wasn’t one of the arguments for overturning Roe v Wade was that it put the issue back at the state level, closer to the voters? Maybe Dems do have a more fired up base on this issue, but if it’s such an important issue to Republicans, then don’t we take individual responsibility to get out and vote ourselves? Why aren’t pro-life voters in Ohio, Iowa, etc. who see the pro-abortion ads getting stoked about voting against these amendments? Once again, Republicans caught the car but still have no idea what to do it. I’m just not sure abortion is the sword issue for a large number of Republicans - perhaps the average Republican is more concerned with the other kitchen table issues.
Jack - unfortunately you are correct. I'm an avid pro-lifer and believe that life begins at conception, but a large swath of Republicans does not believe that an unborn child is a human being. This is particularly true at the higher levels of the party and more wealthy Republicans. There is a lot of grass roots prolife efforts, but they are being dwarfed by the big spending leftists who make money from legalized infanticide. The Republicans are at a crossroads, and I think you will see it in tonight's debate. They are faced with the fact that the leftists are going to tie opposition to legalized infanticide around the necks of all Republican candidates forcing them to either abandon prolife principles or to attempt to thread the needle. Neither one in my mind will work. If they dump prolife principles, they will lose millions of prolife supporters like me. If they attempt to thread the needle, the leftists will hammer them instead of having to answer for their ungodly extremism.
My solution - which will not be taken - is to approach it head on. Call it "infanticide" instead of abortion, because that's what it is. Force them to explain while they are for killing unborn babies. Don't let them get away with claiming it's for the life of the mother because there is no prolife position or procedure that states that.
Place the issue in an historical context, tying legalized infanticide to slavery - where Democrats classified other human beings as not human and could do what they want with them. They are on the wrong side of history - just as they were then.
Third, be willing to pass any law that restricts legalized infanticide but pursue a legal strategy that ends up with the Supreme Court ruling that human life begins at conception and is protected under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Religion, tradition and science all point to this. Moreover, as scientists are now developing artificial wombs to breed children without mother or father except for the egg and sperm, all kinds of heinous activities will occur to include the development of fetuses for body parts as Planned Parenthood is already doing with naturally born fetuses.
This will call for the megadonors to stand up to fund the kind of campaigns to get this message out - but they won't because they really don't believe it's true or important.
You sir, are the problem. You and others with your Handmainden's tale view are giving the wins to the Democrats.
I will tell you what I tell my other life at conception people. I support your opinion as long as you keep it to yourself, your family, your congregation... and stop trying to force your extreme religious morality on others.
The big problem with letting the EV burn is the fire department has to watch for hours as the vehicle burns, this means they cant go put out other fires. Also does anyone remember the pinto. How is it that EV cars are not being branded as ticking time bombs like the pinto was? And what happens when you have a EV catch fire in a parking garage and that fire destroys one?
Trump, McConnell, Abortion, whatever. Here's my take. A statistically significant number of voters on the right have given up on the self-serving, deeply-entrenched Republican Party and its politicians and they are no longer voting for them. But you are right about one thing, Erick. The Republican Party is dead, and those voters are not coming back.
Many Republican voters will never leave even though the party continues to fail them. They'd rather go down with the sinking ship than vote third party. Kennedy is polling at 22%, still with a year to go, and he's pulling support from both parties.
Kennedy is not a Republican, he is a parallel to Trump. A conspiracy theory driven nut. I want to win with someone who is a principled conservative.
Just to win the election is not the point. Implementing proven conservative economic politics and reversing (not replacing) bad liberal social policies is the point.
The bottom line for the GOP heading into 2024 right now is that Donald J. Trump makes our path to victory far more difficult than the road to 2024 without him. Last night proved the complexity of a campaign with Trump. He has no choice but to stay in the campaign but his supporters have a choice. Given how last night came out any Trump supporter who is not capable of seeing what happened for what it is, or won't believe it, cannot be reasoned with.
Yeah, its all Trump's fault. It has nothing to do with a Republican Party that has failed its voters for decades. Don't dare blame them, because we cannot bring ourselves to face the true problem. The Republican Party has failed us, and there is no fixing it.
If you believe that you are screwed and Trump can't save you. As Erick wrote, the GOP is now a fractured regional party, that has a lot to do with Trump.
You can't win the presidency or get a majority in the House and Senate unless you are aligned with the DNC or GOP.
Trump and Biden both offer the same thing, they will burn down the country and their respective parties.
Same with those willing to go down with Trump looking at the past with rose colored glasses. Yes, he's better than a Dem but why do we have to settle for that if Trumps voters get behind DeSantis now we will have a shot of turning it around and 8 possible years. Trumps current mental baggage, inability listen to the right advisors, and continuing to attack people the minute they disagree with him makes him unstable to be President. Folks need to take a good look at what is happening in Middle East & in all Western counties.....a flashover fire coming is not something I would bet against. Even after 9/11 Americans still oblivious to danger we are in.
You and others need to get off the cult of anti-Trump that is your distaste for his personality and pay attention to the message... that message that is authentic in loving the country and wanting to take it out of the hands of the material ruling class that is destroying everything.
Name a POTUS that is perfect in the lack of mental baggage, perfection in listening to advisors and not attacking people that disagree with them.
Trump is stable as a rock compared to the cognitive impaired clown crook in the White House today.
Take stock. The establishment Republicans are the most disliked political cohort on the planet today even given the mess caused by the Democrats. Just came back from the grocery store where butter was $9 per lb... all of it... even the store brand. Yet, the Democrats are working on taking back the working class because the idiot establishment GOP is pushing for Handmaiden's Tale abortion restrictions and continuing to demonstrate hate for Trump and his MAGA supporters..;. that are the working class.
DeSantis and Haley are establishment hacks. They are the same professional managerial ruling class beholden to Wall Street and the military industrial complex. They are then required to support the globalist march. They are not going to pull any Democrats to their side because the Democrats are raging females and their weak male counterparts that will vote Democrat even if Satan is the candidate. That leaves only Republicans and independent voters. And there is stronger support for Trump from these voters than any other candidate.
Dig in your heels with Trump hate and keep giving the elections to the Democrats.
I voted for him twice but I’m not blind to his faults, or what he accomplished and what he didn’t. I wanted him to shake thing up & he did but we have a better choice who cares for this country as much as Trump says he does and put his life on the line to it. Biden a disaster but the rest of the madness has fed off Trumps poor choices and Dems TDS this is fact. Now look at all the hate on campuses adding “Trump” that already causes hate and gives them a fake moral equivalent thanks to Jan 6 is not logical. We have to get more votes than just Republicans that’s a fact. Picking such a polarizing figure means even if I vote for him which I will if no choice our country will suffer. I choose to put country first. Dems plan long term. Trump is short term might even get impeached with Republican help. How is this good for country? If Trump truly cared he would withdraw and throw support or at least stay silent. He’s not because he needs/wants love, support and money. His ego is first We can all still support his dilemmas as he got a raw deal but he should put this country’ first.
It’s not a matter of what I believe. Imagine what our country would be like today if the Republican Party had fought for what it claims to want as hard as the Democrats have fought for what they want over the past 30 years. All we’ve done is move left. This party has totally failed as a result of a combination of dishonesty, self-serving, cowardice and incompetence. And there is not a damn thing any of us can do about it. And yes, I acknowledged that Trump failed as well. He certainly did. And he can’t save us. But you never Trumpers will guaranty another Democrat victory so your also right in saying that we are screwed. (Of course, I will admit I’m a “Never Haley.”
Agreed. That failed Republican Party is one of the two forces that created a Donald Trump in the first place (the other being the socialists and globalists on the other side of the aisle).
If the GOP electees had done what they claimed they would do while campaigning for every election in the past 40 years, Trump would not have perceived a need to ride down the escalator and announce.
McCain was never going to win against Obama. Romney had a chance, he lost because Republicans sat home. It was unfortunate. The GOP should have learned from that, but they didn't and Trump took advantage of that and the Democrats essentially conceding defeat by nominating Hillary.
Democrats don't have a solid alternative, Republicans do. Trump humpers can sit home. Not voting as a block then claiming the election is stolen just makes you look stupid.
Republicans are losing because the raging female vote and females are raging because the GOP has too many extreme abortion banning idiots in the party. This issue is drowning out all other issues. It is the gift that Republicans keep giving to the Democrats.

Gibberish and nonsense. Obama won two terms and Trump wasn't around then. You old GOPers are the losers in this party game.
Re: Rashida Tlaib.
Censure means nothing but bullcrap. She needs to be expelled from the House.
My words a week ago didn’t spell doom and gloom. Just facts.
I still think this has little to do with trump and more to do with the media and ignorance among voters.
And also mail in ballots.
Dems still outnumber republican voters. Turnout is still high at 70+ percent.
I maintain as before.
Mail in ballots are fraudulent but so long as they are allowed republicans lose.
Florida has a ban on unsolicited mail in ballots and republicans have solid control. What does that tell you?
In Florida it tells me DeSantis and the Republicans are paying attention to what voters care about and directly addressing it.
Ignorance of the voters? So your approach is to fire the voters and get new ones?
Trump humpers are loosing elections because they are only talking about Trump and 2020. They are not talking about their ideas on how to make life better for voters. Their solution is elect Trump and elect me and magically everything will be better, vote for me because I am negative x.

You can't scream loud enough to convince independent voters to vote for Trump's brand of crazy. They vote for the other guy or not all.
The solution is no Trump, not more Trump.
Wrong analysis. The solution is no establishment GOP, not more establishment GOP.
If they are voting for a democrat strictly because the republican is endorsed by trump or because they may not be in favor of abortion while the country around them burns to the ground. Then yes they are ignorant.
There is no solution. You can’t replace voters. Won’t matter anyway. In a year or so votes won’t be counted anymore. That or the country will be gone by then.
And we have more ignorant ones crossing the boarder each day.
When our constitutional republic collapses, remember that pro-abortion margin, and remember that ANY republic requires a moral and GOD-fearing populace if it hopes to survive. God will tolerate the mocking of His commandments for only so long.
