I am an Ike, Reagan, McCain and George Herbert Walker Bush (the father) Republican and I am sick of the GOP being in bed with the religious right and all of the fricking crazies.

The big issues are the budget deficit/national debt, China, Russia & Iran and all the GOP screws around with are social issues. The GOP is right in the fricking bedroom and that is BS.

Bring back the Rotary Club GOP.

I hope Trump loses big.

“…has become”?

Brother, we have been there for a while now.

Btw, I completely cosign this. I was also once a proud Republican. Not anymore.
 
I used to be independent. I didn't even vote for Obama the first time. But watching the Rs reaction to Obama, their endless blockages, the rise of the Tea Party, and their super racist birther movement was enough to make me realize that they were going down a scary path and I became a hardcore Democrat out of necessity.
 
I genuinely feel bad for legitimate Republicans. They have nowhere to go.

That's funny, because you should know, that George Herbert Walker Bush was no Reagan Republican. So not sure what that makes you then
 
The majority of voters disagree with your list of priorities just fyi. Top issues:

1. Economy/inflation crisis (advantage trump)
2. Immigration crisis (advantage trump)

Kamala is currently campaigning on giving tax payer funded gender swaps to illegal aliens in prison. This thread is a joke.

If the GOP eliminated abortion and gay marriage from their platform, they'd run roughshod on the dems.

Dealing with the budget means raising taxes and cutting spending just like Clinton did in 1993. That brings down inflation.

Agree with you that immigration is important but if you believed in a strong secure US, that involves a secure border.

I found an easy way to cut some costs.. I can also save this country 100 billion dollars over the next 10 years with one simple idea: no soda can be purchased on the food stamps program going forward. Yes, we gift 10 billion a year to big soda so we can then spend more money on higher associated Healthcare costs. We don't need to raise taxes. We need to slash government spending though 100%.

I would add that part of a strong foreign policy is taking on China and that has the most bipartisan support of any issue.

The Ike/Reagan GOP had tons of success supporting a strong military.

Taking on China, means ending the De Minimis tariff loophole and ending China having the Most Favored Nation Trade status.

The Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) today applauded the Biden administration for finalizing actions to increase Section 301 tariffs on strategic imports from China and maintaining all existing Section 301 tariffs. This follows a thorough four-year review by U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai. The tariffs, originally implemented during the Trump administration and strongly supported by CPA, will now be raised on critical sectors, including steel and aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles, batteries, solar cells, critical minerals, ship-to-shore cranes, and medical products. A detailed CPA economic analysis on these actions can be found here.

An economic analysis by CPA’s Chief Economist Jeff Ferry highlights that tariffs have had a positive impact on the U.S. economy, driving significant reshoring, and reducing reliance on China. Moreover, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) found that Section 301 and Section 232 tariffs have effectively stimulated domestic production without increasing consumer prices.

“President Biden and Ambassador Tai’s decision to raise tariffs across key sectors sends a clear message that the U.S. is serious about reducing our dependence on China and safeguarding American workers and manufacturers from predatory trade practices,” said Zach Mottl, Chairman of CPA. “The China tariffs have already proven to be an essential tool for reshoring and strengthening domestic production. Today’s action continues the shift toward a bipartisan industrial policy that prioritizes U.S. economic security and growth.”

However, CPA strongly believes that more action is needed to strategically decouple from China and ensure a prosperous future for America’s workers and manufacturers. This includes revoking China’s Most Favored Nation (MFN) status to prevent further exploitation of U.S. markets and passing legislation to close the de minimis loophole. An economic analysis from CPA found that revoking China’s MFN status would result in the creation of 2 million new American jobs, increase real household incomes by $3,647, and increase real gross domestic product (GDP) by 1.75%.

“Today’s action is a positive step, but it’s not enough,” added Mottl. “We must go further by revoking China’s MFN status and eliminating the de minimis loophole that allows China to continue flooding the U.S. market with millions of packages per day, some filled with deadly fentanyl and other dangerous goods. These steps are critical to ensuring that American workers and businesses are no longer undercut by China’s predatory trade practices or killed by Chinese fentanyl.”

The problem with the Republican party these days is that nobody sane is leading it. They hung their hat about 10 years ago on a narcissistic con man that lies to everyone in sight. And we found out is a long time financial felon X 34, wife cheater, porno prostitute using, democracy trashing, foreign country blackmailing, state secret stealing looney bin. And in 4 years of being a president all he did was ignore covid, the one real crisis he had to deal with, and help kill 8 million. He told us to drink bleach, take horse drugs, shine a light in our bodies, wait until it gets cold, wait until it gets hot. That is the man the Republicans say is their leader. Who by the way, has never won the popular vote of the people in two elections. And has led the loss of countless down ballot candidates . When you hitch your wagon to that big of a dumpster fire don't be shocked your party disintegrated into a laughingstock. The GOP of Reagan and Bush is dead. Replaced by a circus, led by a carnival barker, full of easily duped, wide eyed yokels willing to believe whatever they are told is real.

He ‘ignored’ covid? The buttwipe closed down the country (destroying the economy in the process) then used the ‘crisis’ to ram through - in mere months - an untested vaccine on behalf of Big Pharma.

Now I happen to feel that this was criminally negligent, but there are scientists that feel the Trump jab actually saved lives. Like, literally MILLIONS of lives (https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/report-covid-19-vaccines-saved-us-115-trillion-3-million-lives). 🤣 🤣 🤣

Oh, and the GOP of Reagan and Bush also sucked, so….

Didn't Reagan start this?

Yes, Joe Biden is definitely a sane person and not riddled with obvious dementia.
 
But... but... Biden. I see you ignored the multitude of obvious Bonespurs caused Republican issues. Head meet sand 🤣

Pushing those issues — religion, abortion, gays, guns, owning the Libs, etc. — is the only way to get the poor and uneducated to vote against their own financial self interests.

Then, once in office, conservatives can work on the one thing they actually care about — tax breaks for their rich donors.
 
I’ve voted for Republican presidential candidates since my first election - Reagan in 1980. Didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020. I can relate to the RINOs (name MAGA gives them), and Democrats. But MAGA is uneducated batshit crazy. Will never vote Republican again as long as candidates are influenced by MAGA.

My wife and kids are the same. Going to be tougher sledding for GOP each year, in my opinion, as more Swifties turn 18, and more old angry MAGA die off.

Said the poster supporting a convicted felon and rapist. Good job... you go girl!
Good luck finding anything I’ve posted defending any politician…other than maybe Coolidge or Carter.

You’re such an unthinking little tool. 🤷‍♂️

I agree with most of what you say. However, the powerful influence within MAGA is not uneducated.
 
It's all you got. DT has millions of supporters.

Lawfare is a helluva drug.
Yep, CONVICTED FELON AND RAPIST . It's "all I got". 😂😂 feel good you support that. And thanks for reminding us of his millions of supporters. Yep I believe in 2016 he had three and a half million less than hillary. And in 2020 he had eight and a half million less than choir boy joe. I suspect the next election he'll have double digits millions less.

Damn you for making me post today. It's gameday

I've been fairly conservative for the most part but have always been huge on separation of church and state. I was pro gay marriage even before Obama because I could not see any non religious reason for it not be recognized. Long before it would have become a personal issue in my life.
