Since the Democrats achieved their governing trifecta in 2020, they have presided over a cascading series of domestic and foreign policy disasters while displaying transparent contempt for the Constitution. For the sake of the country, it’s imperative that some semblance of balance is restored to the elective branches of our government. The GOP must regain control of Congress in November. Accomplishing this will clearly require solidarity among Republican officials, the conservative commentariat, and the voters who endure Democratic policies. Above all, no circular firing squads.

RINOs are enemies to conservative values. They are traitors. This writer thinks we've wronged McConnell by criticizing his traitorous duplicity; that's the point of the article. Somehow keeping mitch in power will save us. Don't criticize him before an election. Get outta here! He deserves the same fate as the other leftists. Just because he sides with us some of the time does not make him a true conservative. When he sides against us, it's huge. Conservatives need to take back the Party. Squishy, traitorous Republicans are useless to US and very useful to the left.

Disagree. Everyone knows that Biden and the dems are toxic. If they don’t realize that by now then we may as well pack it in and just give up. We know who our enemy is and you can bet the American voter will go to the polls and make that known. If democrats can’t cheat, they will be soundly defeated.
We can also walk and chew gum at the same time you know. Conservatives are sick and tired of having the rug pulled out from under them by their own party. We do our part and then the people we send to Washington choose McConnell as their leader who beyond his interest in Supreme Court nominees falls short in every other area. In fact, many times he is the guy backing anyone but a conservative or conservative principles. We have figured out that old Mitch is for old Mitch and the status quo. He has been AWOL in leading any opposition to Biden and his open animosity for Trump is legendary. He has done very little in support of President Trump. People are making their dislike of McConnell evident because they do not want him anywhere near a leadership position. We have had it with his lack of desire to challenge Biden’s lawlessness. We need change and McConnell will not bring it. What good is it if we take both the House and Senate and have a leader with zero interest in pushing back this rogue administration? McConnell is what is wrong with the Republican Party. He is an arrogant deep state elitist who ignores his constituents because he believes he knows better. If we are to have any success at all, it won’t be with Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy.

Eviidently Catron is among those about whom he writes..."Know who your enemies are". Siding with a wholly owned apparatchik of the Chinese Communist Party is no way to win friends and influence conservatives. Mitch's wife, Elaine Chao's family wealth is controlled ENTIRELY by China. Gotta ask how many decisions are made in Beijing in lieu of Washington?

Dear Author of the article:
Ol’ Flaccid Chin Turtle Face better thank his lucky stars he doesnt live in an age where people would tar and feather backstabbers like him because considering Who His Old Repulsive Expletive wife is, she would be the first to go… while he watched. He wouldnt dienot knowing how. But we dont do that anymore. The Chinese have far worse means.
McConnell needs to go. No one is going to be sad about it. We will be better off.
Nice try dear Author, but youve shown your backside.

Many will discount this, and these days people seek the superiority of their own opinions and have to be "right"-- it is time to consider the quote attributed to the cartoon character Pogo who said "we have met the enemy and he is us"
There is infighting within the Republican Party and those who would DARE challenge the entrenched ruling class elite RINOs have an uphill climb when RNC/RINO Party does not help challengers who win primaries unless they first give allegiance and devotion to the "call of the RINO". Campaign support only goes to the INCUMBENT RINOS or those who were coerced into becoming RINOs after their initial terms, and many promising representatives have been corrupted and then LOST if they didn't give in.
There are those who almost worship the ground PDJT walks on and see him as a savior for all our problems, and those who do not-- and WOE to them who is not falling in line with either faction!
There are those in Texas who are STILL trying to claim superiority of their cause even though the primary for Governor of Texas was settled in March, or they claim that unless one subscribes to THEIR views that Republicans are not "True Texans" if they don't go along. The same can be said for the entrenched RINOS in DC who have had their knives out since Mr. Trump came along and exposed their corruption.
Rush Limbaugh used to refer to this as the Republican "circular firing squad" for dominance which kept diluting the message of defeating Dems because of all the infighting. It's there and a REAL threat!
There are those who have sold out to the money and seniority of their positions in BOTH parties. It is a damn shame there are so many RINOs who only seem interested in money and power, but that is what it is.
The socialists in the other party are capitalists when it suits their own self-interests, but the primaries are over and its time for Republicans to TURN OUT in overwhelming numbers, because those who sit at home and don't vote because the media is constantly creating a sense of defeat which they cultivate daily, will elect those who will finish the job of government take over by fiat AGAINST the individual.
Republicans who sit at home in disgust elect Socialists. Beto IS the opposition candidate, and if Republicans stay home and don't vote, there are other races that will be affected. The very notion that this will be a Red Wave election so people don't need to vote is an illusion UNTIL voting has occured and the actual votes are counted. Even then, its obvious now that the last major election was a lesson showing U.S. how important it is to vote, and that the integrity of the voting process is critical.

God is who truly unites. And given that the Democrat party is doing everything possible to take God out of society, I won't vote for them. Joe Biden deceives people when he makes the claim he is a uniter.

Republicans are going to win big in November because the democrats have shown their cards in a big way and America has finally caught on to what they are attempting to do to the country but the republicans regaining power are the same do-nothing bunch that deserves a large "Needs to Improve" scrawled across their report card.

i'm here to make sure the dims are soundly beaten in November. Bigly. Yes, I get it that some pubbie leaders haven't met expectations. But time to direct our full energy at the enemy here - the entire slate of dim candidates and the msm. All of them must be shown the door - for good.
Do we want to gain control of both houses of congress or don't we. Continuing to attack republicans at this stage is exactly the dividing behavior the dims want from us.
As Catron points out, let's please avoid the circular firing squad behavior and do something nice for ourselves and the country. Its survival depends on us.

I vote for conservatives not for party.
There is no way to get rid of the RINOs if we keep voting for them. Think long term not just the next election cycle. Get the Mitch McConnell and McCain and Romney types permanently out of office even (especially?) if it means not having a leftist Republican in that seat for a cycle.
I vote for candidates I want. I never vote against anyone. I do not vote for lesser evils. They're still evil and they never go away until death.

Democrats bark and snarl like a mad dog just before they look you in the eye and disembowel you.
Republicans come up from behind, meow in your ear, purr deliciously, and stab you in the back with a twist to cut out your kidney.
There are about two republicans I trust SOME of the time.
Do you understand? Dems are more trustworthy than Republicans cuz at least you know what they're gonna do to you.
DJT thought there was a swamp to drain. It's more like draining the Pacific Ocean. The curbs on the road we travel are ever narrowing. Soon there won't even be a sidewalk. No room to maneuver.
So kids, it's go BIG or go home time.

Mitch McConnell has openly pursued a "rule or ruin" strategy since his efforts to tank the Tea {arty in 2010. Getting rid of McConnell is not an impediment to party unity, it is essential to party unity.

Is this all about the "Media"? Print, TV, Internet? Is that who's in total control of what Americans see, hear, think and believe? I have friends,....I mean acquaintances and so called family that just hate Trump as a pure knee jerk reaction. Even some pet owners and lovers who when I tell them that Trump passed the first American Law against animal abuse still don't believe me or like Trump anymore.
I'm "old" now and I've never seen or heard the country in such a dangerous and vulnerable mess. I think we're in real danger from the DimOcraps and so called liberals and lefties. Joe McCarthy was right about the lefties/commies infiltrating every aspect of our country's government and culture. It's scary. Why are so many Americans asleep and ignoring what's happening right now in our country?

Reading the comments that the Republicans will win taking over Senate and House. You have very short memories...these bloody Democrats will steal many elections and will keep the Senate and House. Republican leadership will whine, cry and holler. The stupid blaster will have done nothing to stop it.

On two posts there are words like, "we are going to win 'bigly' in November". True that, but the democrat communists are going to cheat 'bigly' in two coming Novembers. The left is completely crooked and supported by muscle like the DOJ, FBI and all media that means the enormous social media. We face bigger odds than we can imagine. I'm old and don't have many election cycles left in me I can't say, "we'll get them in the next election". I'm not that confident anymore. I predict that if Trump survives the onslaught of the next two years without indictment deciding to run for the top office and wins, he will never see Washington again the left owns that place he can't be allowed there. The 'house is divided' as Lincoln would say. Trump as a President might as well make Mar-A-Largo the capital if elected like Jefferson Davis did during the Civil War.

Have you ever noticed that the Dem/Left sticks together? Have you noticed how very, very rarely they "air their dirty laundry" or attack or shun each other in public? Sure, the mobs verbally attacked Sinema and Mansion ( i know, i know. I purposely misspelled it.), but the Leadership and fellow Dem/Left politicians zipped their viperous lips.
AND they send money, a lot of it from lots of people, rich and those of meager means. AND, AND they VOTE, they do not sit home to "prove to those damned RINOs" that they'd better do right.
There's something in the psychological make-up of Repubs/Conservatives, kind of weak, whiney, unlike the TEA Partiers which is at least part of the reason they so frightened both Dems and Check-Pants Repubs. In the end, TEA Parties just could not keep up the fight (and, of course, the Obamboozler government launched the IRS after the leaders).
Oppositionists have to fight smartly.

Since Jesus walked the Earth, there has never been a single individual who possesses infinite, perfect knowledge or the ability to spread such perfection among the masses. Even those whom we hold in highest esteem have flaws and are not right on every issue 100 percent of the time. When it comes to McConnell, the converse is true, too. The only person who so far has been 100 percent wrong on every issue is Joe Biden.

There is truth that McConnell stopped Garland and helped get the Supreme Court justices approved.
But he is easily as much about blocking ACTUAL conservatives from the Senate and House as he is about anything else. He has cut off all funding to Oz, essentially tossing the race.
He worked repeatedly against conservative Senate candidates, many times. He'd rather be the top dog in the minority, rather than have a Senate majority which might not vote him into the leadership position.
We'll have to wait until he dies, most likely.
