Attention: There is no real "fight" inside GOP

[kpete]

Oliver Darcy writes: "If you ever want to understand where the Republican Party is or where it's going, just pay attention to what is happening in right-wing media. Watch a few hours of Fox, listen to a few hours of talk-radio, and browse a few sites like Breitbart and The Gateway Pundit. That will give you a crystal clear indication of the GOP's current state. And if you do that today, you'll quickly observe that there is no real 'fight' for the soul of the Republican Party taking place, despite the huge amount of news coverage suggesting so. The party was remade in Trump's image over the last four years and it remains in his image. All the prominent right-wing media figures are solidly in the MAGA camp..."

That war ended a while ago.

1. Disagree...

Yes, I understand what he’s saying; and a large proportion of identified Republicans would t I’d to agreee with the Trump/QANON mantra. But there are leadership Republicans and never-Trumpers who don’t agree and can see the inevitable outcome if the Party doesn’t return to sanity.

2. No, this is not true. The KGOP was implementing voter suppression BEFORE Trump it went hyper partisa

... after Trump for in as president.

The current DC kGOP don't want democracy and no matter how it's massaged they're not going to accept legally being out of control

5. Could any of them win a primary?

If not, then they are powerless to influence the now Trump Party.

8. They win their primary if they glue their lips to Trump's butt.

But having their lips surgically attached to Trump’s butt has proven to be a liability in statewide races in Arizona, and more recently Georgia.

13. Dude

They literally are doing nothing about MTG while they are trying to run Liz Chaney, LIZ CHANEY, out of congress.

Tom Rice, one of the R House reps who voted for impeachment was censured by his state party.

Jeff Flake, Cindy McCain and their right wing governor were censured by the part in Arizona.

All but 5 R senators voted to say that the jackass should not be convicted.

3. The enemy within the House.

We should eliminate the filibuster and just run right over them. They are not our friends and the sooner we realize that the better off we'll be.

10. I agree. We need to ram legislation right over their prone bodies.

Our challenge will be to insure that legislation helps a broad swath of Americans and is implemented efficiently.

4. and this in turn is because Donnie is a product of the right-wing media

His sole political qualification was that he was an avid fox news viewer. That's it. Everything he understood about the world came from Fox News.

So of course the right-wing media still loves him. How can they not? He's their baby.

6. "He's their baby."

Bingo. You win the comments today.

12. whiny little colicky baby, at that....

7. He is right.

Really sane republicans bailed out of that party more than four years ago. The sorta sane ones stayed until the stink became so unbearable that they had to jump ship and either vote for President Biden or leave the for president oval blank. The test will be whether those groups of republicans and former republicans start voting democrat in down ballot races, if they do, that shuts off the oxygen to the GOP.

Right now, the Republican Party is a concentration of white supremacists and lunatics.

9. One name: Strom Thurmond. Yes, there is no real battle for the soul of the GOP.

They made that choice a long time ago. They've been the "Lost Cause" ideology party since.

Just as the Democratic Party made a choice when it chose the path of Civil Rights.

Choices matter.

11. This has crossed my mind. However, about 10% in the party and most independent voters

don't want anything to do with this crap. So if the GOP doesn't come to it's senses it will begin to die. They won't be able to win elections in moderate districts.

15. Completely agree, and anyone who doesn't recognize it at this point...

Must be smoking something powerful enough to fog up their lenses pretty spectacularly..

It may not be quite 100% TRumplicon, but it's close enough to make the never-trumper republicans almost irrelevant, at this point in time.
