Trump won't loose if his Senate GOP leaders get their act together and get Stimulus 2 done, signed and paid without dragging it out any further, before leaving Washington AGAIN!
…you people really have a nack for making Neocons look good, don't you? How do you do it? Oh, I know, you remind me the alternatives are libertarians and populists – the Unforgivables.
Jim Jordan is a corporate-sellout hack. I would not be surprised at all if he goes down with Larry Householder in the First Energy nuclear bailout scandal. Nobody should accept Jim Jordan as a serious person.
“Loyalty to Trump”. Why doesn’t the media remind these people that their loyalty is to the country, the constitution and the American people…and not to a sentient meat sack? Somebody needs remind these people and no one is better position to do so than the so-called liberal mainstream media. Yeah, yeah, vote. Sure. But it would help if reporters—especially the White House corps—would ever stand up to these people. The only reporter I’ve seen challenge Trump and call bullshit to his face is a Fox News reporter. And they aren’t much harder on the rest of the gop bros, constantly letting them go on air to blatantly gaslight the public. Once the lying starts, cut mic. Period.
Civil war within the Republican party is such a regular occurrence over the course of its history that one could make a reasonable argument for it being a major component of the party's operations philosophy and longevity.
Another point I think is worth far more consideration than it receives is how these internal upheavals have played out as they've manifested over the last 60+ years. There has been a very clear outcome in favor of the neoconservative/proto-neocon faction every time these struggles have taken place — even when it seems at first glance that they were the clear losers. One of the best examples of this is the Tea Party movement, which paved the way for the Trump presidency.
Initially, it appeared as though the ascendancy of the Tea Party movement (regardless of how legitimate it may or may not have been as a genuine, organic movement) made it known that the time of the neocons at the reins had come to an end. The truth of the matter, however, was that they quickly demonstrated that not only were they still at the helm, but that they arguably held even more control than before.
Critical positions in the Trump cabinet being filled by neoconservatives have given them control of the steering of the state, while also shielding them from a degree of pushback and criticism one would probably expect they would have encountered if not for the political fire magnet that is Trump being positioned as the face of the adminstration. While it's true that certain actions that have long been key neocon objectives — regime change in Iran and Syria, for instance — haven't taken place, I think it would be a mistake to interpret their absence as indicators of a lack of power on the part of the neoconservative faction.
On the contrary, the absence of such events makes a lot more sense if viewed as being indicators of some of the latest developments in neocon ideology, which takes a somewhat more reserved, (comparatively) long game approach that often occurs with imperialist factions who hold a unified ideology and are confident that they have cemented political power. Basically a "Okay, cool. We can pace ourselves a little — we've got this shit locked down, so we don't have to be in as much of a hurry to meet our objectives."
I'm very much of the opinion that, no matter who appears to be the winner in the outcome of this latest struggle, the neocons will still be the ones calling the shots. The truth of the matter is that no other faction is capable of securing and maintaining victory within the Republican party.
Looking past the fact that the tiny number of those in government now and in the reasonably-expected future on the "populist right" hold zero power, the Libertarians are, frankly, ideologically ill-equipped to be capable of exercising power in the present day. Even if they somehow managed to win the party struggle, their attempts to exercise their new leverage would result in schizophrenic, contradictory, and ineffective/self-detrimental policy and behavior. The result of this being either their swift loss of power in the face of failure, or the Trump path of inviting in administrators who know how to exercise power — the neocons.
I don’t know why you guys keep showing the republican elephant with upside down stars. You’re falling for the most basic mind control ever. I have no hope for republicans ever waking up. The democrats continually make them look stupid and slow.
If Trump does lose. The one thing the current Republicans will never do. They will never be able to recover or re-establish integrity. They have towed this line for 3.5 years. It will take a full generation of true, transparent politics to begin to gain integrity. Democrats right on their tail. Another failed party.
Libertarians….. extremists? If you want to say that some libertarians are no different than anarchist then yes I see that sometimes but most want less government control and less taxes.
I usually really like you guys… But Fauci is a bill gates peon. You shouldnt stand up for him until he is honest about making coronaviruses in labs… He is guaranteed to join bill and melinda gates foundation and should not have a say in our world health simply because he has a vetted interest in the outcome and vax push. He is evil
Trump type politicians are far more helpful for America , can you please understand this ya’ll he is destroying the neocons chances of ruling again , Keep the Trump train running, all this stuff like covid and riots are not his fault … they are the responsibility of the neocons and career politician democrats that exchange favors for one another and his secrets from the American public, they know one more term of Trump will destroy them forever. I’m asking all Biden voters , please do some research, we can either have Biden in office and everything will go back to “normal” November 4th meanwhile all the cronies responsible for meaningless wars walk free , they send troops back to Afghanistan, and they’ll continue raising our taxes carelessly or we can fight through and vote for Trump and destroy all these corrupt pos forever and have a better planet for our children by having the flawed leader Trump knocking these people out for another 4 years
Libertarians aren't in the GOP. You're talking about 1% of voters, 0 politicians. Libertarians don't mind gay marriage, smoking weed, doing whatever you want with your body as long as you don't hurt others. Libertarians are against corporate welfare, interventionist wars. This isn't "right". Leftists classify libertarians as "the right" because everyone is the right that isn't a leftist.
I really think the Republican party need to be punished severely, it needs to lose the Senat, Presidency, & more seats from the house, maybe, just maybe we will go back the principles of Lincoln party, & fight shy of the Trumpism obscurantism when you party is the party of racism, ignorance, & anti-science you just hope to take it back to the 21st century
Saagar is cool, but I can’t stand the Krystal lady. Always turn it off because she sounds like a ValleyGirl, and I would rather listen to nails on a chalk board.
Mitch only had one song in mind when it came to his family. Take the 350000.00 plus PPP and run ?♀️
Polls are propaganda used to swing the spineless.
I think its time for Cruze to go.

I d k …. y people buying guns and ammo ????
…you people really have a nack for making Neocons look good, don't you?
How do you do it?
Oh, I know, you remind me the alternatives are libertarians and populists – the Unforgivables.
GOP has to embrace Nationalism whole cloth if it wants to continue to be relevant. These arguments do not appeal to the young right wing.
Jim Jordan is a corporate-sellout hack. I would not be surprised at all if he goes down with Larry Householder in the First Energy nuclear bailout scandal. Nobody should accept Jim Jordan as a serious person.
Saagar, tell us how fine tuned the Demorats are….lol
It's a sad day, Saagar delves into fake news.

Aren't your conservstive "populists" the people who so generously brought us the current bat-shit insane situation we're in?
Lol clown noises ensue’
This piece was trash. For several reasons.
I don’t know why you guys keep showing the republican elephant with upside down stars. You’re falling for the most basic mind control ever. I have no hope for republicans ever waking up. The democrats continually make them look stupid and slow.
You guys are SO in the bubble. You have NO idea what’s going on in the country?! It’s insane!?
These old white guys are not concerned about their grandkids!

If the dems weren't so weak they would take advantage and be transformative in govt.
Saagar, shut up for a moment and listen. Yes, you have some good points but let Krystal chime in!
Libertarians….. extremists? If you want to say that some libertarians are no different than anarchist then yes I see that sometimes but most want less government control and less taxes.
Rand Paul is an economic moron.
I usually really like you guys… But Fauci is a bill gates peon. You shouldnt stand up for him until he is honest about making coronaviruses in labs… He is guaranteed to join bill and melinda gates foundation and should not have a say in our world health simply because he has a vetted interest in the outcome and vax push.

Pity we are locked into this corporate duopoly.
These two fundamentally have no idea how the monetary system or the economy it is supposed to serve actually work.
The federal government is insolvent. All this grandstanding and posturing is a charade to distract from the fact that the dollar is eroding quickly.

Yall should put on a legit Libertarian who understands the economy – tell them why they're wrong

The Democrats are divided. The Republicans are divided. Why don't we just make new parties?
Wake up GOP. Trump has 1/10 chance of winning in NOVEMBER 2020.
