The Great Republican Revolt

[_ajax18]

We keep saying how pivotal this election is. RINOs keep saying, oh if we just compromise everything again Jeb will fix it. I don't think this country can come back from the election of 2012. 2012 was the tipping point.

I wish I were wrong. I'm still going to vote and still going to fight but it seems similar to the Book of Mormon when Mormon said, "his prayers for them were without faith."

2. We never thought Romney would "win by a landslide", but we DID underestimate some the power of the liberal propaganda machine how much they've really permiated every aspect of American life, replacing good traditional American values and ethics with the perversion that is leftism, it's mob mentality of ignorance.

When Obama was elected over Romney the second time..... I knew the great American experiment was finally over, or at least a major blow that it may never come back from, that the end just might be near. For someone as Marxist etc. and a con man as Obama to be elected again over a truly good, experienced and intelligent man, the very essence of the greatness of American values..... it's the first time I truly feared for the truths and values that once made America the Shining City on the Hill and the world itself.

Well, I don't believe that Obama is really a Marxist. And if Obama didn't win reelection in 2012, then the Republicans wouldn't have won as big as they did last year in 2014.

United States Senate elections, 2014

Five incumbent Democratic senators were unseated: Mark Begich of Alaska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Mark Udall of Colorado, and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.

Five of the seven confirmed pickups were in states that voted for Mitt Romney in 2012, but two of the seats that Republicans won represent states that voted for Barack Obama in 2012 (Colorado and Iowa).

The rights disappointment in the congressional capitulation this hollow win has led to is exactly why your establishment candidates are so unpalatable during the primary.

Congress deserves some of the blame for Obama's ability to spend more than any other president before him combined not because they didn't work with him but because they didn't even try to stop him.

Obama has had the vast majority of his agenda frustrated in Congress and has essentially governed to the right of Nixon. You are in a fantasy-land.

The Republican congress has been the most successful at preventing legislation favored by the executive being passed in modern history. I'm fairly certain the numbers reach back to the entire history of the United States, but to be safe we can say since FDR. Right from the outset of the Obama presidency congressional Republicans made a tactical decision to try and thwart the executive at every turn and was atypically successful in doing so. There has never been a opposition party so feverishly opposed to compromise to the point that it gridlocks the entire system and leads to some of the least productive legislative sessions ever. That's not an exaggeration.

Up until relatively recently, it really wasn't possible to get this kind of parliamentary bloc voting on nearly every single issue to happen in the US Congress. That's what's needed in order to be so successful at blocking agenda. Conventional wisdom also held that voters would make representatives pay for this kind of behavior. Conventional wisdom is/was wrong.

Congress deserves some of the blame for Obama's ability to spend more than any other president before him combined not because they didn't work with him but because they didn't even try to stop him.

Reality is the exact opposite.

If Conservative Republicans want more of the agenda that they want out of Washington D.C., then they need to win back the White House next year.
Here are two helpful ideals for the Republicans to be able to win back the White House next year.

1. Dump The Trump!! Donald Trump is basically a clown, and he is viewed negatively among a very large percentage of Latino voters from the swing states.

"A Latino Decisions/ImpreMedia poll of registered Latino voters in battleground states showed 71 percent of those surveyed had an unfavorable view of Trump. Just 15 percent of the registered voters had a favorable view. Since they are registered voters, they would be citizens."

The Republicans need to dump the Trump as soon as they can. If Trump does become the 2016 GOP Nominee for President, he will very, very likely lose all of the swing States that Romney lost in 2012. (He will also likely lose NC.) And the Republicans will very, very likely lose the Senate with him as the 2016 GOP Nominee.



2. Nominate Senator Rubio for President!! in my opinion, Senator Rubio has the best chance out of the rest of the Republicans running to become President. Senator Rubio will very likely be able to win the State of Florida, which is a must win State for the Republicans next year. I can also see Rubio having a pretty good shot at winning the Presidency by him winning the swing States of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and Iowa, or by him winning the swing States of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and New Hampshire. (Hillary won't be as good as a Presidential candidate as Obama was.) And with Rubio as the 2016 GOP Nominee, the Republicans will have a pretty good chance at keeping the Senate.

If Conservative Republicans want more of the agenda that they want out of Washington D.C., then they need to win back the White House next year.

Boehner said if conservatives wanted to stop Obama they had to win the Senate in addition to the House. Now we have the House and the Senate and Speaker Ryan has just helped pass one of the most despicable omnibus spending bills ever laid upon the back of a taxpayer.

Here are two helpful ideals for the Republicans to be able to win back the White House next year.

Why? So we can continue to increase taxes and import more poverty from Latin America?

I think Sen. Rubio is a good man who made a big mistake with his gang of 8 amnesty. While a much better candidate than Hillary Clinton, Rubio is not a true conservative. Ted Cruz is someone who will enforce the border and has a proven record of fighting to push back against the growing size of government and wasteful spending. We don't want a watered down conservative who is going to continue offering tax increases in return for spending cuts that never happen. We want someone who is going to hold the line and it's not just me. It's the majority of Republican voters. It's a disenfranchised group of taxpayers that yes are a bit angry at what is happening to THEIR country.

Donald Trump is still victorious even if he doesn't get the nomination. If it were up to the establishment we wouldn't be talking about illegal immigration, our trade deficit with China, or the daily threat of radical Islam. They wouldn't be doing anything in the interests of conservatives either. Perhaps this primary will teach them a lesson.

I love how every variant of Republicans thinks his or her particular brand represents "true Conservatism." According to ajax, Ronald Reagan wasn't a conservative. The word becomes empty, meaning nothing more than "he agrees with my brand of fascism."
