Republican and Democrat pins on American flag

In last Tuesday’s special election for the Congressional seat formerly held by Republican George Santos (NY-03) who was ousted by the GOP, the Democrat candidate won with 59% of the vote. How do you think this bodes for Republican chances in November?

When will the GOP wake up and realize the DEM’S do not waiver in their unity? The DEM’S cannot function without lying, cheating and caring nothing for the American people as long as the end result gives them the power to dictate their false ideas to the country. They have the perfect Puppet in place in a jerk named Joe Biden, the so-called unifier of America. They have no intention of stopping the mass influx of migrants to this country, nor do they want to. They care nothing for laws, as they break them daily. GOP must clean their house of Rino’s and do it quickly or this country will continue to flush itself down the toilet. Disgusting times we live in…

Despite being a modern-day “great Gatsby,” booting George Santos out of Congress prior to being tried and convicted, sets a very dangerous precedent.  If Santos had been a dumbocrat, there would not have been the uproar and rush to expel him. Just look at “gold bar” Senator Bob Mendendez!

Our party’s lack of cohesiveness in Congress has proven to be detrimental. Whereas the Republican party is littered with RINO’s, the Dumbocrat party doesn’t appear to have DINO’s.

But did you see who the GOP put up as a candidate to replace “Shamster Santos”? A recovering Democrat! If we don’t select solid, wise, committed, patriotic conservatives as candidates at the local, state, and federal levels for upcoming elections, we are doomed! Perhaps we need to look for leaders that resemble the qualities of King Solomon.

Republicans need replace the old stogie foggiest of the party. They need to get a new chairperson who brings better ideas to the party. Lastly old Mitch needs to retire. His usual game plan has only ended up keeping the Democrats in office.

Why does anyone at all believe we have fair, honest, verifiable and certifiable elections? Give me a break, the entire system has been set up to ensure s-elections. Early Ballot is wholesale fraud, and if, in the end, you still need some more votes, you simply adjust the Cast Vote Record for the result you desire. Then you prevent, with with unabridged lawfare, any real review of their fictitious results.

I don’t know why Santos didn’t just switch parties. With his lying and corruption, he would have been right at home with the democrats.

Most of the GOP, like Mike Turner and that McCaul guy are nothing but controlled assets. Even if we succeed electing DJT it’s likely that the GOP will just find a way to blow it. Clowns like McConnel and Lankford are not on our side. They hate we the people.

Here is the main problem. Focusing on “Republican” vs Democrat”. Let face the facts, there are far too many “Republicans” who get elected that are in no way conservative. Mitch the Turtle, Mitt Romney. Lindsey Graham, and on and on. The GOP obviously does not care about conservatives or conservatism at all. I refuse to send any money to support them because the GOP is just like the RINOs in office. They only want to maintain what power they can and do not care about true conservative principals.
In the end, all this supposed fighting between Republicans and Democrats is parallel to the bogus battles between the WWF wrestling superstars. All staged for our amusement , but more importantly a distraction to keep us from seeing what is really going on. Reminds me of RATCs. RATC, my acronym for “Romans At The Colosseum” watching the Christians get ate by the lions while the empire crumbled around them.

The GOP better get behind Trump and realize their “base” is going to nominate him regardless. We’re done with Biden. That means the GOP better get unified and start supporting Republicans in the Senate and House so Trump will have a majority in both. Otherwise it won’t matter if Trump wins or not.

The result in this special election is not particularly illuminating.

What will drive the results in November is how President Trump performs in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina. If he can win five of these seven states, we should hold the House and flip the Senate.

If he can win four of these seven states, it’s 50/50 on holding the House and flipping the Senate is still a good possibility assuming that we don’t choose any more Herschel Walker or Dr. Oz types in the primaries.

Winning less than four of these seven states, ……………….

I expect the Dems are working on the big cheat in every State that matters. And I think they have something planned that may stop the election. It is a sad time for America and I am so glad I don’t have any grandkids to worry about.

I suspect that the RNC did not get behind the candidate (as usual). I am glad that Ronna McDaniel will soon be gone. I think Vivek Ramaswamy would be a good choice. I don’t know his financial qualifications, but he seems to have the drive and enthusiasm lacking in many of the top Republican players.

If you think Conservatives stand a chance against a “secure election” in November, think again. After watching Tucker Carlson’s video, ‘Everything You Need to Know about the Government’s Mass Censorship Campaign,’ our Pravda government will not let a Republican nominee win the Presidential election. It wouldn’t matter who runs. There is no election integrity, and almost every Cable news outlet, all of MSM, every chat platform, and a lot of radio stations (bought up by Soros), are controlled by censorship. I am so thoroughly disgusted with our government departments for going full throttle Marxist. Please write your Congressman about dissolving the Atlantic Council consortium and stopping the massive censorship before it’s too late.

We can always rely on the GOP to shoot themselves in the foot. With a razor thin majority, they decide to boot Santos out and lose the special election, giving them an even slimmer majority. I am sick and tired of the GOPs stupidity. Santos may not have been the poster child for honesty, but he was better than any democrat in that NY district.

Another example of how the Republicans don’t stick together. the Democrats, on the other hand are in lockstep. One example, I notice Menendez is still sitting in the Senate, look at his charges versus the ones Santos was tossed for. Stupid is the word. Should have considered the narrow margin in the House.

Expecting honesty and integrity among our Elected Congressmen and Senators seems to be a long lost desire. Insider trading, bribes, “gifts” from Big Pharma and any other institution that wants favor in DC. All appears ok in DC these days. That is if you are the right party, Democrats. The so called sins committed by Trump or any other Republican are considered unforgivable and they must be prosecuted and banned scream the DemocRATS. Yet when the same transgressions are committed by a DemocRAT, i.e. Bill Clinton, well that is just Bill being Bill, nothing to see here. Insider trading, how could you think such a thing would go on. Coaching a DemocRAT Candidate for office to lie to voters to tell them what they want to hear just to win and then revert to true colors. Nothing to see here either. That this could happen in New York or California or Illinois, who would be surprised. The States with the biggest crime and the criminals learn from their elected leaders.
We continue to hope that the Republican Party gets their act together and begins to be a true member of the Republican Party. The DemocRATS are a lot like the old Mafia of the Godfather era. They are fiercely loyal to their skewed beliefs and to their Party. Their goal is to maintain POWER at all costs and their Constituents be damned. There are far too many RINO’s in DC and they need to be replaced by true Republicans. We need strong Republican Leadership.

This is The Peoples Republic of New York. The majority of voters are democrats (2 – 1 over Republicans) who only vote for the letter “D”. I am convinced that the general election will go to whomever has the “D” after their name. Democrats are not smart enough to see what is going on around them, and how their party has ruined this country.

While I watched the results of the NY-3 special election, I must admit I have no idea why Mazi Pilip lost so badly. And this despite the fact I lived over 60 years in Suffolk County, LI. Outspent, out gamed, weak candidate? I can’t say, though I would have voted for Pilip in a heartbeat. It’s beyond time for Republicans to get smart and vote like the future of America depends on it. Numbers count!
While this may be a wake up call for the GOP, it’s an even bigger wake up call for me. I’ll be digging deeper to support conservative candidates. I just mailed donations to Elise Stefanik (NY-21) and Marc Molinaro (NY-19). More to come. Think nationally, act locally! Give ’till it hurts.

That district had been in Democrat hands for years, and the voters were familiar with Suozzo. Santos was an anomaly, and might well have lost to Suozzi had he not run for governor. Therefore, this election was not bellweather for the broader election in November.

This is a typical example has under performed since 2016. They failed to reform Obama care when they controlled both branches of Government. There was no red wave in 2020. Since taking control of the House in 2020, they have failed to work together. Republicans in Congress need to wake up, quit grandstanding and produce something useful for America.

We didn’t need that special election in Long Island to tell us that the Democrats have a much more effective approach to winning (or stealing) elections. Republicans should have already worked harder, and still should in the next few months, to return election laws to pre-COVID sanity. Like they have in Florida.
But this special election reminds us of another important factor. Our candidates to represent the people should reflect the population that they’re representing. Suozzi looks and acts like he comes from Long Island. His opponent looked like she just got off the plane from (who knows where), and spoke with a foreign accent. I’m not saying that being an immigrant should disqualify someone from office. But I am saying that they’re much less likely to win an election.
Due to redistricting, my Congressional district in Pennsylvania, which used to be reliably Republican, has turned blue. But I’d really like to know where we’re getting the rather strange and unlikely Republican candidates who have run for the seat, in the last few cycles. And Dr. Oz running for Senate? Really? It’s obvious that the main reason that the U.S. Senate has a Democrat majority right now is because of the amazing string of unlikely candidates that keep running on the Republican side. In particular, the two Senators from Georgia could never have won, if they were running against real candidates.

The GOP remains disorganized and needs a MUCH better ground game. We need to make sure we get voters to the polls (older folks that can’t get there on their own need to be bussed in or brought by neighbors). We need to make sure we get voters out early. We need to make sure they take advantage of mail-in ballots (I don’t support mail-in ballots, but we need to do what we need to do). We also need to unite and stop being argumentative.

Two points come to mind from the NY special election. First, the Democrats frequently follow what I call the Run Right and Rule Left plan. They move more to the right/center during their campaign to attract conservative voters. Then, when they get elected, they move back to the Left and rule (not govern) following their usual Leftist/Progressive agenda and philosophy.
Second, the GOP has a very well developed skill in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, as I’ve heard it said. The GOP needs to draft much better candidates, but they also have to really work on their messaging. Often, they jumble their messages or garble what they stand for. The GOP needs to pick 2 or 3 strong messages and then hammer on them. Get the message straight and stick to it.

New York has lost their way because of dumbass voters. They have copied California who is bankrupt and have turned their backs on America and the American people. The Republicans have got to push back and not let the criminal Democrats continue breaking the law and using the law as a lawless tool.

What is missing is a choice that says that if the republican candidate had endorsed President Trump she would have won easily. Since she failed to speak favorable about Trump, the republican voters that would have gotten her elected stayed home and she lost.

Tom Suozzi is a career politician running for any election available. He was Nassau County Executive, tried to run for Governor then settle for congress. He left congress to try again for governor, but lost – now he is back in congress.
As to Republicans waking up, they better – the Democrats are blaming them for the border crisis, economy and wars. The republican message is nonexistent.
