Repubs unified? There are still to many useless RINOs infiltrating the party. I still doubt there will be a red wave simply because the leftists dems have no option but to cheat like crazy. Besides, there is no way the repubs are up to the task of making any real changes…they are trying to fight off the leftist’s attacks on the citizens. Politicians rarely do what they say because they are saying things to buy votes. And whatever they try to fix, they usually screw it up and make things worse. My only hope is that the leftist dems can be slowed down.

A similar plan “Contract with America” worked well for Newt Gingrich and the GOP in 1994, but then the GOP went on to keep 7 of 10 promises in that contract. Today, there may be too many GOP RINOs that could jeopardize promises made. And not keeping promises is worse than no promises made. That factor must be evaluated before any move at “promises” is attempted.

A concise platform is a positive way to win elections as proven by the platform proposed by Newt Gingrich, however there must also be a concise history of the last six years and how the actions of the Democrat party and its minions have not only attacked the positive actions and successes of the Republican administration to tear down this country and its leaders not to improve the country but strictly to turn our country into a third world country and by spending money that was manufactured not earned to put us all in debt that our children and grand children can never recover from. We must emphasize and convince voters that a vote for a Democrat is one step closer to poverty for all. .

I voted yes because its time for Americans to say this is what we stand for, and we don’t care who it offends or who it feeds fodder to. For the past 2 years we’ve been “trembling in our boots” too afraid of who we offend domestically and globally. Those offended at American principles, especially patriotic ones, can shut up and get over it and /or move on to somewhere they think is better. You’ve wrecked our country for two years – or more -and we no longer care what you think or how you feel. While you did the wrecking, we in the middle class did the paying. Millions of us have had it with sorry people and criminal government, and if Republicans don’t fix the government, rest assured most states will quickly act. Some like Florida and Texas have shown the way, and others are taking notice.

If they regain control the Republicans need to act and act swiftly to regain stability. They keep saying that the only way to restore this country to strength at home and globally is to elect them in November. That sounds hollow, swampy.

It’s out of control and we don’t hear many Senators or Reps speaking and living Truth for the American people, rather than themselves and their twitter followers.

We need to clearly state why Republicans deserve a chance to govern again. Voters are tired of the BS & then nothing changes. It should be a cake walk because the current Marxist morons are so destructive to America. However, I never underestimate the ability of Republican leaders to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory – a strong Rino trait! McConnell is so smarmy swamp!
I love Trump, but his age & toxicity with many emotional low info voters are big negatives for him running again. He should be a king maker, & let DeSantis, Scott, Noem, or another younger Republican run, & then be part of the administration to continue making America great again.
China terrifies me. We need strength & resolve, not wimpy deceit while lining pockets. That goes for the drug cartels as well – $$$$ is the #1 reason they let it pour across our border.

If they insist on putting out a platform, it should be another Contract with America. The true Republicans/Conservatives will have no problem with this, but the Party has been infiltrated with DemoncRATS in disguise and still has too many RINOS. And they must be dedicated to campaigning in every state, neighborhood and community that is hungering for conservative leadership to bring them back to what they had under our former POTUS. Every corner of the country, locally & nationally, is vitally important to the Party, not just the “swing” states. Then they need to get to serious about real work. Their next campaign can’t start the day after the election. There’s too much to undo and expose.

There is a Republican platform and Trump performed the points the best of any of the past Republican Presidents. The Democrats in 2008 rejected God in their platform.

We don’t need the Romney like that reject the policies that are Constitutional. Nothing like voting with Democrats on the issues that steal American liberties.

Of course we need to see a unified message from the Republicans.

Republicans definitely need to tell the American people what they plan to do to correct the direction of this country if the GOP remakes one or both houses of Congress.

What the party needs is leadership that will not fund the campaigns of RINO candidates. We need a unified Republican party with core values that each candidate must abide to in order to receive funding. We need a new contract with America as was established by Newt Gingrich when he was Speaker of the House. Trump has been successful because he laid out his agenda and communicated it effectively to the American people. His promises made and his promises were kept. The Republicans must demonstrate some intestinal fortitude and stay united. Those RINOS that break ranks must be disciplined and have funding withdrawn from future elections. They must learn the consequences of turning traitor and siding with the Communists.
