It would be nice if the Republicans could show a united front. The sad news is the Establishment Republicans have no Backbone. They are no more than Democrat LITE. I truly believe that McConnel wants to stay in the minority where he feels comfortable. I hope that Conservatives and MAGA Republicans can take over and work to get us back to Make America Great Again. MAGA

The conservatives need to condense their values into easy to repeat jingle-type messages. The problem with conservative values is that it requires the ability to understand complicated, ethical ideas that the other side has very effectively demonized by name calling. Our unified platform has to be memorable, and somehow turn the tables on the vilifying of good old American values that the left has convinced people of. We have to get the word out to the masses circumventing the Main Stream Media. And, is it a little too late to be thinking about how to campaign at this stage, anyway? American strength and exceptionalism is circling the drain!

Republicans / Conservatives ( some Republicans are NOT true conservatives ) need to run on the issues that matter to the American people like: Inflation, Gas prices and energy independence, the border, voting security, our schools and what they are teaching our kids, strong military, out of control debt, THE SWAMP ( CORRUPT POLITICIANS- ESPECIALLY THE BIDENS AND CLINTONS, FBI, DOJ, IRS and THE CORRUPT MEDIA AND BIG TECH ) Also need to keep a careful eye on China, the Middle East and stay out of endless wars. Screw all the wokeness, BLM and all the other bullshit. Run on the meat and potatoes issues and constantly fight against the lies and deceit that come from the left and the swamp. The Republicans are an inch away from becoming the REPUBLICRAT PARTY and have been for quite a while. I know this is a lot but Trump had the energy / brains to tackle all this. This current administration is asleep and the President / VP are truly DUMB AND DUMBER, WAY OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE!

It doesn’t seem to MATTER what the GOP decides is ‘our Platform’ to ‘establishment’ or ‘never-whoever’ or pro-Dem RINO Repubs. It’s one thing to ‘say’ you support the Repub Platform – it’s an entire OTHER thing to ‘STAND’ for it when push comes to shove $$$$ and perks come into play in DC. I think the GOP has allowed Dems to infiltrate into the GOP, so we can never be ‘united’ or have a ‘united front’, like Dems have. Dems have it because they ‘all agree’ on ALL their different ‘group desires’. That is what ‘unites’ them. We don’t have that because we are more conscientious than that. We better figure out HOW to unite and STAND for things that the People sent us there to do, under a Republican Platform that the People depend on all its Reps. supporting and standing for! If you haven’t noticed, Dems have taken over – using Fraud and using our DOJ, FBI, CIA, USPS, IRS, colleges, universities, unions, school boards, the DOE, even our Border non-Enforcement agency, and so many other Govt entities!!! while Repubs look the other way, and pretend not to notice or care. Meanwhile our country is being taken over by Dem Radicals and Extremists, while we let ‘our friends across the aisle’ BLAME Repubs. and call US the ‘extremists’ and ‘radicals’!!! This is not looking good. We’re in trouble. When can we expect Repubs. to get in gear and help us fight this tyrant dictatorship that’s forming without ANY opposition! I mean, even a complete list of imbeciles is beating us! every day! while the American People are Suffering under their tyranny and subjectification of the masses. We’re in a Depression the likes of the Great Depression, and our Prez. just foisted upon the Nation higher taxes and an Inflation-lowering Bill that will only Increase Inflation even FASTER!!! Where ARE our GOP Reps. in DC??? And why would America ever expect ‘the next election’ to NOT BE as full of Fraud as the last one was??? Nothing has been done to correct anything! Nothing has been done to get rid of Dominion Software or render it ‘illegal’ for any State to have or buy. This, when several years earlier, even Dems were complaining about Dominion Software and warning about its use, and they KNEW that it was full of ‘fraudulent means’ to fix elections, and they also knew and warned about ‘mail-in voting’ as a Fraud mechanism – but not any more! But none of this has been brought to anyone’s attention, and everything just goes on ‘as usual’, when it is anything BUT ‘usual’ at all. Your citizens are getting riled up at all these things, and it’s NOT about Trump. We love Trump because he actually FIXED things in Govt., and that’s exactly WHY the Dems alternatively HATE Trump – and are threatened by him. He makes them all look to be ‘irrelevant’ when he fixed so many things all DC had been ‘working on’ for DECADES before he got there. And THAT’s why we want him back in DC. He wasn’t through. He was just beginning. And HE loved the People of America, AND America’s heritage he worked so hard to preserve.

I just love it when Republicans are labelled as: conservative, establishment, Trumpians, Never Trumpers, etc., etc., etc. I have been a Republican since I was 17. The grass roots efforts of Republicans in every state I’ve ever lived in has to do with electing COMPETENT representatives who focus on:
defending this country from threats both foregin and domestic: Eilitist power grabs, border protection, threats against our country, our businesses, industries and infrastructure.
AFFIRMING AND DEFENDING THE SOVERIEGNTY OF THE U.S. and U.S. CITIZENS
protecting individual rights & freedoms,
defending the constitution,
defending state rights,
cutting taxes, and
getting federal spending under control, i.e. balancing the Federal budget.
No matter what else comes out of the mouths of politicians or the media, these are the priorities and values we talk about at meetings, on the front porch, at trade lots, and after church.
I guess the difference really comes down to the arm chair Republican and the active Republican. One is talking about it in a divisive manner, the other is doing something about it by talking about it in an inclusive manner.
We all have our individual nuances about one thing or another, but when the rubber hits the road, and things have to get done, then UNITED WE STAND is the motto that represents the consistency of the party values and the foundation to whatever outcomes occur in this country.
Even armchair Republicans can:
VOLUNTEER ON ELECTION DAY AT YOUR LOCAL BOARD OF ELECTION!
VOLUNTEER FOR THE CADIDATE THAT NEEDS HELP GETTING HIS/HER NAME OUT THERE!
PUT UP A YARD SIGN!
MAKE PHONE CALLS TO ASK FOR THE VOTE!
All those things you truthfully list as things Republicans STAND for and WORK on, are Conservative ideals – the problem is that there are RINOs who DON’T love and work and stand for them. That’s why we call ourselves ‘Conservatives’. It’s not a ‘religious’ concept, as some believe. Those are just American ideals that most Republicans believe are valuable and worth keeping – whether you are religious or not. But in truth, most religious people are also Conservative thinkers because religion usually seeks to ‘uplift’ people, not subjectify them, as Dem Leftist thinking does, but cruelly and deceptively ‘labels’ themselves falsely as ‘progressive’ or ‘for the working man’, or ‘for the middle class’ or ‘for women’ – all things it ISN’T – but are able to convince people ‘it is’ by appealing to people’s vices, like ‘greed’ (which I guess is why we have RINOs – people with no principle and no character, but driven by ‘pride’, ‘money’, ‘status’, or the ‘LACK’ of morals or principle and character, which they find ‘acceptable’ or even admire). Not that ALL Dem voters are like them, but all Dem Reps are ultimately coerced into being unfaithful to their own conscience if they want to ‘succeed’ in the Dem Party, or for some perk offered to them if they oblige the leadership’s ludicrous demands for ‘unity’. And then there are the Dem Lib ‘religious’ who are a complete oddity that makes no sense since everything Dem Libs believe works against religion’s values, traits and goals, making their ‘religion’ just a lie and a farce.

The Republicans putting out a “platform” is IMPOSSIBLE. Conservative Republicans have a completely different belief system than the establishment Republicans. The Washington DC Republicans, who only pretend to reside in “home states”, like McConnell, Romney, et al, are more closely aligned with the DC Democrats than their voters in “flyover country”. Conservative Republicans will NOT be in control of Congress no matter how big the landslide is in the midterms.

I have had a growing sense that many career republicans in the Congress are comfortable with being the proverbial underdog or feign being a martyr as it takes less effort than standing out front and leading. This is why we need younger generation blood in the Congress because the professional pols my age (70) and older have lost momentum.
I agree, as I am also over 60. But I disagree about losing their momentum…they’ve lost their morals and values. Many DC Republicans vote more inline with Democrats, almost never CONSERVATIVE

Haven’t read a single comment (and they may be out there, just haven’t seen them) about the most effective way to squelch the hunger for power – TERM LIMITS. There needs to be a big push to find reasonable limits. They should be long enough to allow for effective understanding of the system, yet force politicians to go back home and be average citizens again. NO paid speaking engagements while in office; no special privileges unless DIRECTLY related to position responsibilities; and NO FOREVER PAYCHECKS.
A party willing to publicly support these ideas will be demonstrating a desire to serve, rather than be served.
As a long time Californian who voted for term limits, they don’t work. Here, for instance, what was supposed to apply to all, by the time it got through the courts, only ended up applying to STATE legislators. Courts said all FED offices were “unfairly treated” since not ALL states had term limits. So, TERM LIMITS would have to be a Constitutional Amendment to have the desired effect. You’ld never get the DC Republicans to go along.
There is an ongoing effort to organize a Convention of States (COS) as prescribed in the U.S. Constitution. At the convention 3 amendments to the US Consititution will be presented, one of which is FEDERAL TERM LIMITS! We need 30 states to RATIFY legislation approving a COS. We have 19 states ratified so far. N.C. Republican led Senate let us down this year. Republican leader of the Senate didn’t allow it on the floor for a vote. So, other states need to get busy and organize.

Everyone keeps talking about the next election as if they have forgotten the massive amount of fraud in the last election…..and they got away with it. Most Republicans were content to just move along and pretend it didn’t happen, or at least were unwilling to fight. What makes people think that they won’t have another crooked election? Republican politicians need to first be real Republicans, and then they need to grow a backbone. Most of all, both sides should remember, God is still in charge.
We also need a change in terminology. Rather than Dems/Repubs, how about Conservatives and DC Liberals? Sadly, Many current DC Republicans are not in the CONSERVATIVE PARTY. And sorry, but GOD should not get the blame for our current situqation. More, it is our current gov’t, dem and repub alike, who has put God “on the shelf”.
I agree with JER I’ve been Republican ever since I’ve been able to register to vote. It’s Frustrating when Republicans talk a good game but then when they get in they sit on their hands and Just give to the Democrats wishes. just like Lindsey Graham was talking about taking Hillary to jail for all her stuff. And of course nothing happened. They had control of the senate the White House in Congress before the midterm elections the last time. And did nothing and the Democrats got control and here we are. granted there’s some good ones out there, But the party is not united with them. The Republicans need to unite and be strong and get it done

This election is ripe for Republican commitments. Here’s the list: (1) State the causes of inflation and their legislative solutions, (2) State their solutions to close and control the southern border of the U. S., (3) State how they plan to strengthen the U. S. military for a significantly more capable counter to the duel threat of China and Russia (3) Provide a long term plan for an alternative to the Democrats rush through a Green New Deal, (4) Provide policies and money to bring law, order, and peace back to our U. S. cities, (5) Provide a legislative solution to quick pull-back of manufacture of all goods that America uses and needs from China, (6) Fix the Social Security and Medicare revenue shortfalls for both the short term and long term, and (7) Ensure that all the annual appropriation and authorization bills pass the Congress by mid-September, and (8) Focus the Congress on doing their necessary business of running the country and stop spending the tiem of Congress bashing people in the administration.
MORITORIUM ON ALL IMMIGRATION; RETURN TO HOME ALL ILLEGAL FOREIGN NATIONALS & CHILDREN; MORITORIUM ON ALL FOREIGN AID FOR AS LONG AS NEEDED; DISOLVE THE FBI, REMOVE ALL BAD ACTORS FROM DOJ, CIA, & ALL OTHER AGENCIES & PROSECUTE THEIR CRIMES; MUST ALLOW FOR POTUS TO FIRE ALL BAD ACTORS IN BUREAUCRACY!! NATURAL BORN CITIZENS ONLY IN ALL GOVERNMENT POSITIONS; NO FOREIGNORS IN GOVERNMENT POSITIONS; END ALL CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN GOVERNMENT & SCHOOLS; MANDATORY EDUCATION OF ALL STUDENTS IN US HISTORY & CIVICS ESP CONSTITUTION, BILL OF RIGHTS & DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE…..REBUILD MILITARY, REINSTITUTE DJT POLICIES TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AS IT WAS DOING JUST THAT!!
PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT CURRENT ADMIN IS BEHOLDEN TO THE NWO ELITE GLOBALISTS, WEF, CFR, CCP.& ARE INSTITUTING THEIR AGENDA TO PUSH THE ‘GREAT RESET’ WHICH WILL DESTROY OUR REPUBLIC! RESEARCH THEM, SCHWAB, SOROS, ROCKEFELLER, ROTHSCHILD=GLOBALISTS-READ THE BOOK BY JACQUES ATALLI “BRIEF HISTORY OF FUTURE” 1981,2006 TO UNDERSTAND THEIR AGENDA; SEE THE ROCKEFELLER LOCK STEP PROGRAM AS WELL…OUR NATION IS UNDER ATTACK BY GLOBALISTS, THERE ARE MANY POLITICIANS WHO HAVE ATTENDED THEIR NWO INDOCTRINATION SCHOOL=www.younggloballeaders.org & must be removed from office & bidens administration; Buttigieg is one….there plan is for global domination over all nations & we see the disastrous effects of what they have put in place..ie Sri Lanka’s destruction, farmers in the Netherlands, the fake global warming agenda designed to steal $$ & destroy nations quickly, intentional food shortage, inflation, all intentional & designed by these globalists…again look at Sir Lanka! We need to remove all these people from our government…
SPOT ON! We must STOP THE INTERNATIONAL PANDEMIC TREATY currently being promoted that will give the W.H.O. “authority” to pronounce “Pandemics”, “Medical Emergencies” and take actions within the borders of treaty signers/participants to determine treatments, even allowing for military intervention from United Nations Forces against non-compliant citizens, i.e. imprisonment in isolation camps. Biden has already assigned authority to Homeland Security who them transferred it to FEMA regarding planning. this allows a “foreign entity” to determine YOUR health care choices. A treaty carries the weight of a constitutional amendment. LOOK IT UP! It will be voted on this FALL. Contact your Legislators, Federal and State. SAY NO to the International Pandemic Treaty!
Sorry, but the useless Republican Party will not do any of this. I’m sick and tired of Republican Party being crapped on by the democraps. They just take it and do nothing in return. We need new leaders who have the balls to fight back and do something to stop the destruction of our country.If this was President Trump doing any of this, he would have been impeached again.

Senator Mcconnell seems to be of the mind that it’s best to continue to remind the voters of the Dems bad job and not put issues on the table that give the dems the opportunity to change the subject. However, in today’s political climate, people want to know what the Repubs stand for. Mlaybe a good compromise is to start showing plans when we’re closer to the Nov voting deadlines. I, personally, would like to see the repubs run on and emphasize the so called MAGA policies.
Republicans need to tell voters what they are for & not just dwell on what they are against. And the last poll that I saw is that 68% of Republicans believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump .
THE EVIDENCE IS OUT THERE! IN PA ALONE THEY RECIEVED MORE MAIL IN BALLOTS THAN WERE ACTUALLY SENT OUT!!! THAT IS FRAUD…WHAT GOV IN PA, PA SUPREME COURT & AG DID TO CHANGE VOTING LAWS RIGHT BEFORE ELECTION WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL & SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED!! ONLY THE STATE LEGISLATURE CAN MAKE OR CHANGE ELECTION LAWS, NO ONE ELSE!!!
Well, what good ole Mitch seems to have forgotten is the voting schedules have changed, and that early voters are casting ballots throughout October and so those messages need to be on the schedule for SEPTEMBER, which means they should have been produced and reserved in JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST at the latest.
I hope Mitch has mentored his replacement as far as strategic leadership is concerned. Other than that, he is not a RHINO…he’s just gotten very old and every day he wakes up is a successful day. Until you get that age you can’t appreciate the truth of that statement. The once strategic genius and victorious leader now appears to be too tired to think in terms of victory, much less pick up the sword and fight. I may be 100% wrong, but until Kentuckians vote him out, we’ll have to wait and see.

The Republicans have already been laying out their plans but many people only watch the biased fake news. Apparently they and the Democrats keep saying the the Conservatives have no plan because they always lie. So if they purposely go out there and say exactly what they will do, it may squelch some of their lying. Really, all the Conservatives need to do is simply reverse anything that Biden and his comrades have thrown upon us!

RESEARCH THEM, SCHWAB, SOROS, ROCKEFELLER, ROTHSCHILD=GLOBALISTS-READ THE BOOK BY JACQUES ATALLI “BRIEF HISTORY OF FUTURE” 1981,2006 TO UNDERSTAND THEIR AGENDA; SEE THE ROCKEFELLER LOCK STEP PROGRAM AS WELL…OUR NATION IS UNDER ATTACK BY GLOBALISTS, THERE ARE MANY POLITICIANS WHO HAVE ATTENDED THEIR NWO INDOCTRINATION SCHOOL=www.younggloballeaders.org & must be removed from office & bidens administration; Buttigieg is one….there plan is for global domination over all nations & we see the disastrous effects of what they have put in place..ie Sri Lanka’s destruction, farmers in the Netherlands, the fake global warming agenda designed to steal $$ & destroy nations quickly, intentional food shortage, inflation, all intentional & designed by these globalists…again look at Sir Lanka!

SPOT ON! We must STOP THE INTERNATIONAL PANDEMIC TREATY currently being promoted that will give the W.H.O. “authority” to pronounce “Pandemics”, “Medical Emergencies” and take actions within the borders of treaty signers/participants to determine treatments, even allowing for military intervention from United Nations Forces against non-compliant citizens, i.e. imprisonment in isolation camps. Biden has already assigned authority to Homeland Security who them transferred it to FEMA regarding planning. this allows a “foreign entity” to determine YOUR health care choices. A treaty carries the weight of a constitutional amendment. LOOK IT UP! It will be voted on this FALL. Contact your Legislators, Federal and State. SAY NO to the International Pandemic Treaty!
Fantastic!
Sorry, but the useless Republican Party will not do any of this. I’m sick and tired of Republican Party being crapped on by the democraps. They just take it and do nothing in return. We need new leaders who have the balls to fight back and do something to stop the destruction of our country.If this was President Trump doing any of this, he would have been impeached again.
Look what the “Contract with America” did. I would love to see another “Contract with America” that simply stated what the Republicans would do if in control of Congress. Then ask all running for Congress to sign it. If the RINOs refused to sign, kick them out of the party.
Strong yes to Republican platform: Voters need to know what Republicans plan to do & will they remain Partisan or try to unite USA citizens as they were prior to Obama / Trump terms. Will they represent all Americans & not just Republicans & will they accept election results in the future ???
Democrats and Republicans are to far and to long divided to come together! Conservatives should continue to build the party concentrating on marginalizing liberals and rhinos so that we can build or country back to what our founders invisioned.
Senator Mcconnell seems to be of the mind that it’s best to continue to remind the voters of the Dems bad job and not put issues on the table that give the dems the opportunity to change the subject. However, in today’s political climate, people want to know what the Repubs stand for. Mlaybe a good compromise is to start showing plans when we’re closer to the Nov voting deadlines. I, personally, would like to see the repubs run on and emphasize the so called MAGA policies.
Republicans need to tell voters what they are for & not just dwell on what they are against. And the last poll that I saw is that 68% of Republicans believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump .
THE EVIDENCE IS OUT THERE! IN PA ALONE THEY RECIEVED MORE MAIL IN BALLOTS THAN WERE ACTUALLY SENT OUT!!! THAT IS FRAUD…WHAT GOV IN PA, PA SUPREME COURT & AG DID TO CHANGE VOTING LAWS RIGHT BEFORE ELECTION WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL & SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED!! ONLY THE STATE LEGISLATURE CAN MAKE OR CHANGE ELECTION LAWS, NO ONE ELSE!!!
Talk about a RINO!!
Well, what good ole Mitch seems to have forgotten is the voting schedules have changed, and that early voters are casting ballots throughout October and so those messages need to be on the schedule for SEPTEMBER, which means they should have been produced and reserved in JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST at the latest.
I hope Mitch has mentored his replacement as far as strategic leadership is concerned. Other than that, he is not a RHINO…he’s just gotten very old and every day he wakes up is a successful day. Until you get that age you can’t appreciate the truth of that statement. The once strategic genius and victorious leader now appears to be too tired to think in terms of victory, much less pick up the sword and fight. I may be 100% wrong, but until Kentuckians vote him out, we’ll have to wait and see.
The Republicans have already been laying out their plans but many people only watch the biased fake news. Apparently they and the Democrats keep saying the the Conservatives have no plan because they always lie. So if they purposely go out there and say exactly what they will do, it may squelch some of their lying. Really, all the Conservatives need to do is simply reverse anything that Biden and his comrades have thrown upon us!
Other then a few, I feel many republicans are part of the swamp. They want power not what’s is good for the USA. Today’s headline ” The World has changed with the war in Ukraine” I believe the world has changed as a result of Bidens’s election.
As a former local politician it is easy to say what your against…but voters want to know what you will do differently and what you stand for..they need a reason to vote FOR you. The choices this year are clear cut.
Must promote an America First platform across the board
Is that what Steve Bannon is pushing ??? What is this platform?
