@cleftlipgroyper@realloganallen3@GroyperGreg Who would you offer to run? John McCentee, who is nothing but a social media influencer, or is it James Fishback, who ran for Florida Gov and got 10% of the Republican vote? Is it really that crazy for me to suggest a popular 7 term congressman who splits with the GOP often?
@Knights_Glory@realloganallen3@GroyperGreg He lost his seat to 35 million dollars and to the president, who is still popular among “republicans” in KY-04 and campaigned for Ed Gallrein. Massie would have the independent vote.
Some issues, like protecting unborn babies or defending the 2nd Amendment, are worth a firm, unyielding stance from Republicans, even if it means incurring catastrophic electoral losses. That’s not what happened last night.
Fighting another country’s war is NOT worth the bloodbath Republicans endured at the polls. It wasn’t the hill to die on, yet so many Republicans followed Trump’s lead right off a cliff. No votes were ever taken to declare that war, making it yet another unconstitutional war in a series of unconstitutional wars that we have been conditioned to accept.
Kentucky state reps and senators who were defeated had nothing to do with that war, or any of the other national issues that ultimately to their defeat. Nevertheless, they were casualties of the national party’s deliberate refusal to listen to voters.
MAGA started off with kitchen table issues; fixing infrastructure at home, building the wall, improving the economy, etc. Trump himself said “I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars!" He also said he’d release the Epstein files.
In a complete reversal, we have ended up with a costly foreign war and out-of-control fuel prices. High fuel prices have increased the cost of virtually everything, which is why you are seeing the Heartland vote for Democrats for the first time in decades. Moreover, Trump called the Epstein investigation a hoax and no new prosecutions have occurred in the U.S. (although three high profile individuals have been charged overseas in Great Britain and Norway.)
My fellow republicans can blame me for stating the truth, or they can blame the shameful departure from principle that has led us here.
We will NOT regain or maintain the confidence of voters by burying our heads in the sand and pretending like everything is fine when it isn’t. The economy is not great, people aren’t stupid!
We MUST grab the helm and steer the ship back into policies (and candidates who support policies) that shrink the size of government, cut spending, stop screwing around overseas, and keep our money at home where it belongs. 🇺🇸
Israel’s agents are working overtime on social media to make Ron DeSantis, a man who prides himself as the most pro-Israel governor in the nation, the front runner for the Republican party in 2028. THOMAS MASSIE 2028
Thomas Massie just admitted it might be time for a “third party.”
“The two-party system is an illusion.”
“The lobbyists will just spend more time with whichever party ascends.”
“They keep you distracted with fake food fights.”
“In foreign policy, it’s hard for me to see a difference.”
“The crime I committed, I started throwing real punches without regard for whose party you belong to.”
Then, he opened up about his meeting his Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Joe Kent.
“What did we talk about?”
“Our concern about nuclear war.”
“We spent a lot of time talking about this.”
“Putin could get backed into a corner and use nuclear weapons.”
“Or our own President could use nuclear weapons.”
“I don’t think they even care up here.”
“Do we need a third party?”
“We’ve got six parties shoehorned into two.”
“I think there could be room there.”

Thomas Massie: Republicans broke nearly every promise they made.
Massie says he was effectively purged from Congress for holding the GOP accountable on its campaign pledges—pushing the Epstein files transparency, opposing new foreign wars, and fighting to cut government spending.
He tried to enforce those commitments through legislation and paid the political price.
@Tim_The_Sandman@Jtodd601 I don’t think our goal should be to dig ourselves out of a two-party system, but instead infiltrate as liberty-minded Republicans, like Massie. The DSA has been very successful doing it, why don’t we give it a shot?
@Bobsky75@CohenJeffr13976 That’s not how “projected winner” works. When a candidate is likely to win but not completely out of trouble, they will just say likely or lean.
