  1. Are Republicans ceding the election to the Democrats?

    Sometimes it seems that way.

    Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, and those running for office in November have sought his endorsement. The qualifier is, they must affirm that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

    CNN reports, "Donald Trump needs you to know that Republican candidates don’t just like him, they love him. And they need him. Badly.

    "At a rally on Saturday night for Ohio GOP Senate nominee J.D. Vance, Trump made sure the crowd knew that Vance was subservient to him – big time.

    “J.D. is kissing my ass he wants my support so bad,” Trump said.

    "Trump was reacting to a New York Times story that reported Vance had not actually invited Trump to campaign with him in the state. Instead, Trump’s team had simply told Vance that they would be coming to Ohio for a rally.

    "Trump’s campaign stops have always been, primarily, about Trump. You can tell that by the amount of time he spends talking about himself versus how much time he spends talking about the candidate for whom he is ostensibly campaigning."

    It's not just Trump.

    Dean Obeidallah writes, "Some leading Republicans gave Americans a master class on extremism this past week by repeatedly reminding us about the threat they pose to our freedoms and our democracy.

    "Examples of this extremism run the gamut: From two majority-Republican states imposing draconian abortion bans, to voters picking an election denier to be New Hampshire’s GOP nominee for the US Senate, to GOP governors cruelly treating Latino human beings as anything but, to former President Donald Trump’s ominous warning about “big problems” the country will face if he is indicted.

    "After imposing new bans on practically all abortions, Republicans in Indiana and West Virginia are saying that a woman’s uterus effectively becomes the property of the state from the moment of conception.

    "Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott are trying to one-up each other with their callous shuttling of Latino migrants to distant blue state locales to score political points."

    Then there is the former Republican President issuing a threat to the American people, stating that if he is charged with any crimes over keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home after leaving the White House, “I think you’d have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before.”

    Obeidallah continued, "Election denier Dan Bolduc captured the New Hampshire GOP nomination for the US Senate in Tuesday’s primary. After the primary, Bolduc dropped his election denialism, making a conveniently timed realization that after having “done a lot of research” on the matter, “unfortunately, President (Joe) Biden is the legitimate president."

    The Republican Party is expected to win control of Congress in November. If that happens we Americans deserve whatever happens to us.

      I’m not sure what you are asking for, perhaps it’s this:

      https://repolitics.com/forums/forum/9-us-federal-politics/
       

      If you go to that link, you are in American Federal Politics.  You can start a new topic or post your opinions in any of the existing ones.
