GOP civil war

[Wolfstrike]

With or without Trump, GOP insurgency plans for a civil war in 2018 midterms


enough is enough

 

[whitehall]

A crazy socialist Sanders democrat ambushed an entire baseball team of republicans about 3 months ago and H'wood celebs threatened to assault and even murder the President. Crazy angry democrats smashed windows on inauguration day and the left thinks Republicans are going to start a civil war?

 

[TheOldSchool]

Good. States don't have electoral colleges, so I hope the craziest nutjobs ever are the ones the GOP base nominates.

 

[Nosmo King]

Here's the issue. The tax plan rolled out this week. The Republicans have the congress and the White House. This plan is a tax cut. This is the marrow of the Republican Party. If they can't get this tax plan through, they're done. If they can't get their tent pole issue passed, they can't do anything.

And then, arch them implode.

They'll try to push the looniest members of their party elected. Americans will face palm themselves to the polls and vote for sanity. And if the only place they can find sanity is the Democratic ticket...

Oh really? Yes they do and they even have web-pages! Here is the web-space for the Electoral College in Pennsylvania:

I truly hope the GOP starts a civil war.

 

[Mr.Blonde]

The GOP has been in a civil war really since 08.

No one can predict what will happen until after the primaries next year because one of two things will happen:

If incumbents are primaried out then you could see Republicans not only winning, but get a super majority.

If we see low voter turnout for the Republicans then the Democrats could get the legislative branch back.

Either could happen because both are playing Russian Roulette (oh the irony)

The GOP civil war has been raging since 2010 and we are still kicking the living shit out of the Democrats.

A reactionary Republican insurgency angry that the GOP isn’t bigoted, racist, and hateful enough, who have nothing but contempt for sound, responsible governance, and seek only to pursue the failed, wrongheaded conservative agenda.

The reprehensible right versus the even more reprehensible right – neither of whom fit to hold public office.

 

[westwall]

No, if you're a sane person you don't. Too many innocents are killed in a Civil War. Only a true imbecile wishes for that sort of horrible event.

The civil war is between the scum like Ryan and McConnell vs the commoners who want to be left alone.

Actually it is a 3-way civil war. On 1 side is Bannon, the other is the establishment and the third are people who can't stand either side. I couldn't stand either candidate in Alabama.

The Bannon side is small. The biggest group are the people who just hate DC and want it to shrink. This is why I voted for Trump. I (and many other people I feel) hate the establishment Ryan, McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer, and the namless bureaucrats etc that we voted for Trump for the sole purpose of making them miserable.

In a GOP civil war, should both sides cripple each other, would be a victory for the American people.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Almost 4 million people more voted against Trump than for him. His approval rating has hovered in the mid to high 30%'s. And the Republicans, even having control of all three branches of the government, cannot repeal Obamacare (thanks mostly to republican voters showing up at town halls in their states and screaming at the Congressman to not repeal it without a replacement). And we see these pockets of conservatives in some of these red states that are simply religious fanatics that only want to elect religious fanatics.

The Democrats will win the Senate back in 2018 and likely the House as well. All of Trump's plans will then be a distant memory. The wall will end. And Trump and his cronies will be facing Congressional investigations the likes of which have not been seen since Watergate. The Democrats will control all the machinery, with impeachment solidly on the table. Benghazi was fun eh? Fasten your seatbelts cons, the sequel will be produced by Democrats and it's going to be a scorcher.

Democrats would know who the craziest nutjobs are.

If the GOP follows the example of the Democrats they can push the Overton window to the right more than it has been for decades and effectively push the far left kooks out of American discourse.

Anti-white politics haven't even begun to destroy your party.

You will lose the Senate and the House in a landslide.

Jackass: States don't have electoral colleges

ME: Here is the web-space for the Electoral College in Pennsylvania

Jackass: Good fucking grief. For state elections, dum dum.

ME: Of course not, idiot! WHY would a STATE need an electoral college??????? States elect based on the popular vote because they are just one state in and of themselves! The electoral college was wisely placed there by the Founders in order to PREVENT a popular vote for a president!

WHY?

Because popular vote, a "democratic" election is another name for MOB RULE. What's wrong with Mob Rule? Because states like Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Delaware, even states like Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana would never have their voice heard! Without the Electoral College, EVERY election would be decided by NYC, Chicago, Miami, and the west coast of California. The other 95% of the country would have no voice in how their country is governed!

It is the Electoral College which gives each state an equal say proportional to their size.

The way the electoral college works is the candidate wins each state by popular vote. Then each state has so many electoral college votes PROPORTIONAL TO THEIR POPULATION. The candidate getting 270 or more EC votes WINS.

Haha....wow....clearly his point was that the popular vote would determine the winner in those elections. Clearly this point sailed right over your head. And , naturally, this is everyone else's fault but yours.
