Why bother with the GOP if this is all it has to offer?

[Ingomike]

Does that include voting with democrats on issues?

Probably half the time as they are centrists, they can be replaced with communists. Now if you want to recruit, support, fund, and get out the votes in Massaholechusetts maybe someone to you liking can be elected…

Have you ever studied republican party history? NRA history? They are hiding nothing, we are taking over their party. They are not one of us. We are not the republicans of of the 60’s…

If this is the best we can hope for out of this state, why bother? I’d just stay home and watch the destruction from the comfort of my home.

He's no longer governor. His term ended last year.

Was he worried that Trump wouldn't be convicted?

He just won GoP in Montana. Hopefully Montana will vote him in.

If so I hope he stands his ground and helps being the Republican party around to uphold the constitution.

Republican Party Implements Emergency Platform Change After Seeing How Close They Are To Winning Landslide Victory

U.S. — With campaigning for November's elections running at full speed and polls showing GOP candidates building sizeable leads, the Republican Party rushed to implement an emergency platform change after seeing how close they were to winning a landslide victory.

U.S. — With campaigning for November's elections running at full speed and polls showing GOP candidates building sizeable leads, the Republican Party rushed to implement an emergency platform change after seeing how close they were to winning a landslide victory.

Struggles on the Democratic side of the ticket, including the growing scandal surrounding President Joe Biden's cognitive ability, led to Republicans gaining tremendous momentum in recent weeks, causing leaders to shift gears and push for changes to the GOP platform in hopes of avoiding any decisive wins in November.

"We were just getting way too close to winning big," said Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley. "Some of these recent polls really got us spooked and concerned that we might actually run away with this thing, so we knew we had to take drastic steps to avoid steamrolling our competition. These changes to our platform should help frustrate, anger, and alienate enough of our loyal voters to make the races a lot closer."

The updated GOP platform included changes or outright omissions of longstanding Republican stances on abortion and traditional marriage, giving the party the negative reaction it was looking for from lifelong GOP voters. "Thankfully, there's been some good backlash," Whatley said. "With any luck, we'll see our leads start shrinking as we head into the home stretch of these campaigns. We don't want to do anything that might put us at risk of ensuring total victory."

At publishing time, Republican insiders revealed the party was also preparing to abandon other foundational values on issues like immigration, taxes, election security, and the 2nd Amendment to make sure they don't receive too many votes in November.

Just goes without saying that today's democrats are yesterdays communist, and today's republicans are yesterdays democrats.

The COC leadership will figure out some way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before slinking back to the country club and a martini.

The good news is that this is the Babylon Bees's take on the released GOP platform.

1. The Babylon Bee is a satire site, and while they rarely publish any "real" news, there is almost always some truth behind it.
2. The released version of the official GOP platform is still preliminary. It is not final until the convention.
3. In the current version the GOP does claim to support certain rights including free speech and the right to keep and bear arms.

It is unknown exactly why they dropped the 2nd Amendment language called out specifically in the 2016 platform. (At least I haven't seen anything about it, if anyone has a link, please share).

One theory is that they may be trying to not offend the "not quite far left" liberals who are more likely to vote for Trump, Kennedy or Other given the current mental state (or lack thereof) of Biden. So they have removed a lot of the "possibly inflammatory" language.

Hard telling, but as a wise man once said:
"Left wing, Right wing, same bird."

I figured everyone already knew about Babylon Bee being a funny fake news sight with a twist of reality.
