What comes next for the Republican party?

@zh cohen Never said to go down the same path!

He said to look back and figure out why Trump got so many darn votes (Because, guess what, he did!). Why did people like him or not and what policies did they like or not.

To say he's a loser and the country is against him and just act like he never existed is one of the worst takes I've seen here.

His policies were racist and divided the country. The MAGA/ED candidates lost big time.
We have the highest inflation in 40+ years, interest rates skyrocketing and crime out of control. With all this the I's went with the D's instead of the Trump MAGA/ED candidates. Time to wake up and face reality!!!

The problem with this analysis is that it ignores the fact that moderate/establishment candidates did not do better than MAGA candidates did.

The only way to come to this conclusion is by ignoring the actual results of the election and going with preconceived notions.

Fake news.

You mean like Kemp?

Perfect example. An incumbent did only 5 points better than your prime example for a terrible maga candidate.

What are you talking about. If he was a MAGA candidate, he would have lost.

I know you believe so, but do you have any evidence for this claim?

You mean like trouncing the MAGA candidate in the primary?

[aygart]

His policies were racist and divided the country.

Every single one?

[zh cohen]

You mean like trouncing the MAGA candidate in the primary?

No, I mean evidence that if he was MAGA he would have lost the general election. I don't think the evidence shows that the person  who wins the primary is the candidate with the best chances in the general.

No

I presume that he is referring to the ones he doesn't  feel are racist and I am not sure why you chose to ignore those and focus only on the ones that may have been.

The ones that are not racist are R's positions. Any R's candidate will be for conservative judges, guns and the like.

To be clear it is not only MAGA that doesn't get it.
“President Biden has been a great president for our country. He has accomplished so much,” Pelosi told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. “He has a great record to run on.”

And here I was thinking Pelosi was just ordering toast from you...   

That smoke you smell isn't burnt toast.

Lets get back to the toast.
Biden ended the Afghan war.
Has made Putin a pariah.
Can end up with NATO stronger than ever.
Can be the end of Putin, a murderous dictator.
Not a bad loaf of bread.

With covid finally looking like we are getting it under control we can give Biden credit.

"Toast" might become my favorite breakfast. 

Can I please have some more toast!!! Man did this thread backfire.

You just don't get it like MAGA doesn't get it. The Democrats has been against Trump from the very beginning. He is a loser!!!
