    You seem to be a good person who gives people the benefit of the doubt. I don't think realize how dumb their base is. There's not a single poll that you can find that will show the majority of gop voters think trump legitimate lost the 2020 election.

    Show me one single poll that shows majority of Republicans think trump genuinely lost? How in the world will trump be viewed as a loser when majority of their base think he was unfairly taken out of office?

    These folks think Ashley babbitt was a martyr and ANTIFA did 1/6 and you folks think they view Trump as a loser? These are some of the stupidest people on planet earth. They don't live in reality. I do business in rural Indiana and I can't believe what I see.

    Reports are that biden is going prop up trump and put him in the spotlight so there can be a rematch. He'll egg him on and entice their base to vote for him. It's going work and trump is going lose in a landslide in 2024. Democrats are finally playing dirty which is how they won the midterms.

    It's so funny how posters in this thread are like, "GOP voters will reject trump cuz he's a loser and they want to win elections and be in power" "they want a winner!!!"

    GOP Voters: hold my beer

    Tax cuts are not expenditures, they do not require funding.

    The gop is already teetering on lunacy with some on the far-right nut jobs, it would make perfect sense for the my pillow guy to be the head of the RNC........do it baby, get him in so you can have crazies everywhere. He can shout conspiracies to everyone and hawk some crappy pillows while he`s at it, cause you know there`s a grift coming with this guy

    Cutting revenue without offsetting spending creates an imbalance in the budget (that is then very politically convenient to complain about)

    yeah, Trump still runs the republican party

    I remember DeSantis leading Trump in some polls right after the midterms, but that went away quickly

    Rona McDaniel has won RNC chair for the 4th time. She beat back a challenge from Harmeet Dhillon who was endorsed by Ron DeSantis. Mike Lindell only got a handful of votes

    Republicans Re-elect Head of the R.N.C. After a Heated Challenge
    Ronna McDaniel won a fourth two-year term to lead the Republican National Committee, fending off a fierce challenge after the party’s poor midterm showing.
    DANA POINT, Calif. — Members of the Republican National Committee re-elected Ronna McDaniel on Friday to a fourth two-year term at the helm of the party, despite an angry pressure campaign from conservative activists and spirited calls from inside the committee for a leadership change after three successive elections of defeats and disappointments.

    Ms. McDaniel, a Michigan G.O.P. insider chosen in 2017 by President Donald J. Trump to lead the party, beat back a fierce challenge by Harmeet Dhillon, a member from California who was backed by an eclectic coalition of both far-right conservatives and members opposed to Mr. Trump’s third bid for the White House.

    Ms. McDaniel, 49, a granddaughter of a moderate Republican governor of Michigan, George Romney, and a niece of Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah, promised to be the agent of change that Republican activists wanted and to keep the committee neutral in the coming presidential primary contest. Those pledges, and years cultivating connections with the committee’s 168 members, proved unbeatable as the party gears up for what could become a wide-open race for the 2024 Republican nomination.

    “We need the continuity at this point in time,” said Mike Kuckelman, the chairman of the Kansas Republican Party. “There’s really no one challenging her that offers anything that is materially different than what she will do as our leader.”

    Yes. That is definitely the most obvious reason to be against nicotine. Why on earth would there be any other reasons to be against nicotine?

    Great job Tucker.

    It is like asking "Why be against war? Because it results in a freed oppressed population where as servitude leads to following tyranny without question."

    Francis Suarez is also eyeing a presidential run.

    Fitting. He took money under the table from a crypto company and conned his city into buying a worthless **** coin.

    Menthol tobacco products make up 39% of the overall cigarette market. Half of today's adult smokers started with a menthol brand as teenagers, with menthol cigarettes being most popular among Black Americans: 85% of Black adults who smoke use menthols.

    Great job Tucker.
