"The Republican party no longer exists. MAGA is the party now."

You guys acted like Romney was worse than W lol

"Mitt Romney is bad, but not as bad as Bush" doesn't make for a very effective GOTV effort, does it?

Why should we apologize for actively campaigning against your candidate?

That’s the whole point . If you keep saying it , this becomes viewed as a campaign tactic as it becomes the boy who cried wolf.

Republicans did it to democrats too : Bill Clinton was the worst ever for 8 years , then Gore/Kerry were the worst , then Obama was a socialist unlike Bill , then Hillary was even worse than Obama and  now Biden is worse than Hillary and Obama .

And you democrats did it in early 2023 when you guys called RDS worse than Trump when it looked like he may be the nominee

I realize that critical thinking as opposed to just blend comparisons aren't your strong suit, but it is an ugly fact that the last two Republican presidents were literally among the worst in our country's history. Again, just because you're saying Romney was better than that doesn't mean he was not thoroughly deserving being kept out of the white house.

Dude, just accept it. The party of Mitt Romney is dead. The fact that he had the conscience to justifiably vote for Trump's first impeachment, let alone the second, and became an absolute pariah unrealectable to the Modern Age GOP should demonstrated. Please go right ahead, though, and embrace whatever myths you need to convince yourself that you don't belong to the party of Donald Trump by Donald Trump in for Donald trump.

Obviously it was the Democrats fault that Romney was going around saying that he is "severely conservative" or that he didn't care about 40% of the voters.

Grow a pair and accept some effing responsibility.

I suspect you will see more and more non-MAGAs retiring before the election, and those will be replaced with more extreme versions. The Republican Party has been on life support for a while, but I think the part, as it was, is dead. That's not to say it will not see more success given the polarization and gerrymandering of our districts, but the old GOP is gone. I don't see it coming back even when Trump is gone.

The Old Old Gop has always been right wing, and populist. You ever heard of Robert Taft ? John Bricker ?




Rockefeller, Eisenhower, and in many ways, Reagan were exceptions.

Partially true, except I'm old enough to remember that in fact Reagan was the embodiment and fruition of the dreams of the Bricker/ Taft slash Goldwater wing of the party. And of course as many people have noted in atlas, ultimately paved the way for the GOP to devolve to its current MAGA status today.
