Republicans are beginning to wean themselves from Trump
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are, boy
… That Georgia’s always on
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my mind
Kamala Harris is going to be very busy the next two years. The two Republican senators in Georgia were lackluster candidates. Kelly Loeffler had this vacant, Stepford wives stare. David Perdue skipped a debate? What kind of candidate skips a debate? Both were ethically challenged but they were crippled by a spectral wraith — Donald Trump.
The Republic will survive. Democrats will over-reach. In the Squad and Bernie (add Warnock and Ossof) they carry seeds of their own destruction. In the meantime, America will not go communist, we’ll keep our guns, we won’t be speaking Chinese — contrary to the choir of bulging neck veins.
The Georgia results broke the back of Trumpism. His phone call to Brad Raffensperger was hunker-in-the-bunker bonkers. The President’s coattails are toxic. He under-performed all five Republican congressmen in Wisconsin, who won election without difficulty. Had he matched their performance, he would have won the state.
Georgia, we should note, elected a Republican legislature in November and until today had two Republican U.S. senators. Republicans in November flipped two Democratic seats to take 10 of its 14 House seats even as Trump lost the state for the first Republican defeat in 28 years. Two years ago Georgia elected a Republican governor and secretary of state. As for the crazies who would suspend the Constitution in order to install Donald Trump for four more years, they are our version of the Squad and their social justice warriors. Tuesday 2021 is on Donald Trump. (Worth noting that Stacey Abrams said Georgia elections were crooked two years ago. The Democrat STILL has not conceded to Gov. Brian Kemp.)
Trump pulled the temple down on his own head
The Morning Dispatch nails it:
The GOP was hamstrung from fully making its best case — a Republican Senate as a check on the Biden administration — because acknowledging the reality of a Biden administration would likely provoke a vengeful Trump tweet. This weekend’s leaked call between the president and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger almost assuredly kept some suburban Biden voters from coming home and voting Republican.
We’ll watch the fun and games this afternoon as Congress certifies the Electoral College vote. Not surprised if a handful of Republican legislators blast Trump and his -isms. As for Trump’s Bitter Enders, they will not trust the fingers on their own hands unless Trump bestows his blessing. They will beclown themselves in the streets of Washington for the entertainment of WOW county suburbanites. At least, they will break no windows.
Some time late today (01-06-21), after all the palaver, Mike Pence will declare Biden/Harris the winner and go home to Indiana and say no more.
‘Trump threw it away’
“Elections are unfair. Unfairness is part of the fitness test … If Mr. Trump didn’t find a way to prevail in the world we actually live in, the blame starts with him. … He lost the pivotal electoral votes of Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin by fewer than 43,000 votes. … He absurdly over-supplied those voters with reasons to vote against him and he still almost won.” — Holman Jenkins in the Wall Street Journal.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: It will take some time for the Republican party to detoxify itself from Trump’s paranoid narcissism. But the man did show the way to a worker-oriented, traditional values political movement. The party’s task is to find someone with the common touch who isn’t batty. So far, Sen. Tom Cotton looks good. Maybe Ben Sasse or Nikki Haley. Like they say after hurricanes, we will rebuild.
As for the crazies who would suspend the Constitution in order to install Donald Trump for four more years, they are Republicans In Name Only.

You will no doubt be castigated and lambasted for these comments Dave, but in my opinion you speak the truth. It’s time to get a candidate does that does not continually let their ego and mouth get in the way of doing the job.
Well your words are uplifting and do provide me with hope for the future. Problem is at my age the my future is pretty short term.
This, too, shall pass.
Glass half full?
Don’t f*ck with us…um…more mature folks, the possibility of a life sentence no longer provides as much of a deterrent.

We certainly need more winners and more tactical fighters. We also need more “loyal “ Republicans. For all Trump’s faults and there were far too many. His policies with the help of Republicans were better than any democrat has put forward since slick Willy!
I’m not a forever Trumper but I do not understand Republicans who would get in bed with the likes of the current Democratic Party!
Then again I look at what is happening in Dane county. There is plenty of blame to go around and it’s not all Trump’s doing. Hopefully we get a new and approved hybrid.
What kind of nonsense are you spewing? Which Democrats “got in bed with Democrats”?
I believe I said I don’t understand Republicans who got in bed with Democrats. Like the Lincoln project.
I don’t understand people who have the gall to call themselves American’s got into bed with trump. Nothing but lowly traitors.
Dave:
Again, a spot on commentary. trump lost, and for once, his claims of being a self-made made were proven correct. The first time in 4+ years he was right about something.
Up here we have to live with 2 more years of toxic tom tiffany and “where did I leave my car” jeff mursau, Both thought if they joined up with the forever trumpers it would burnish their tarnished resumes, but they ended up looking more foolish, and uninformed than we knew they were.
And yet we have ROJO who wants to overturn state elections where down ballot repubs won. Bad optics Ron.
Thank you Georgia for leading us out of the darkness.
I think the phone call to Georgia’s Sec of State was the deciding factor. I’m sure that catching a man they loathe trying to overturn the counted-and-recounted results infuriated a lot of Democrats as well as enough on-the-fence voters to create a lot of votes for the Dem candidates.
True. Many down ballot republicans were elected; but, trump was left behind.
Wrong…….. GA election losses stemmed from one simple issue….the Dec 23 claim of Trump for $2,000 checks for all. Polls rocketed up for the Dems, and sunk for Republicans. Trump’s ignorance of shouting for free money sealed the deal. FWIW, blacks vote as a block for Dim’s; always have, always will. Only a couple percent of them vote on some notion of ‘merit.’ Always race for them. Whites should do the same. The ignert minority from within will join illegal’s from Mexico, Puerto Rican’s and dope-smoking street people to sustain Dim rule forever. Yes, all made possible by ignert Donnell J. Trump. ————
ignert Donnell??
Man, do I feel good today. In four years Trump managed to lose the House, the Presidency, and now the Senate. So much “Winning!”, eh Splat? I’m watering my plants with the tears of Republicans.
The final coda today will be all the GOP Congress critters openly declaring their contempt for the Constitution and the voters. The MAGA-hatted rally mob will scare regular people.
So true, Abob ! And Mexico still hasn’t paid for the wall, nor China for the tariffs, coronavirus hasn’t magically disappeared, but trump will.
Soooo, your (sic) saying that Lefty’s dangerous, yet voluntary, immersion into a catatonic, apoplectic, pillow-biting, pants $#!tting, bed wetting, wind-sucking, chest palpitating, vital sign ramping, mouth-breathing, fist-pounding, foot stomping, safe-space seeking, triggering, weenie-whiny, simpering-whimpering, complete metaphysical, emotional, existential, psychological, philosophical, full-throated, freaking out, melting down, totally collapsing free-fall worked, am I right?
Righties (most, not all) have FAR too much self-awareness and FAR too much self-respect for that.
Anywho, as a student of Lefty sub-species, The Gotch finds many of its innate characteristics highfreakin’larious.
Easily the funniest is that the very same lock steppin’ glassy eyin’ unquestionin’ imbecilic Lefties that believed the craven Lefty media slobbering, on continuous reel, that things were so horrible the last four (4) years will now neither skip a beat nor bat an eye in their empty li’l heads as that same media pivots 180° and slobbers that everthang gon be awright!
Just like TRAINED…welp…you get the picture.
Cannon Fodder!!

You should be nicer to your erstwhile pal, ABob, for it was he who sang you…um…praises (such as they were…) when the Lefty imbecility (forgive the redundancy) here reached a cringe-inducing crescendo a while back.
Bear in mind, these…er…praises were along the lines of “you don’t sweat much for a fat guy,” but praises nonetheless.
As far as some things not changing, just because things didn’t go as The Gotch would’ve preferred, he won’t skulk off like some flaccidly enfeebled little b!tch…you know, like you & hankdog/old baldy MEEKLY did.

I don’t see any “lefties” storming the capital today. Do you gotch?
A-Bob, As Dorothy Parker said, ““You can’t teach an old dogma new tricks.” Your pinchbeck comments are all-of-a-piece. If someone offered you “a penny for your thoughts”, you’d be obliged to give change back… Jes’ sayin’.
“obliged to give change back”
THAT’S gonna leave a mark!!
The Gotch
How about: he aligned himself with the actual Socialist (Bernie Sanders) and against his own party over the $2000 welfare payments? Who gets in a pissing match with their own party in the middle of an important election? Warnock and Ossof could credibly say “if you vote for the other guy’s McConnell will block your free money….”
Donald Trump helped the democrats buy votes with my tax money. How stupid is that?
Stockholm syndrome Blaska. A political insider bulldozed into Washington 4 years ago, and got the left (Dems and RINOs) to be so afraid of losing their power that they tried to pull out every stop to get rid of him. And now it’s Trump’s fault for losing, and using all legal means to fight the battle.
Blaska brings a butterknife to a gun fight in this battle.
I must admit he hasn’t given up on Madison, as I have a long time ago. The lefty commies will never change because they have solidarity, but the right in this state seems to enjoy fighting each other.
Long time listener and first time caller, transplant to Wisconsin still trying to figure out who the
true conservatives are in this state.
Are you happy with the armed insurrection in Washington D.C. today? That’s on you, not me.
Also on our State Senator Johnson, and this republican administration.
Thanks for being a sane American in this thing Dave.
It’s not on me, I wasn’t there. Lumping me in with these people doesn’t work, or trying to make an argument based on a couple crazies. That’s a lefty tactic.
I’m not happy, by the way.
It’s on everyone who supported trump and everyone who voted for trump. From day one he was considered a danger to our nation. That the republican controlled US Senate refused to hold a fair impeachment trial that would have stopped this before it happened only emboldened trump to attack our democracy.
Careful who you’re calling a Republican, Dave. I’ve seen nothing the Republicans have done in the past four years to support my idea of conservative. RINO is more like it, which in my opinion is what most of them have become.
No judges? No renegotiated America-first trade deals? No tax cuts? A stronger Navy? Rolling back impeachment? Fred?! You were a journalist!
Um, I would credit those wins chiefly to the efforts of the President. The Republican Party has hardly covered itself in glory. The “Uniparty” they’re all talking about is largely about covering their own arses.
So the “law and order” people have broken into the capital. Fighting the cops. Damage done. Shut down the House. TRUMP IS A PIG.
Richard,
Show us your commentary where you condemned Antifa, BLM, and other violent anarchists from this past summer otherwise give that overworked hypocritical yap of yours a rest.
Ron Johnson…RESIGN TODAY.
White Privilege on display, why weren’t the fascist, pathetic losers, thugs AKA. Trump supporters gassed and shot in the face with rubber bullets. Every poster here that decried the violence of BLM associated riots, can EF off. Hope they charge these groups for repair costs to the U.S. Capitol
White Privilege on display
Cheer up! People of Paleness are getting shot, apparently with real bullets.
This vid should make you very happy!

“Petition for redress of grievances” has been fading for years, although the TEA Party gave a sincere try.
“Woman shot at the Capitol.” Please tell me her first name was Nancy.
i get that you are trying to be humorous, I was sarcastic myself towards AEN…but a young woman really did get shot, probably by a Capitol police officer who lost control, and it’s really not anything funny.
Why aren’t you there? You talk a big game, but nothing more than coward.
The woman DIED you asswipe.
So pleased to see the arrow hit the intended targets.
Yes! White Privilege, the fact that as a trump supporter we already know you don’t live in reality. Why weren’t these traitorous trump supporters treated as badly as the BLM protestors. “The Black Lives Matter demonstrators crowd outside the White House on 1 June was a block away from the building and made no attempt to breach its security. It was a mostly Black crowd, and it was charged by a force made up of Washington police, US Park police, over 5,000 national guard troops and federal agencies like the bureau of prisons. An army helicopter swooped low over the heads of the protesters. Teargas, batons and horses were used to clear a block so that Donald Trump could stage a photo op outside a church across the road. A national guard commander later admitted there had been “excessive use of force”.
The bodies of these terrorist trump supporters should have strewn the streets of DC.

You mean, like this?

Thanks for the reveal. You are a true Progressive!
“Hope they charge these groups for repair costs to the US Capitol.” You mean the way they charged “mostly peaceful” BLM thugs and Antifa criminals for repair costs to the small business owners whose livelihoods they destroyed?
Heh!
The Gotch
That was private property covered by insurance, I’m talking about the way our extremist republicans in Madison and their moronic supporters tried to get the Anti-ACT 10 to pay for the damage done to the State Capitol. Doesn’t surprise me that as a republican you guys can’t remember anything before yesterday.
Neuman,
Show us your commentary condemning Antifa, BLM, and other violent anarchists from the
recent past otherwise you’re nothing more than a common, phony, fake patriot, poseur.
Take a look at the video that GgMo posted to see how differently the police and MSM treat USA hating Lefty protestors/anarchists and USA loving conservative protestors.
Reposting the link here because it is quite illuminating:

Guns drawn, tear gas in our nations capital. Still pi$$ed off about our capital singers now?
