Despite big House losses, the GOP shows no signs of course correction - Polidicks

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/02/us/politics/republicans-midterms-house-losses.html WASHINGTON — With a brutal finality, the extent of the Republicans’ collapse in the House came into focus last week as more races slipped away from them and their losses neared 40 seats. Yet nearly a month after the election, there has been little self-examination among Republicans about why a midterm that had seemed at least competitive became a rout. President Trump has brushed aside questions about the loss of the chamber entirely, ridiculing losing incumbents by name, while continuing to demand Congress fund a border wall despite his party losing many of their most diverse districts. Unlike their Democratic counterparts, Republicans swiftly elevated their existing slate of leaders with little debate, signaling a continuation of their existing political strategy. And neither Speaker Paul D. Ryan nor Representative Kevin McCarthy, the incoming minority leader, have stepped forward to confront why the party’s once-loyal base of suburban supporters abandoned it — and what can be done to win them back. But now a cadre of G.O.P. lawmakers are speaking out and urging party officials to come to terms with why their 23-seat majority unraveled so spectacularly and Democrats gained the most seats they had since 1974. “There has been close to no introspection in the G.O.P. conference and really no coming to grips with the shifting demographics that get to why we lost those seats,” said Representative Elise Stefanik, an upstate New York Republican who is planning to repurpose her political action committee to help Republican women win primaries in 2020. “I’m very frustrated and I know other members are frustrated.” Ms. Stefanik said there had been “robust private conversations” but she urged Republicans to conduct a formal assessment of their midterm effort. The G.O.P. response, or lack thereof, to the midterm backlash stands in stark contrast to the shake-ups and soul-searching that followed its loss of Congress in 2006 and consecutive presidential defeats in 2012. “If we don’t learn some lessons from this election we will not be a majority party,” said Representative Ann Wagner of Missouri, who represents suburban St. Louis, calling for a caucus that “looks more like America.”

Fine by me. Let them dig their own hole even deeper.

and you thought the other guys were bad! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYVO5bUFww0

It's almost like Trump is a one trick pony and if it stops working you're boned.

Double down on the Trump shit, we love it lol

They know they're fucked so they're just gonna suck all they can before they're kicked out.

Well they don't need to. Remember, they won the Senate, with close races in Mississippi and Texas. It was a red wave for them. /s Sadly I don't know if they would be screwed after a Democrat president, since they don't show signs of getting their shit together and moving left, or becoming sane.

I love losing rights and access to financial stability! It's all so funny! lol

They already do that, doesn't change a thing I'm talking about being brazenly retarded about their corruption

It's a bit of a double edged sword, as much of our population are either gullible, aloof, or easily swayed

That and the fucked thing is that some even encourage it because 'better red or dead'

sounds like it's about time for another party breakup

Jeez, it's always swords with this guy. ;)
