JOE O'DEA - SELF IMMOLATION

Joe O'Dea said on CNN that he would actively campaign against President Trump. On top of his support for abortion, his campaign is now dead in the water. A prediction, losing by 15 points.
Bennet has benefited from the Republican choices as his opponents. Ken Buck, 2010, Daryl Glenn, 2016 and now O'Dea, 2022.

President Trump really needed to shut up about O'Dea. His only chance to win in Blue Colorado was to be a moderate. Unfortunately it looks like invisible Bennett will be reelected. (He only shows up for elections and is a career bureaucrat and politician.)

O'Dea never had a chance once he spouted off about Trump. "Moderate" Republicans are worthless because they don't have the balls to stand up to the system that they are all making millions off of. We don't need another Cheney or Romney, we need people who go scorched earth on the leftist lunatics. Colorado is lost and will end up like California... it's inevitable.

Republicans, a circular firing squad!
A half a loaf is better than none! And once in office, they vote with the party 90% of the time. So continue to support hardliners who won't get the vote of unaffiliated, moderate Coloradoans who are tired of Democrats weak response to crime.
There are more unaffiliated Colorado voters than their are Republican voters, so the only way to win statewide races here is to nominate moderates.

I disagree. Moderates are only good for the other karts at this point. Just look at the US Senate. The Dems has Manchin and Sinnema who are universally hated by their own party but are seen as good by Republicans because they prevented bad bills from passing.

Like or not Fred, there’s no intersection between left and right ideologies these days. Democrats are much much better at holding their progressive lines and not giving in to rational and logical alternatives from the right. They fight much better and don’t have to worry media backlash. Moderate Republicans have been helping them for years by bending over and allowing Democrats to push their garbage inch by inch. Now we have an open border and crime is exploding…

It’s time for Republicans to flush the weaklings and fight using Democrat scorched earth tactics instead of trying to look like the nice guys who don’t want to be mean. Those who haven’t learned from Trump’s presidency full of accomplishments should look for different careers, because they will have no other choice.

What you want will leave the Republicans as a permanent minority, regional party. And the Democrats with a permanent majority in the House. This year was one of the best chances for the GOP to get back a statewide office in Colorado. But instead Trump cared more about his bank account than the GOP screwed things up. He has collected a sizeable amount of campaign donations he could be using to help in tight races but he hasn't. He is an idiot. If the GOP takes back the House, the January 6th crap in Congress ends.

You talk like worthless Mitch or Kevin McCarthy who just said he doesn’t think we should use not use impeachment like Democrats have done, even it’s it’s actually warranted (Afghanistan, killing our energy independence, opening our borders and ignoring our laws , etc etc etc).

Those piece of shit moderates are looking to be popular and they never will be. They will always just be nutless losers that allow the leftists to destroy this country with their insanity.

Sorry Fred, but you can’t negotiate with a party that’s ok with killing babies in the third trimester, altering the bodies of children who have been indoctrinated to believe they can change their genders, allowing criminals to walk the streets, or making homelessness an easy alternative to being a productive citizen.

History is repeating itself and you can’t see it Fred. Empires always end the same way and not enough people see it, especially not the moderates who think being popular is more important than being effective.

One more thing Fred, I’d really like to see a list of the moderate Republicans that you believe are effective in countering the leftists. Tell me what they’ve done or what they plan to do other than to bend over for Democrats.

More food for thought…

Why do you think Trump destroyed all the moderates in the primaries of 2016? Was it because real conservatives liked the harsh rhetoric or because he was a TV celebrity? I don’t think so… I really didn’t like the guy back then and wanted Rubio. I believe it’s because he was the answer to all the past losers in the GOP that accomplished nothing (other than Reagan). Trump hit on all the issues real conservatives cared about. I didn’t trust that he could be effective, but I was dead wrong. He accomplished more than any of those 16 other candidates could have accomplished because he didn’t give a shit about how the establishment felt about him or how the media would treat him. He made promises that he actually kept (limited by the Dems and moderate Republicans with hurt feelings). He was the fighter so many of us were waiting for, albeit not the ideal personality, but whatever.

It’s not about Trump anymore, no matter how much the worthless commie media wants to make it about him. He will likely get arrested because the system can’t deal with a disrupter like him and will do whatever it takes, even if unjust.

Those Republicans who will be successful will have learned from him and those who haven’t learned will be flushed by the voters. There will be a Trump like candidate no matter what because we all witnessed what is needed, and it’s not going to be a Romney, a Pence, a Cheney, or some other worthless nice guy that has a losing record.

Only 25% of Coloradoans are registered as Republicans, you need the unaffiliated to win statewide races here. Otherwise the 33% of Democrats will win. Especially if GOP voters only nominate hardliners who are unappealing to moderate Coloradoans.

We will check out your theory on election day. Will O'Dea moderate win a higher percentage of votes? Or hardliner Heidi Granahl who has the support of President Trump and is an election denier?
