While I could never vote for a democrat, I really do not like the repubs either. They are extremely divided with various factions all bickering with one another. I am done with the theatrics and I bet many others are too. This is why the leftists have such an easy time wrecking the GOP. There is no unified front whereas the dems are unified carrying the banner of fear, hate and treachery...at all costs. Throw in traitor RINOs making up a good chunk of the party and it all seems a hopeless cause.

getting rid of McConnell would probably help. Get some younger, more outspoken people at the top. Now the government looks more like an elderly home than a govt

It’s called a gerontocracy. We need term limits, among many other things.

Asking Congress to vote term limits on themselves is as likely to succeed as hitting the moon with a bottle rocket. Would YOU ask folks to shut down YOUR gravy train?

McConnell definitely needs to go. Also Graham. It's good that Kinsinger and Cheney got tossed out. Mitt Romney needs to go. There are many others I'm not remembering now, but they are mostly of an age group that are older and beyond their usefulness date. The older ones are a shameful embarrassment. They have been in office far too long. The old RINO party needs to be wiped out.

Fully agree. Let us say, no older than 68 and no more than 2 terms. AND no more benefits once they leave. No life long free health care and no 250 000 bucks pensions. In fact, they should get the minimum wage they say is enough to feed a family from. I think GA is 8 bucks an hour. Good luck.

Unfortunately there are so few of us it might be hard to win with numbers.

Some of the perceived divisions in the Republican Party are purely kabuki theater. But there are true differences emerging as some conservative voices are openly challenging the GOPe/RINO/UniParty rule. This is a good thing.

I did hear the end of a discussion on the radio the other night, and I never caught the name of the person talking, but he was a R member of the House and he said they almost have enough R votes to prevent McCarthy from becoming speaker. He was very agitated and angry about McCarthy, so I'm hoping they can prevent him from being Speaker. He's from my state of CA, and from the first time he was elected I've viewed him as a slimy RINO.

I also heard that comment. Unfortunately I came into the interview halfway through it and was encouraged but also did not get his name.

Maybe more theater...

"Seeking to quell the uprising, Barrasso assured his colleagues that next week’s Republican conference meeting would afford every senator “a chance to be heard,” according to a letter obtained by Politico."

They won't even know who all the senators are by next week.

If CNN can be believed, the fix is in and they'll be voting anyway:
