    Default Cassidy on Trump and the GOP: 'If we idolize one person, we will lose'

    I agree with senator Cassidy, if Trump is the GOP's candidate in 2024, the GOP will lose the presidency again?!! Question, why would you idolize a loser???

    (CNN) GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy said Sunday that he believes if the Republican Party focuses on former President Donald Trump to win back seats in 2022 and the presidency in 2024, "we will lose."

    "If we idolize one person, we will lose," Cassidy told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." "And that's kind of clear from the last election."

    Cassidy, a moderate, was one of seven GOP senators who joined all Senate Democrats in voting to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, but the 57 guilty votes fell well-short of the 67 needed to convict the former President, resulting in his acquittal on the charge of inciting the January 6 insurrection.

    The Louisiana Republican said he believes the Republican Party should be focusing on issues that can win back voters, not Trump.

    "If we plan to win in 2022 and 2024, we have to listen to the voters. Not just those who really like President Trump, but perhaps those who are less sure," he said. "If we speak to the voters who are less sure that went from President Trump to President Biden, we win. If we don't, we lose. That is a reality that we have to confront."

    Trump is slated to address activists Sunday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, as he seeks to shape the future of the party and target Republicans he views as disloyal.

    Fortunately for the other party, many in the gop are more than willing to take that risk.. IF he is "robbed again" & the gop is no more, oh well, they'll just start their own party, the snake in the grass party
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    why pay attention to a guy who won't get reelected when his term is up when he talks about a guy who didn't get reelected when his term was up......

    Default Rick Scott: GOP is ‘voters' party,’ not Trump's

    Damn, the mouse that roared?!!

    Sen. Rick Scott on Sunday declined to call the GOP the party of former President Donald Trump and acknowledged President Joe Biden was “absolutely” the legitimate winner of the 2020 White House race.

    IMHO she ran a great campaign considering she had no shoe & not even a string to run it on...

    The real leader of the Repub party explained it all in terms even you Trumpys can understand. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...t-guilty-video Just like the first impeachment, the reds admitted trump was guilty and they still would not vote against him for political reasons.
