Perhaps it would suit the Republican panjandrums to build up funds for 2028, when their master will be an Octogenarian and possibly content to live out his twilight years in Florida. Then at last they will be able to field a candidate with a chance of restoring Republican Party values.

Or am I dreaming?

I’ve been thinking about restoring this generator, once I can put the flames out. Should be ok, I think?

Sounds too much like work... why not just put the matchbook away and blame the fire on the Democrats?

Republican values... I shall need a little time. I am not sure that I can do this on my own.

Perhaps help will arrive from Republican supporters.

How about Eisenhower's 1960 Republican platform?

Civil Rights
This nation was created to give expression, validity and purpose to our spiritual heritage—the supreme worth of the individual. In such a nation—a nation dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal—racial discrimination has no place. It can hardly be reconciled with a Constitution that guarantees equal protection under law to all persons. In a deeper sense, too, it is immoral and unjust. As to those matters within reach of political action and leadership, we pledge ourselves unreservedly to its eradication.

We recognize that discrimination is not a problem localized in one area of the country, but rather a problem that must be faced by North and South alike. Nor is discrimination confined to the discrimination against Negroes. Discrimination in many, if not all, areas of the country on the basis of creed or national origin is equally insidious.

Hundreds of Negroes have already been registered to vote as a result of Department of Justice action, some in counties where Negroes did not vote before. The new law will soon make it possible for thousands and thousands of Negroes previously disenfranchised to vote.

The Republican record [on Civil Rights] is a record of progress—not merely promises. Nevertheless, we recognize that much remains to be done.

Immigration
Immigration has historically been a great factor in the growth of the United States, not only in numbers but in the enrichment of ideas that immigrants have brought with them. This Republican Administration has given refuge to over 32,000 victims of Communist tyranny from Hungary, ended needless delay in processing applications for naturalization, and has urged other enlightened legislation to liberalize existing restrictions.

Immigration has been reduced to the point where it does not provide the stimulus to growth that it should, nor are we fulfilling our obligation as a haven for the oppressed. Republican conscience and Republican policy require that:

The annual number of immigrants we accept be at least doubled.

Talk about government overreach.

2022 Republicans reject the views of Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush Sr., Dole, Bush Jr, Romney, and McCain. The new Republican Party.

That has been made clear in the 2016 primary race and since.

There is only one issue: loyalty to Trump.

Perhaps a new name is on the cards.

In the interests of keeping to the rules of 'Christian Forums' please do not over-reach!

Are you referring to Donald's name, or this guy's?

You’re sources must not care much for the case if they don’t care about chatting away online about it and warning people about when information is going to drop. I’m guessing you don’t know their views on you running your mouth about it. If they do know about what you are currently doing and are actually okay with it, I don’t believe it. Either they would be upset with what you are doing, they want the case to fall apart, or you are spinning a tale right now. That doesn’t necessarily mean this investigation isn’t happening, just that you don’t have actual sources into what is going on.

How does Hunter Biden's (alleged) laptop have to do with CPAC's endorsement of Trump?

Was the qualifier seeing which candidate could get the most mileage out of a stale nothingburger, and his success stretching out Hillary's emails for years made him the favorite?

You are going to read back to around post #217. Basically this is a follow up to a friendly wager between myself and @Belk . But others participated in the conversation as well.

I guess you didn't really specify which January, technically speaking.
I said results will be presented in January. Since then, the Biden laptop story went from "Russian propaganda" and "right wing conspiracy theory" to confirmed.
