Thank you, l like MTG, but as you said, she can't stand alone, Trump was chosen and can take the heat. There is soooo muuch to turn around and DC and the left, and others are fighting tooth and nail. So much evil and hate. Perhaps us older Christians need to start a prayer chain to open the way for a mighty move of God

Deborah, there’s no “perhaps” to it. Right now, prayer is our strongest ally, because we are in scary times.

Very true, Captain K. We are not privy to all of the details behind the scenes. I will definitely keep praying…for you & your Family, for Trump & his Family, and for many more. Bless you, sir.

Trump uses people for specific purposes. MTG was valuable during the destruction phase. But now Trump has moved on to reconstruction.

Good analysis and conclusion. The local and state GOP organizations have little money, while opposing forces have plenty. As more people wake up to our situation, and more get involved, the mass will hopefully overcome that disadvantage. Unfortunately, the megaphones are on the other side making it seem that they have a large backing, which they don’t. I’m convinced more than ever, as I can see this starkly in my state of WA, that they control enough of our election systems to match outcomes to their propaganda. I believe this is the #1 issue to get back to a valid Republican government, and it has to happen in the states.

We have to become much more shrewd. Unfortunately there is a strain on the political right that considers anyone with money as evil. We need the infrastructure.

Amen about the election systems! I’m in California and feel pretty hopeless unless we have some sort of significant election reform.

We need big intervention at the federal level.

Green overreached. However valid her criticisms might have been, she publicly sided with lefties and RINOs.

I am the first person to criticize Trump when he does wrong, or doesn't do enough. But Greene's actions put herself beyond the pale.

That said, I will disagree with what you said in notes about the GOP "imploding". As you and Schweikert have both noted, registration trends indicate otherwise. It is the Democrats who are imploding.

It is Baris that is my concern at the moment, as he seems to have pulled a Seltzer.

Edit: If the Democrats do fall, I expect a healthier, saner opposition party to rise in their place. I've never "trusted the plan" as such people mean it. But I do believe that this is *Trump's actual plan*.

Well stated. Limited vision, lack of reality in the knowledge of the actual machinations of government only fuel the divisions we are seeing. The unrealistic expectations of the power of the President lead to inane comments that only hurt the MAGA/AMERICA FIRST agenda.

MTG good or bad felt she was owed by President Trump, when he gave her a reality check, she turned on the movement l, fueled dissent. Now she awaits being vested in retirement on 1/3/26, leaves a hole in office, that Never-Trump Kemp will decide when it is filled.

Keep up the fight. The unbelievable accomplishments of 10 months in office will continue, expectations met in due time. Naysayers never truly trusted the plan.

I think she probably wanted to run for something bigger and a dispute broke out.

According to Mike Dsvis, President told him MTG wanted to run for Senate and only polled at 12% statewide. That's reportedly when things changed.

Yes, her resignation is damaging, and she knows this. First do no harm.

Well said. The Great Man of History theory is largely bunk. There are great men, to be sure. But they succeed or fail based on the quality of the people in the regimes they build around themselves.

Personnel management remains the obvious weakness of the Brave Trumpster. Politics isn’t the Apprentice with “you’re fired” where fragile coalition majorities. At least it isn’t hiring for resume like the disasters of Trump 1 —-played like a fiddle because of germ aversion by the fraudster Fausci and because of lack of military background by Pentagon Rat Miley and by Cohen/Powell/ Bill B because of lawyer hate. Here much better job but likely have kept MTG as loyalty a two way street and Ga senate contest crucial and close.

Every great leader has some issue. I agree on personnel.

Alas, seems like the weight of the world is on that one man. Sincerely hope he's building a whole America First team that can take over when his turn has ended.

And MTG is bailing two days after she's eligible for pension, good move as she doesn't stand a chance against the Big Guy, hope the next America First candidate has enough runway to make it.
