It's about GOP members (plural) leaving MAGA.
Because they don't want anything to do with Trump.


No, it's about Ken Buck. That's what the title and opening post say. And the quote he gave said that he heard that people didn't like both Trump AND BIDEN and that he was going to work for something better than both of them.

His quote - “Everywhere I go in Colorado, Dana, I hear that people are not happy with Trump and they’re not happy with (President Joe) Biden,” Buck said. “I am going to find the right organization to join and I’m going to start working on that issue. We have to have better candidates up and down the ballot.”

Not sure why you are so upset that someone said that Biden has the same dis-favorable rating as Trump. Why try to shut down that fact? It's not a secret. Both are equally not liked. And in the opening post, the subject of the thread - Ken Buck - said the country could do better than both Biden and Trump. So quoting Bidens dis-favorable rating being the same as Trumps is just fine and on topic.

It is Progressive vs Constitution. Label them RINOs. The DNC will vote for a dementia patient and the GOP has always been fractured like this...for a long time.

No. Actually it's about GOP Rep. Ken Buck.
Someone that most of us has never heard of.

Funny thing though annee there’s more dems, especially in the black community leaving Biden and the dems and voting for trump then there are people jumping on the democrat train because they see democrats don’t gaf about the citizens of this country. They’re currently proving this in spades as we speak. Go ask the brothers and sisters in NYC and Chicago what they think about Brandon letting in millions of illegals that they now have to pay for. They’re really really pissed off.

It means nothing. People come and go. He said he was unhappy with both Trump and Biden. Most of the country probably says the same thing ... including politicians in each of the parties.

I don't think so. More than likely 1/3 of both democrats and republicans may not even vote.

So, the propaganda goes (depends on who you read).

Guess it's a toss-up -- Reps leaving Trump vs other.

You do know the Secure Fence Act of 2006 was signed by Bush "W" -- right? And there had to be years before that before it got to become an Act.

Did Mexico pay for the wall Trump proposed?

People are really gullible.

I personally think many will come out to vote just to stop Trump.

Just as many will come out to get rid of Biden.

More likely .. many will just not show up because both suck.

I don't think people care as much about how bad the orange man was after these Biden years.

Here is the latest poll from 538 -- it's starting to change.

Trump at 42.6% is still ahead of Biden's 39% according to this article.

Actually in a way they did pay for it and would’ve paid more had it been finished. The wall cost the cartels a lot of money because their drug smuggling and human trafficking isn’t as easy as it was before. They were definitely paying just not the way most people see “paying”. Heard that from a smuggler being interviewed on a TV documentary. They don’t like the wall at all, yeah they find ways around it obviously but they don’t just stroll on over like they used to. If dumbass wouldn’t have stopped construction we’d have been a lot better off, regardless of who was paying for it. The border patrol said it was needed and the areas where it was erected was definitely helping.


I guess it comes down to…what are people’s life’s worth to you and what is the true cost of a humans life. To me it’s a no brainer to build the wall.

I copied it and brought this graph over here.

Do you really think I didn't also check Biden's?

But this is not about Biden -- it's about Trump and his declining support.

He had stated he would not run again but seems he is just going to step down early.

Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, a hardline conservative who has clashed with his own party at times, announced on Tuesday that he will leave Congress at the end of next week. Buck’s decision to step down before the end of his term will trim Republicans’ slim edge to 218 seats over 213 for Democrats, with three vacancies. With that breakdown, Republicans could only afford to lose two votes to pass legislation on a party-line vote.


This guy voted against impeaching Mayorkas. He voted against removing Cheney. Has stated he was not going to back Trumps re-election run. He has flipped flopped a lot.

Why are so many Republicans leaving when the majority is so slim. The DNC has already made sure to get rid of people like Santos while others who did worse still vote. The RINOs could not even stand to finish their terms. It is disgraceful what they are doing. They are elected officials.


“Everywhere I go in Colorado, Dana, I hear that people are not happy with Trump and they’re not happy with (President Joe) Biden,” Buck said. “I am going to find the right organization to join and I’m going to start working on that issue. We have to have better candidates up and down the ballot.”


This though, as stated, makes a very slim majority for anything to vote on in the House especially with the RINOs still there.


Because they see the writing on the wall. Trump is going to win and left of center Republicans / RINOS will find themselves in a weakened position.


I really don't think extremism is going to win.

People are waking up.

Oh but it has, the D’s have had a stranglehold in places for years and always scheming to expand their ‘love’.

Sure, but he was elected as a card-carrying Republican. He's supposed to be unhappy with Biden. He's not supposed to be unhappy with his party's apparent Presidential nominee.

And you know that how?

You hang out amongst them and get their personal “word”?

Or you read propaganda?

We have very long coastlines both east & west.

Walls are not gonna stop the drug trade.


More than $239 million worth of coc aine − including a colossal amount found inside a narco self-propelled submarine − has been seized in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast, federal officials announced.

The United States Coast Guard reported the coc aine, which weighed just over 18,200 pounds (9 tons), was seized on a half-dozen dates last month and offloaded in San Diego on Wednesday.
