Republican Fecklessness and Division Is Going to Destroy the Party

 RedState

There's no one across the national Republican Party's vast hierarchy of leadership that shows me competence, discipline, and an ability to unite and lead. Because of that, the results will continue to be predictable. 

"Watching the Republican Party these days is like watching a dog try to attack its own tail. Far from a well-oiled machine, the GOP has devolved into a dysfunctional mess punctuated by moments of fecklessness that push voters further away. 

"The most recent example came as a segment of Republicans joined with Democrats to effectively scuttle an attempt to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. What seemed like an open and shut case over the last few months was punted back to committee because when push comes to shove, the GOP just can't bring itself to take a tough vote and move forward with a unified front. Democrats do that routinely in order to move the ball forward. For Republicans, it's like herding cats strung out on meth. An impossible task. 

"Members of the GOP are scattered, looking after themselves, rarely seeing the forest through the trees. They won't impeach Mayorkas because it might cost a seat in some blue state, but by not impeaching him, they suppress their own voters, leaving to ask what the point of voting Republican even is anymore." . . . 

Yellow-bellied Republicans are killing America - American Thinker   . . ."Time after time they have voted with Democrats against the country’s and the GOP’s best interests.

"This latest death-wish vote was against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a man who has failed so badly in keeping America safe that it’s hard to imagine what difference it would have made if we hung a huge sign over the border crossings, “Terrorists, drug dealers and sex traffickers - welcome to America! Get your free stuff here. Food and lodging included.”

"Republicans lack the killer instinct to win. Congressional Republicans not only have no fire in the belly, they have no brains in their heads. Why else would they be voting with Democrats? They vote against their own agenda, their own conservative ideology, their own chances to Make America Great Again? Why do they do that? Maybe it is because, as Dan Bongino often notes, “Many Republicans are Democrats, but no Democrats are Republicans.' ” . . .

Donald Trump is the pluperfect representative of Republican conservatism, although he is less political than he is grassroots American. He is sharp, bold, brassy, and above all, courageous. He made some mistakes around COVID but in his place, facing an unknowable existential threat, would anyone else have done differently?

With 'Friends' Like These: Meet The Eight 'Republicans' Who Voted To Kill Mayorkas Impeachment Resolution (Video)  "Republicans supposedly hold the majority here in Congress. That’s something you wouldn’t necessarily know, because we sure don’t act like it. We sure do enable Joe Biden. We enable Mayorkas. We enable an open border. We enable an illegal invasion that’s murdering Americans every single day. But we can’t even move for a vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. This should be very frustrating to many people.

It’s frustrating to everyone I talk to and this type of lack of will, lack of courage, lack of I don’t even know what. They’re lacking a lot to actually hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable and impeach him is shameful. It’s absolutely shameful.

We finally have control in the House and we cannot move to impeach him. I think you guys know exactly what to do about this. And I’m sure you’re just as upset as I am. And I’m sure you’re just as outraged at why anybody, any Republican, would vote with the Democrats to refer Articles of Impeachment back to committee, where they go to die, and nothing happens to them."
