Did you hear that Kristi Neom is one of the two being chosen by Trump to be his VP? I like her. I've suggested her before. The other one is Senator Tim Scott of SC. I like both of them. But it is a hard choice. I think both are great!

Please let us not abandon our party. There is no better place to go. We must help to clean it up by removing the RHINOS!

Abandoning the Republican party will only strengthen and expedite the
complete Marxist Democrat takeover of America.

I like Neom& Scott but because Neom has been a gov, I choose her; saw 2 of her speeches recently & she is THE WHOLE PACKAGE! Trump must pick her & he must be our choice as POTUS or we are truly done as e Democratic Republic.

1. Everytime there was a conflict with Democrats it is the GOP that caves and compromises.
2. They run pathetic, wimpy campaigns. McCain and Romney ran two of the worse Presidential campaigns ever. The recent governor's race in NC should have been an easy win, but the campaign was a disaster.The 2020 Congressional campaigns gave nothing for which the people to vote.
3. The GOP suffers from extreme poor leadership. It is beyond me how the current GOP chair has kept her job and McConnell should have been gone years ago.
4. There is no unity in the GOP because it tolerates too many RINOS.Give it to Democrats to always be unified.
5. The GOP is intimidated by the MSM and never realizes that it is never going to give them good publicity so they need to do what is right.
6. The GOP does not define the uncompromising principles on which it stands.
7. Just electing someone who calls themselves a Republican is not enough, if you cannot depend upon them when things get tight.
8. The lesser of two evils is still evil.
I could probably add more, but this gives an idea of why I am no longer a Republican

As far as my feelings politically, you've pretty well summed it up and I'm pretty sure there are many more who feel the same way because I hear it all the time in my circles. I'm not sure whether they don't believe strongly enough in the principles they claim to espouse or are just too weak to back them. The feeling I hear from Republicans around here are the frustrations of the leaders folding when the going gets rough. Not so the Democrats. If a Democrat introduced a bill in the House to fund some crazy project, the Dems would back it like Gen Z's back Taylor Swift and the Repubs would say, "Well, we better back it or they might hate us." Then if the bill turned out to be a disaster, the Dems would spin it to look like it was Trump's fault. I can't figure it out.

Having been through SD last summer I must say it was the prettiest state we traveled through. I don’t do snow so visit only.

The worst Blizzard I've ever driven through was (appropriately) on April Fools Day,

visibility was measured in feet, with 6 inches of snow and 4 foot drifts!


What town area is your den in?

We have to get over our reluctance to call the Democrats what they are & have been since the 1970s, fully committed socialists & communists. They are also committed pro-murderers.


Just look at OPP and what the liberal swine call us without hesitation. They are simply put, not nice people, virtually every last one with just one exception who springs to my mind.

Please remind him. He is seeking info who we think will be the best VP for him. Kristi, I believe will be very loyal to him. She has done an excellent job as governor. Loyalty is very important. I was disappointed by VP Pence he was a disaster!

Her name is Kristi Noem, please get it right. I reckon that Trump could make no better choice.

Kristi can be as tough as nails, an as sweet as honey!

I have spoken with Kristi on tele-conferences many times, both during her 8 years as our US Rep. and her

6 years as our Governor, and I back her 100%

America needs Kristi, and we South Dakotans will be glad to share her, for the good of our Nation

I once was a democrat when they were the party of the people. The democratic party of today is not the party of yester year. They have become the party of anything and everything. They have lost their tolerance level and have opted for insanity. Tolerating anything or everything only results in chaos and confusion. They no longer seem to care that their policies and programs do not include long term affects and what it means to future generations. They have played a major role in destroying the moral values of America with their endorsing abortion, same sex marriage, insane gender identity, and destroying the educational system in all age groups. I was raised a Democrat, my father who struggled through the depression thought Roosevelt could walk on water would not be part of the lying corrupt dealings which are now the mantra of the democrats. What those who support them seem to fail to understand that at some point if the Democrats are to stay in power their own members will feel the results of their corruption and radical agenda.

To one and all who would run from the Republican party, just when we need YOU the most.

The quickest way we can run the RINO's and the Old GOP out of the party of Republican Voters is at the Primaries,

If you run from those we are trying run out, you only make the fight that much harder for the rest of us!

Get back in the game, find the candidates YOU want, help them, support them, promote then, MAKE a difference.

Remember 2016? The GOP/RINO's fought against Trump every step of the way to the nomination, but WE, the

Republican Voters Carried the Field, and Saved the Party, and the Nation, from Jeb Bush!

The way I reckon things: Deserting Under Fire is a mighty poor way to Live Free. GET BACK IN GAME,

We, The Republican VOTERS, have Never Needed YOU More
