Pence to GOP: Stop 'fighting yesterday's battles'

Source: The Hill.com

Former Vice President Mike Pence in a speech Friday night will call on Republicans to move beyond "relitigating" the 2020 election as the GOP hopes to flip both chambers of Congress this November.

Pence, in an address to the party's donors, will say Republicans can only win “if we are united around an optimistic vision for the future based on our highest values.”

“We cannot win by fighting yesterday’s battles, or by relitigating the past,” he’ll add, according to prepared remarks. “Republicans can only win by offering real, lasting solutions to the problems Democrats have created for the American people.”

The stance again puts him squarely at odds with former President Trump, who has repeatedly asserted unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud and irregularities in the 2020 race.

That's the very essence of conservatism. The party of mulligans. They never move society forward or upward.

Hell they would love to go invade reservations and take the casino’s, Alamo would be a great weekend of fun for Proud boys. Stop those blacks from leaving the fields. Everything they stand for is yesterday, when MurKKKa was great.
Pence is a total idiot. He could not win Indiana sewage coordinator.

say what they want to do. They know the voters do not want what they want. As long is trump is calling the shots, Pence doesn't have a chance.

That would mean the GOP would have to put forward actual goals and policies. Much easier to continue promoting the Big Lie.

The problems democrats created are wanting diversity, equality for all people, the right for all people to vote, affordable healthcare, an educated population, which would strengthen a real solid democracy. Republicans cannot have that to exist.

The Republicans haven't offered a "real, lasting solution" to a problem for decades.
They have created real lasting problems that will be around for decades, but no solutions.

And it's not even the real past - it's some toxic bullshit confection of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Ayn Rand and "Triumph Of The Will".

So, yeah, good luck with that, Hoosier Mortician.

"let's ignore the damage Trump and his ilk have done to America and the GOP and go blithely forward, in hopes they won't sneak up on us and bite us in the butt."

What he is really saying is they he wants to sweep Trump's crimes under the rug and not prosecute him for attempting a coup, and a hundred more crimes he committed (WITH THE HELP OF THE GOP) while in office.

He has no loyalty. His legacy. He will never get anything from the Reps because of it.
