TeamAudra Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) You know who’s threaded the needle on this better than anyone else in the Republican Party? Marco Rubio. I believe he is best equipped to take over the party when it’s time. Edited January 9, 2021 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They permanently banned him. I don’t care how you feel about the man. That is an extremely slippery slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you incite violence on any platform no matter who you are they are going to ban you and they have every right to do so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been plenty of accounts that have done exactly what you described, and did not get banned. Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He became a sell out with Trump, in my opinion. But him being quiet unlike Cruz may help him in the long game.

Make no mistake, he does not like Donald Trump. He just can’t come out and say it, if he wants a future in Presidential politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed him closely in 2016 and he made his thoughts known on Trump, and that’s why I feel he became a sell-out; went from being super critical of him to suddenly not calling him out on the issues that mattered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m just making sure people are aware. Trump can still get his message out there in other ways. I’m not defending his words and actions. I just think this is going too far. People celebrating won’t feel the same way when the shoe is on the other foot. Edited January 9, 2021 by TeamAudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily; I prefer politicians who can stand by their principles most of the time and not sell them out when it benefits them. We will probably agree to disagree on this matter.

The bottom line is the Republicans need someone acceptable to the base, yet not offensive to moderate Republicans and Independents. “Threading the needle.” It will take a lot to convince me he isn’t the guy.

At least there's hope. The Conservative Party of Canada have been looking for "the guy" for about 6 years now. They still haven't found him.

I want the Conservative Party to give me a good reason to vote for them again, and I was really hoping O'Toole would be it. But no. Should have rolled with Rona Ambrose many years ago.

Oh I absolutely agree with you - I’ve been incredible disappointed in O’Toole as he’s generally more progressive but his messaging been bothering me a lot as well as his leadership skills. I absolutely agree regarding Rona - I do hope she comes back. I wonder if many bow out knowing that whoever won the leadership, they weren’t going to be PM - this is my theory as to why Kenney endorsed OToole.

Another important factor....he’s already been through the process, and has been thoroughly vetted. He can probably organize a campaign more quickly than just about anyone else. I expect we’ll see him planning events in some of the early primary/caucus states in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good point, but a lot can happen in 2 years. on another note, I would prefer that there’s not another 15 candidates but that’s unlikely to happen.

TeamAudra Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 This is exactly what’s happening. Give the left enough rope, and they will always overreach. ALWAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
