Michigan Republican Party gives up

[Matt]

What a disgrace - a major loser, most likely Karamo is going to lead the party into the next cycle...

And she has won it.

I thought it was Matt DePerno was going to be GOP chairperson Karamo and her demons UGH welcome to crazy town grassroots which they clearly don't know what's best for the party. STOP WITH ELECTION DENYING that isn't going to win an election unless in a ruby red district that would vote R in the front of the name no matter what.

A third party of traditional republicans seems like it would help democrats big time, further dividing the conservative vote.
Hopefully somehow sane republicans can retake the party. At least democrats seem to keep their nuts under control more or less.

I'm glad you're pathetic party realizes it has a problem. It takes quite a mess up to lose as badly as you did. Maybe you'll realize to leave abortion rights alone and focus on the economy.

Too many last night. Thanks for the catch.

How's this for a compromise? Republicans leave abortion alone, and Democrats leave guns alone. Deal?

We leave guns alone but there is adequate mental health funding and support to catch gun ownership issues already covered existing laws. In this sense, I agree with Bryce.

I agree with Bryce.

Arguably your best post...

This made my day...

With Karamo’s election, some veteran Republicans predicted the party will become increasingly “irrelevant” in future elections as big-money donors fund their own preferred candidates outside the party apparatus.

“Institutionally, the Republican Party at the county level and state level is dead,” said Dennis Lennox, a longtime GOP consultant.

“The people in the asylum have taken control of the institution. Most of the people here don’t want to win elections. They have no idea how to win elections. They’ve never talked to an undecided voter, let alone a Democrat.”

About 2,000 delegates voted at the convention, which was marked by some conspicuous absences. Outgoing chair Ron Weiser, a mega donor who had pumped millions of dollars of his own money into the party, did not attend. Nor did any congressional Republicans.

I just want to know why the people that voted for her thought: "This woman lost her election race by over 600,000 votes, raised very little money, and couldn't pull in independent voters... I know! Let's have her be the head of the party!!" They must be tired of AlL tHe WiNnInG...

It's gonna be a comedic next two years, at least!

I assume Karamo believes the results of this election allowing her to lead the party.

This comes up party-wise every few years. Watergate was the end of the Republicans. Then it was the economic crisis. Then when Romney blew it. And then Trump happened....

Here it is again. The Democrats were done after Reagan whooped that ass in the 80s. Then after Gore. Then Trump happened....

Neither of the two major parties is going anywhere on any level.
