    That's fine, but you missed my point. The very idea of a "Squad" is fitting for far-left Democrats. It's not something the RNC does. It ends up looking like this:

    Public financing of campaigns would solve this.

    Sadly, the greatest thing we have done has resulted in the times we live in, where your daily life and what you see on social media require two entirely different mindsets.

    I agree. McCarthy has preformed much better than anticipated or predicted at the start. I think the jury is still out though because his previous record of non support of conservative causes is not good. We shall see. If the GOP takes back the house in 2022 McCarthy is clearly the odds on favorite for Speaker.

    Like all current GOP members, it just takes one slip or failure to toe the line to be cut loose by the cult leader.... Ask diehard R Brad Raffensperger...

    Gotta be a tough existence, to walk on eggshells for 2 solid years..

    And with what Facebook and Twitter are doing with their so called “fact checkers” and gate keepers using content control to silence and gag conservatives it only speeds the conservative exit to places like Gab, MeWe, USA.Life, Parler, Duck Duck Go, and others just like we fled the msm to Fox News and now to OANN, NewsMax TV, CBN.1, Breitbart, etc.

    This is an internal house matter not having to do with the RNC. The Freedom Force is the blessing of GOP House leadership.

    Lol. Thank you. Now you now how I feel when Trumpers refer to the Democrats as the DNC.

    What I'm saying is that far-right Republicans don't do "squads." It's gonna look like the picture I posted. It's gonna be like a guy driving an Opel GT saying he has a Vette.

    This is a squad. AOC and the socialists are far from a squad. Unless of course you're using a literal definition and not the meaning THEY are intending...

    I agree. Diversity is for the racists and sexists. Get the policy right, and the diversity won't matter, or at least it shouldn't matter.

    OIC, but you should understand that Caucasian is really a racial description and it includes most Europeans, even us. Used nationalistically it places you in Chechnya, or very close. Ukrainians are Slavonic I believe, a subrace of Caucasians but many don't agree.

    I could be wrong, that whole area has a really complicated history. In any case, it's fascinating that we have Russian women in our Congress

    I’m old enough to remember the Opel GT. The idea that the original squad is anything at all like a corvette is simply ridiculous. A Gremlin or Pacer would be more fitting. Also the Freedom force will be quite comfortable in the GOP mainstream while the squad tries to fit into the democrat side while trying to push their whole membership further left.

    As a Ukrainian, she might object to being called a Russian.

    More than anything it will lessen the ability of the left to irrationally refer to everyone as sexists without cause.

    Getting rid of the last three GOP speakers has freed him to be his real self in leadership now rather than be jr to them. His largely rural farming and oil congressional district is strongly conservative.

    Lol. Dude, I can't stand AOC. Okay?

    I wasn't qualifying anyone; it was an analogy meant to show that Republicans don't drive Corvettes. They should show up in a new Silverado HD. Trying to imitate far-left Democrats makes them look like someone trying to imitate a Corvette with a GT. Better?

    That likely is very true. His antagonism against conservatives was always when Boehner or Ryan was in charge and neither of those two gave much quarter to any representative who supported conservative causes. But there is always in my mind this fear that like so many before, including Boehner, Ryan, and a number of justices, were solid conservatives until they reached their pinnacle and then decided that being big dog in the establishment was more important than messy fighting for some conservative cause.

    I don’t think that imitate is the right description of what they are trying to do. Standup to them, call them out, oppose their policies is what this is all about. They will be much more effective in that message than a bunch of 50-60 year old white guys from fly over America would be.

    That's fair, but I disagree.

    I want to see Republicans get back on track. Trump is gone, so there's hope. The last thing I want to see from Republicans is an ideological group patterned after a Democratic ideological group with the express purpose of opposition to (and face it, competition with) that particular ideological group. The Republicans should be a contrast, not a mirror image. I like Republicans when they're individuals, and when they call out members of groups as individuals, rather than objectify the group with stereotypes.

    They already have a freedom caucus, so what's new?

    Of course, next, the Tea party will also make a miraculous resurrection, with the deficit becoming number one priority again, now that a Dem is in office. These guys are such hypocrites.
