WHAT ISN’T SO GRAND ABOUT THE GOP

The Establishment Democrat and Republican Parties have become a good old boys club controlled by $$$ special interests groups.

The Right talks a big game about principles but what happens when your own team breaks ranks?

In this episode, Montana State Senator Theresa Manzella unpacks how nine Republican senators “mutinied” on day one, siding with Democrats and setting the tone for the entire session. The grassroots answered: at the state convention those nine lost their voting privileges, and new leadership aligned with the platform was elected. It wasn’t pretty but it was necessary.

We dig into why the GOP drifts left (deals, pressure, and perks), how a small number of bad actors taints the brand, and why a written pledge to the party platform should be the baseline for anyone seeking office. We also tackle election integrity anomalies, water rights battles and their tie-ins to international frameworks, and the growing tension between populist conservatives and a “billionaires’ club” that wants the brand without the burden of principle.

If we want statesmen again, we have to reward fidelity and retire the RINOs.
