You can't run without doing so unfortunately. But he was a relatively normal GOP House member for years and pretty respected

His recent rhetoric is disappointing though but I don't think any old school Republican can survive the cult.

Back to the board

NRSC: Following Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's victory in Michigan Democrats' messy primary, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released a new digital ad exposing his socialist tax hike agenda, ties to terrorist sympathizer Hasan Piker, and praise for a designated terrorist org (nm) - By suede August 5, 2026 at 09:05:57 AM

- Will be an interesting race. Rogers is less MAGAy than most GOP. Sayed will have to explain his policies. The concerning thing is that it is a Dem seat; not a pickup* - By Rich August 5, 2026 at 09:11:22 AM

    - Tax items - By Rich August 5, 2026 at 09:25:53 AM
      - No SS cap on the top 5% of earners has 65% support from Dems, 62% from Reps. Taxes on benefits and property taxes is an issue because 80% of seniors fear becoming homeless. On corp tax and economy, Wall St and Main St aren't connected anymore. We're in Oligarchy and a decade away from class warfare. - By gbmcq August 5, 2026 at 09:54:47 AM
        
        No tax cap without an increase in benefits is just a massive income tax increase. And it hits W-2 employees and small business owners who make good income, not “the rich.” - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:59:39 AM
        
        The SS cap is $184,500, that's 5-6% of Americans. Agree on employers matching, but the point was the policy has bipartisan support. Also agree on property tax, again worried about the seniors live SS check to check.* - By gbmcq August 5, 2026 at 10:09:52 AM
        
        Also beyond people only relying on SS everyone retirement is linked to Wall Street. All college endowments depend on Wall Street (assume you mean corporate returns). That’s just equity holdings without getting into lending side* - By harbaughdyssey August 5, 2026 at 10:37:19 AM
        
        Like the SALT deduction removal it’s basically a tax on the democratic base in high cost of living blue states* - By harbaughdyssey August 5, 2026 at 10:32:09 AM

      - I was going to say, Rogers pre-2022 is a very different Rogers. He's all in on election conspiracy after previously calling on Trump to concede.* - By gbmcq August 5, 2026 at 10:17:41 AM
      - I worked with someone who regularly talked with Rogers. - By GoBrew August 5, 2026 at 09:37:31 AM
      - And that's exactly the point. There is no such thing as less MAGA. You either oppose the corruption, etc, or you agree with it. They can spare us the excuses* - By Pal August 5, 2026 at 09:26:42 AM
        
        Which in my mind makes him unelectable. He is MAGA. If you like MAGA and trump vote for him because that will be his only role in a broken Senate* - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:33:11 AM
        
        I agree, which is why I will vote Dem. But Rogers would not be the worst thing among GOP is my point. Unfortunately it's a blue state so this is risky* - By Rich August 5, 2026 at 09:29:26 AM
        
        Would he vote with GOP on appointees and Funding? If yes. He is a trump enabler like Collins**** - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:34:11 AM
