On this issue alone, I don’t see why Ryan is being blamed. It passed in the house. On other reasons yes get rid of Ryan.

I did not say the POTUS can fire then. I said the House & Senate caucuses should fire them immediately.

McCain will get his just due from God almighty, not from any human being. McCain requires meds, prayers and forgiveness from our Lord, God Almighty!!! I refuse to bad mouth him, Traitor & Turncoat that he is. God will render fair, objective,justice.

He moment of Satan glory is fleeting. America & Trump will triumph, Chuck Schumer and his Democrat scum & vermin will not!!! The hate, envy and evil put forth by McCain will lead him down the path to forever, Hell Eternal!!!

"Honestly, they all got to go. Everyone except trump."

I agree 100%.

Patriots need to get rid of all members of Congress that don’t support Pres. Trump by sending these members home after the 2018 elections.

In the meanwhile, patriots need to get Trump up to speed on the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, particularly Congress’s Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!

Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.

In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed here.

Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.

Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.

”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!

Neither of them will, or should, go.

The constituencies that elected both are solid and that's the way American politics works.

Forget about the "Republicans" east of the Hudson river, as well. Their seats aren't going anywhere except to Democrats, but they caucus with Republicans, which means while their votes aren't reliable, the Congressional committees, where things actually get done are run by us.

That is NOT nothing, although too many FReepers think it is.

The people who need to go are those in red Republican districts/states who are not Republicans. Jeff Flake, John McCain (a problem soon remedied by God, but his seat must not go to someone like him.) Murkowski, Cochran, Graham, Hatch, Corker, Cornyn, Portman, Capito.

There is absolutely NO reason why any of these people should be serving in the US Senate as Republicans. Unlike the Maine Ladies, they have no excuse for their behavior and voting record, and although McCain is taking the heat, the truth is that any ONE of them could have been the 51st Demonrat vote, and would have been that vote if the disposable Senator from AZ had already died; he was their cover, that's all.

HIGHEST Priority: 0bama holdovers in the Executive Department, and those -- like McMaster -- protecting them. We would be better served by empty desks than keeping these people. Trump needs to FIRE McMaster NOW, and he needs to call his other cabinet level people in and read them the riot act: 0bama appointees that CAN be fired MUST be fired, and Bushbots need to be subject to extreme vetting. If they're clearly conservative, fine, but the most egregious of them also need to be fired NOW, and a good number of them should be shipped off to harmless rubber room jobs where they can't backstab conservatives.

McCabe at FBI needs to be put on leave until the IG report examing his behavior/conflicts is concluded, and following the IG report, he needs to be fired.

Fantasies about firing The Turtle and Ryan are just that, and nothing more.

Fantasies about a new party are nothing more than Democrat agitprop and they need to stop. The Republican Party is OUR party. It is a conservative party. WE pay the bills. WE do the organizing. WE do the grass roots work. WE have the think tanks. WE have the ideas. We have the principles. WE should not be the ones to leave. The losers need to be the ones to go, and the clearest, fastest place to start that is in the Executive Department.

“Patriots need to get rid of all members of Congress that don’t support Pres. Trump by sending these members home after the 2018 elections.”

It’s all of them. Every last one.

A large number of people have not yet caught on to their scheme.

All these votes that are just one vote away from success are total BS.

They are all against it. Some were allowed to vote no. Just enough to cause it to fail. Those people are in relatively safe seats. The ones who voted yes are also against it, but they voted yes in order to maintain the ruse that change is just out of reach.

Change is not within reach at all. The whole damn Swamp has to go.

A Republican party that for seven years tells us how badly they want to get rid of Obamacare, but in seven years has forged no new plan to make that happen because they, your elite establishment (McConnell & Ryan), thought that “our” POTUS candidate, Donald J. Trump, would get politically slaughtered by Hillary Clinton. And to boot, in this present seven month period from January 3, 2017, when Congress convened for its new session, not one iota of real, honest, effort and arm twisting, passage to repeal Obamacare was forthcoming.

And to boot, once again, McConnell and Ryan have waltzed all these useless Congress critters off to another thirty day vacation...while nothing gets done in Washington, DC. Sir, you have to kidding me or, maybe you are just stoned on smoking too much reefer or not mentally sound.!!! For goodness sakes get real.

All it would take to dump McConnell & Ryan is some serious grit from Senate & House Republicans, and they would gone in one round of Republican members voting to throw them both out with the garbage where, they both rightfully belong. Either, they should lead and win or, get out of the way from folks with the guts, will and determination to win and deliver on things they promised to get elected. End of story!!!

You must be kidding me? If you have nary a clue who these folks are, and what depth, MoJo, and determination they bring forward to the table,...you are not too well informed.

Your rant may be satisfying to you, but it has nothing to do with political reality, no matter how many exclamation points you add.

Trump can clean house this weekend. Today. This minute.

That should be the #1 priority.

"Patriots need to get rid of all members of Congress that don’t support Pres. Trump by sending these members home after the 2018 elections."

I agree with you in principle.

But unless the blue states have a bunch of conservative voters that we don’t about, enough conservatives to nullify predictable Democratic ballot box stuffing, then I don’t see a completely new Trump-supporting Congress as possible.

In fact, the constitutional 6 year terms for senators means that up to 2/3 of incumbent Democratic and RINO senators are protected in a given election year.

There likely is not a civil solution to the problem of “The Swamp”.

The game has been arranged in such away that no single move or series of moves can make any actual difference overall.

I don't know about the rest of those on your list, but I do know Shelley Capito, have spoken to her personally several times.

West Virginia is still a Democrat state at heart....WV'ers love their unions, their disability checks, their Medicaid and their government cheese, and if the Democrats would retreat from attacking the energy industry this state would go back to the Dems in a nano second.

So don't expect a limited government conservative to win here.

There’s a night and day difference when attempting to remove someone from office if they are ‘appointed’ or if they are ‘elected’. One can’t simply be fired when they are duly elected by the people anymore than the President can be removed without just cause in an impeachment process.

All the impeachment noise from the left is just that; noise. However; dirtbags like Graham, and McTurd have made it clear they are willing to be traitors to the American people when it comes to President Trump. All efforts should be to de-fang these turncoats and censure them. Remove them from all committees and take away any perks they may have that’s paid for with taxpayer dollars such as travel expenses to exotic places for their pleasure. Make life a living hell for them by demoting them to something lower than a Freshman senator or representative. Make them look and feel like the lowest life form in DC. They will quit or they will do something stupid so they can be arrested and then fired for due cause.

Wouldn’t it be great if a new party was made called the Freedom Party where all the Freedom Caucus members switched to and we could vote in other like-minded Freedom Party members instead of these problem GOPe dirtbags?

OK, that's one to scratch off the list.

It doesn't change the point: we don't have a parliamentary system, so we have "big tent" parties instead. To get to a majority you have to accept the outliers but you need to demand absolute ideological purity from those who represent areas where you can get that.

Cornyn, and both senators from UT, just for example, have no excuse for their political positions, and we shouldn't excuse them.
