Don't make the mistake of overestimating the appeal of conservative politics in all of these districts. A lot of these "RINO" House members -- like mine -- were RINOs because that's the only type of Republican who could win in these districts.

It's comical, for example, to see posts from Freepers who actually believe a Trump-like nationalist could win in a place like New Jersey. It ain't gonna happen, folks. Trump lost New Jersey by a wide margin!!

I can’t believe that Virginia is becoming the New Jersey of the South. Spit!

That tax bill cost the GOP big time. I got screwed over on taxes. I voted GOP anyway. But the typical independent (and many a RINO) will probably look at his tax bill and decide to make his local GOP pol pay.

Who gives a shit about NJ? F that. We need to consolidate REAL America and write of paces like NJ, a failed mafia state.

Agreed. People suffer from bias. They think that their world view is everyone’s world view. They think they should be able to elect the same type of republican in Jersey that I elect here in Southeast Texas. It ain’t happening. This is where the democrats are smarter than the GOP-they don’t eat their own.

Umm ... An incumbent congrsscritter has ~ 95% chance of re-election. Some 45 pubbie reps bailed on PDJT and us.

Now we have two years of misery with a dim majority in the house.

The bright side is that President Trump can stand up and say give me timely acceptable budgets or I will veto them the moment they hit my desk. They cannot overcome a budget veto.

Shut it down. All “normal” Fed checks go out - only “Non-essential” Fed employees get a 2 week vacation with reimbursement will “suffer”. PDJT can tweet these facts and stand firm against the house. Make it clear - non-essential employees get their back pay.

Any crap coming out of the house should face massive lawsuits on whatever tenable, arguable basis (See Dem tactics for reference) just to grind change to a halt.

In short, veto for actual conservative gains (Dem concessions) or stand firm.

Can’t stop.

Fire Sessions. Appoint a current “reliable” non-recusal-oriented DOJ Executive that will appoint a special council to investigate Uranium One, Obama, Hillary, et al (including Mueller, Brennan and Clapper) for treason and lesser crimes including littering - might as well go back 20 or 30 years just to be sure.

Of course, the Sec. State/Clinton foundations and pay for play would be of particular interest. I suspect the links to the truly powerful and the Russian connections would easily be established.

We still have the Senate for any national security, economic, border security, name your issue to stand firm on conservative principles.
