“Republicans who unendorsed Trump lost - Ayotte, Kirk and Heck.”

There’s still the “issue” of Speaker Ryan. He needs to go too. And FWIW, there are more RINO/GOPe turncoats in both bodies that need to be removed in two years.
In the Senate: Hatch, Corker, Heller, Flake and Cruz for openers.

Many more that need to be weeded out. Murkowsky, Heller, Hoeven, Alexander, Corker, Hatch, Rubio, McCain, Graham, Flake all voted for the Gang of Eight bill.

Trump will be able to accomplish a great deal by simply directing the executive branch to enforce existing laws and by repealing Obama's unconstitutional EOs, but there will have to be a winnowing of Republicans in Congress at the 2018 mid-terms before he can accomplish some things.

For all three of them, their abandonment of the principles they campaigned on was so quick and so complete that one can only conclude that their campaign rhetoric was bare-faced lies.

Well put, and let us, AND OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS, not forget this.

Louisiana Senate runoff is Dec. 10; Republican John Kennedy is favored.

We need to remember who the nevertrumpers are that are up for re-election in 2018.

"...their abandonment of the principles they campaigned on was so quick and so complete that one can only conclude that their campaign rhetoric was bare-faced lies. With Ayotte, one has to assume that her treachery cost Trump at least the number of votes he would've needed to win NH. She not only did this to herself, she put the nation at risk with her total lack of integrity."

Ayotte dropped her Tea Party posture as soon as she hit the beltway wonderland. When the blow back of her early votes hit her she should have learned, but that lure of beltway society can take a weak heart down.

The fact that her false heart cost votes to switch to (D) did cost Trump votes and it should end her career.

May all three bask in the warmth of their exalted principles and love of humanity.

I am surprised she conceded. It was only a few hundred votes. Was there an automatic recount and was it completed ? Had she just supported Trump she would have held her seat and Trump would have taken NH.

“Ayotte’s defeat to Governor Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire means another pick-up for the Democrats in the battle for control of the Senate.”

Ayotte was always a dependable D vote.
