The old Bobby Kennedy saying, “Don’t get mad, get even,” needs to guide the grassroots. Congressional Republicans getting on board President Trump’s legislative agenda is imperative. Passing the President’s big ticket legislative items will cement a new majority.
That gives the establishment the chills, a subset of whom are DC-owned Republicans. Those Republicans are the chief reason Trump’s legislative agenda is stalled. They need to be primaried into nonexistence. Like the sanctimonious and condescending Jeff Flake. That’s the grassroots’ goal in 2018: send as many GOP obstructionists packing as possible.
Even in the teeth of formidable opposition, the president has made the most of executive prerogatives. He hasn’t been daunted, and his successes are positioning the Republican Party for a long run as the nation’s dominant party. He needs GOP pols who will back -- not obstruct -- him on legislation and judicial appointments.
The grassroots aim isn’t to punish congressional Republicans next November. Trump can’t tolerate Democrat control of either or both chambers.
The plan to get the GOP where it needs to be is short and longer term. Press the existing congressional GOP majorities into action on the president’s agenda. On a parallel track, organize to cull out establishment hacks, replacing them with Trump grassroots loyalists.
Trump’s election started the GOP’s overhaul. The 2018 midterms provide another opportunity to liberate the party from DC-owned Republicans. It’ll take more than a couple of election cycles to remake the party. Call it birth pangs.

Primary the RINOs.
If the RINO survives the Primary and goes into the general election, stay home.
It does not matter to me if the Democrats control Congress or if the RINOs control Congress. There is no difference.
..........I wish every day we were NOT talking in generalities and instead talking a list of Republican establishment/globalist hacks in the Senate and House.
Publish the list daily so that activists back in the 50 states can start working to defeat them in 2018.
In my state, I put John Cornyn on the list. Around the country there’s Lindsey, McCain, Corker, McConnell, Collins, Flake........???????
“...“Don’t get mad, get even,”...”
Been my motto for most of my life. Still is.
