2018 Could Be The Year Incumbents Are Shown The Door In A ‘Trumpian Manner’
dailycaller.com ^ | 9/9/17 | Ginni Thomas

Cuccinelli said Republican leaders like to play the “crisis game” of legislating up against a deadline or recess. In a recent Facebook post, he provided the empty leadership arguments given:

If only we had [more power], things would be great. We need to just get past [current fight] and focus on [future election] so we can have [new higher electoral number] and then we will be able to [win policy we are not currently fighting for].

But they have “never played it with a president willing to take shots at them,” Cuccinelli said in this exclusive video interview.

This is why what Trump did this week is important. The Establishment excuse is always: "we can't work on policy because we're so busy with our usual plan/game. Maybe next year, oops, we'll be trying to get reelected, sorry."

Trump upended their gameplan.

It’s high time someone upended some game plans. People are tired of hearing promises & seeing no results. One of the big gripes is having politicians continually breaking the law,but never(rarely anyway)seeing anyone serving time for it. Getting re-elected seems to be the only thing that matters....next to acquiring as much of the taxpayer’s money as possible. There are some honest lawmakers,but they seem to be in a minority.

The Amnesty Senators MUST GO!

Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022

McCain won’t make his next election.

Trump and pelosi.. can’t wait to have more shumer and pelosi types in congress.
Did they get what they wanted. A complete end to debt ceiling. Up next a balanced budget like CA.. #notjustno
Wake up people.. I’d there is no more debt ceiling thanks to the devils triangle. . Well it’s endless taxation and unlimited spending from here.

He's also appointing judges to counter and replace Obama- and Clinton-era judges that will uphold common sense and the law.

The electorate are tired of pro-mass-immigration RINOs:

Sen. Jeff Flake’s Poll Numbers Are Only Getting Worse

Things are looking increasingly bleak for Sen. Luther Strange in Alabama

Now if Kennedy or Ginsburg would only retire.

“We need to just get past [current fight] and focus on [future election] so we can have [new higher electoral number]”

I didn’t elect them so they could worry about their jobs and their future. I elected them to worry about all of our jobs and this country’s future. You do what you said you’d do, and you got a job. Worry about your job to the point that you don’t about mine, and you will not have one. I’ll find another one to plug into your spot that can do no worse than you did.

I love my President.

Not only is he destroying the Media Death Star, but he's dismantling the PhonyParty.

What I’m tired of is these guys work for a month or two, raise funds for the next 10 months and campaign the rest of their term. They get paid by us for two full years and we are lucky if we get two months work out of them.

It NEEDS to happen. Removing the dead-beat, do nothings is well past its time. Those who continually block, impede and drag out progress in this country need to be sent home permanently. When that happens to a few “feet dragger obstructionist”, perhaps some of those sitting on the line may decide to awaken and start earning the respect ( and paycheck) of those who put them in their cushy jobs in the first place. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

You need some medication. Trump is simply trying to find ways to break through the Legislative Branch. None of what he’s doing today with respect to the country’s finances is in any way permanent or non-reversable.

Mr. Cuchinelli appears to be the one who is most ready to NAME NAMES. My fear is that he will pick conservatives who are less likely to win in 18’. Rosedale in Montana? Never heard of him.

To y amazement there are FReepers who are condemning Trump for making the debt deal with the Democrats who turn around and cheer for terrible legislation filled with bad ideas just because it was put forth by a Republican.

Haven’t we learned by now that the great racist George Wallace was right when he said “”There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Republicans and Democrats”?

Congressional Term Limits would work to fix this problem.

No more phone calls, no more postcards, dropped the e-mail, and Facebook of the my representative. Bye bye!

It certainly could be shaping up to be a rare throw the bums out
coming election cycle.
And it could begin with Roy Moore’s election in Alabama. Sept 26.
