Fed Up Donors Tell GOP Senate Leaders Pass Bills Or Resign

Earlier this week we told you about how Nick Ayers, Vice President Mike Pence’s Chief of Staff had bluntly told a group of major donors that they should tell Capitol Hill’s Republican establishment that they would “…not only stop donating, I would form a coalition of all the other major donors, and just say two things. We’re definitely not giving to you, No. 1. And No. 2, if you don’t have this done by Dec. 31, we’re going out, we’re recruiting opponents, we’re maxing out to their campaigns, and we’re funding super PACs to defeat all of you.”

Turtle needs to step aside for a strong arm if the re-pubs have one. There are only 3-4 senators who constipate legit;ation. That’s where the gun needs to be pointed.

I think Pence is a good guy, and his chief of staff here helps solidify that opinion of him.

Him going to he game and then walking out, very cool.

Aren’t the doners establishment types? At least the big ones are. Maybe we need more of us giving $25 to our individual favorites. There’s more of us than there are millionaires.

I have never given ANY $ to the GOP. It’s mostly PAC’s. I guess I did learn from Sarah Palin to stop giving money to the GOP and just hand it over to personal PAC’s of your candidate.

Right off the top of my head, many of these donors want the existing swamp to continue - they are paying a lot to keep things just as they are, so what good will this do?

I am convinced that we have the best congress the lobbyists can buy.

I think it’s a case of establishment donors teaming up with Trumpists because the RINOS’s are also blocking establishment goals like business tax cuts and income tax reform. Plus, the more the RINO’s obstruct the more disgusted the country becomes which could lead to Sanderista government after the next election, which would be a disaster for everyone, including business.

McCain is in the first year of a 6 year term. He’s supposedly sick though.
If he changes parties before he dies, the Governor of Arizona is required to appoint a Democrat to fulfill the term. I am looking for John McCain to do just that the next few months. I hate trump so bad that he’s willing to do anything to harm him. Doesn’t matter about the people of Arizona doesn’t matter about the people of America,is just evil man.
