But it’s more than that. We see them working AGAINST us with money spent on Luther Strange and his ilk.

The Turtle is hunkered in his shell. He’s too stubborn to listen to Trump’s base, but the donors have much more influence, of course.

A message to McConnell and Ryan and President Trump.

You ran on it, we paid for it, DELIVER or else.

This is not fake news

These donors need to redirect their money away from the denizens of the swamp (i.e., the GOPEs) and instead throw their support (and money) for the MAGA Party.

The GOP's mantra for the past generation.

Image result for you can never fail if you don't try

Bah.
Politico helping the Dems depress R donors.

At least the R donors are getting more than the D donors.

How about just a message to Ryan and McConnell? Trump is trying but he can’t do it alone. After legislatively thwarting Trump’s efforts, McConnell actually snarked, ‘It’s not so easy to make America great again, is it?’

What is Trump supposed to do? Write an EO that makes himself the Senate Leader [it’s not a serious suggestion].

Like the NFL, the ONLY thing these bastards understand is money.

Hit ‘em in the pocketbook. It works.

Well said...

The GOP told us for several years they wanted to do what we asked, but could do nothing because they didn’t have the House, the Senate, or the Presidency...

Well, now they have all three and yet still they do NOTHING...

To hell with the GOP...Vote Conservative for anyone that’s not an incumbent...

Trump handed everything to McConell and Ryan on a silver platter but now they’re working against Trump, not democrats?

Mitch and Ryan need to be gone. I loathe them both.

If you’re gonna donate, donate to MAGA, and make SURE that your donation will ONLY go to where you choose.

For years, we have elected “professional politicians” and they have covered each other’s butts...It has been kinda hidden from the American people by their obfuscations and obstruction and foot dragging...

Now that we have elected someone who is NOT a “professional politician”, the deceit is coming out from the woodwork...

We see clearly how they have played us, the American people...They cannot resist ganging up now against us because of President Trump...

Time to turn the tables, folks...

NO INCUMBENTS in 2018....

Snip
“What is Trump supposed to do? Write an EO that makes himself the Senate Leader [it’s not a serious suggestion].”

He can start by not considering an appointment of an Ambassador from the Clinton era.

He can demand the State Department, IRS, DOJ, and FBI, drain the swamp and quit protecting the Clinton’s etc.

He can build a wall

He can quit floating amnesty rumors.

He can get his liberal relatives out of the White House.

Indeed.

My vote is also closed to the GOP.

I’m a District Captain and I don’t know anyone who contributes to the NRCC, NRSC, or National GOP.

Only County level and specific candidates.

Same with friends across the country.

I gave just a little bit before the 2016 election. My reward? I get junk mail from Ryan and the NRSC nearly every day begging for more. What a mistake!
