RNC member: I am not voting for any Republican who is not backing Trump
CNBC ^ | 10/10/2016 | Lori Ann LaRocco

Posted on 10/10/2016 5:28:04 PM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

Over the weekend CNBC learned a page on Facebook called Vote Out Every Republican That Opposes Trump was created, and members like Diana Orrock, Republican National Committeewoman for Nevada, are promoting the page in their status posts encouraging followers not to vote for the candidates who they feel have abandoned the GOP presidential nominee. "As national committeewoman, I am supposed to keep my personal beliefs to myself, but I have never been a party-over-principles type of person. I have always been a principles-over-party individual," she said.

"I am no longer endorsing Joe Heck in the Senate race," explained Orrock. "How hypocritical of him to denounce Trump on comments that were 12 years old and locker room banter? By not endorsing Trump, he is supporting Hillary."

I don’t buy that argument any longer. Our current “R”’s are totally supporting Obama and his agenda. They will not support Trump and they will pressure all new republicans to fall in line.

If they aren’t vocal in their support of him now that will not change in the future.

2. If Trump is going to get anything lasting accomplished, he must have the cooperation of Congress.

3. There is no chance that a Democrat Congress will cooperate with Trump. A Republican Congress is far more likely to do Trump’s bidding...if grudgingly.

4. Accordingly, if we want Trump to succeed, we’re obliged to vote for the “R” — as distasteful as that might be.


Sorry, there is ZERO evidence a Republican Congress will do Trump’s bidding. It will simply be more FU’s like Ryan gave to Trump today.

Frankly speaking...I trust NO ONE..in any GOP "official" position...

Coming close to believing them as much as I believe the MSM....

And that is ZERO....

Good for her. The only question is whether I leave Senate line blank against McCain or vote for the Dem.

While I know the media won’t cover it, it might be worthwhile to have statistics later that show McCain’s vote DROPPED rather than the Dem’s vote increased.

You’re not rewarding bad behavior, because of who is at the top of
the ticket. That enthusiasm for Trump correlates into successes down ticket as well. If Jeb were the nominee I wouldn’t even be voting.

There won’t be a next election if the Dems win Congress. Unlike the Republicans now, they’re going to use all sorts of powers to shut Trump’s agenda down and cut off funding for his initiatives.

If they don’t want him, they can sit in the minority.

What difference does it make?

I agree with the basic premise of your post. Yes, it really would be better for Trump, when elected, to have a Congress filled with RINOs rather than Democrats.

HOWEVER, that said, as exasperating as RINOs are, their FIRST DUTY IS TO HELP GET TRUMP ELECTED!!! Then, if they choose to be a thorn in our side, so be it.

This is why I now absolutely refuse to vote for any current "Republican" who actively fails to help Trump win this election. These filthy, vile moral cowards are failing their FIRST DUTY.

McCain and his ilk will now NEVER receive my vote.

Get a Republican Senate filled with RINOs like McCain, Heck, Sasse and Flake, and that won’t happen.

I don’t know why you say that.
I do not share your confidence in these backstabbers.

Why piss away a branch of government though?

We got the presidential candidate we want. Trump doesn’t owe these Republicans anything.

Yep, but at least you don’t have to carry around all that useless fat.

The President proposes, Congress disposes.

Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.

I’m not sure. These are republicans who will also backstab Trump in Congress. I expect them to war against him on illegals.
