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.
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.
Wake up!! Everyone but Trump is Uniparty!! Throw the disloyal bastards out.
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.
Sadly, I’m coming to your way of thinking on Kirkpatrick.

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.
Do it, McAmnesty has had enough chances to betray the citizens.
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.
McSally is a Cheap Labor Express stooge, too.
Implying Soros?
Why piss away a branch of government though?
We got the presidential candidate we want. Trump doesn’t owe these Republicans anything.
That’s delusional.
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.
