The 10 Most Vulnerable House Republicans
PJ Media ^ | October 18, 2016 | Bill Straub

Posted on 10/19/2016 1:22:34 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Republicans currently maintain a substantial 246-to-186 edge over minority Democrats in the lower chamber – a 60-seat bulge. The 114th Congress began with the GOP holding its largest majority since 1931 – the final Congress before the Franklin Delano Roosevelt tide.

Democrats would need to pick up 30 House seats to grab the majority and reinstall House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, of California, into the speaker’s chair she was forced to abandon after the 2010 Tea Party rout.

Well, I’m not voting for McCain (I never have) for Senate. He has a 19 point lead over a female leftist moron, who I could beat stone drunk, but at least I’m consistent on him : )

If only P. Ryan would lose, but I see that’s too much to hope for.

McCain is a moonbat. We know where/who he’ll side with in a critical moment. He’s proved it over and over, and it isn’t with us.

At least with the lefist moron, you know the enemy you’re getting.

That’s not to say vote for the lefty; personally, I’d write in someone else. Just as a GFYelf to McCain.

That comment, which he later denied making, plus his opposition to legislation banning the Confederate battle flag at military cemeteries has drawn criticism and dried up some of his fundraising...

Congressman Garrett obviously knows his history.

As a condition of surrender, General Grant, in behalf of the Union, pledged that Confederate veterans would be granted the same rights and privileges as Union veterans. Included were the same pension rights and the right to have the Confederate flag flying in veteran's cemeteries.

Thus, banning the Stars & Bars from veteran's cemeteries would abrogate the instrument of surrender -- as well as being totally dishonorable.

I’m leaving it blank, like I always do with McCain.

The leftist moron is dumber than dirt, so she presents little problem : )

Worth the watch, brother.

Didn’t realize he sent money, medical supplies and food to North Carolina after the hurricane. Out of his own pocket.

Geez... wonder if the Clinton Foundation did that...

On NeverTrumpers list:

Carlos Curbelo (R-FL)
Robert Dold (R-IL)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

David Jolly (R-FL) - has called on Trump to w/draw in the past

Crescent Hardy (R-NV) - rescinded support of Trump (Oct 9, 2016)

Bruce Polquin (R-ME) - refuses to say where he stands on Trump (Oct 2016)
http://www.pressherald.com/2016/10/11/poliquin-again-refuses-to-answer-questions-about-trump/

Scott Garrett (R-NJ) - has signaled support for Trump
New Jersey Rep. Scott Garrett. (As of July 2015): A Hensarling ally who chairs a prized Financial Services subcommittee, Garrett has angered GOP leaders and many members of the committee. He voted against Boehner’s bid for another term as speaker, bucked leadership on a critical procedural vote and has refused to pay National Republican Congressional Committee dues.

Mike Coffman (R-CO) - 10/7/16 Republican Rep. Mike Coffman has broken from his party’s ranks and has said that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump should “step aside.”

Will Hurd (R-TX)
The two members of the delegation who have called for Trump to step down – Rep. Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth, and Rep. Will Hurd, R-San Antonio – both belong to the small minority within the Texas delegation that never supported Trump in the first place.

Frank Guinta (R-NH) (disturbed by comments - more disturbed by Hillary)
September 26, 2016 - Congressman Frank Guinta Statement On Donald J. Trump’s Debate Victory

“By showing a clear vision for America and serious leadership, Donald Trump clearly won tonight’s debate. While Hillary Clinton further proved how out of touch she is with the American people, Donald Trump offered real policy solutions that will get our economy out of a ditch and show toughness in the fight against terrorism. Americans looking for a proven leader to change course from the failed status quo know Donald Trump is the only choice to become our next president.” – Congressman Frank Guinta (R-NH)

Rod Blum (R-IA) - on the list still supporting Trump
Iowa’s statewide and congressional elected officials — Gov. Terry Branstad, U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, and U.S. Reps. Rod Blum, David Young, and Steve King — are doing great harm to Iowa, themselves and a future Republican Party by continuing their endorsements of Donald Trump.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If any of these guys are your Reps, other than the two officially on the #NeverTrump list, do more research on your own - the above was just a quick google! Positions may have changed.

That's only the top 10. But even so I don't see how the Democrats pick up 31 seats short of a complete melt-down of the GOP at all levels. And that ain't happening.

Depends on how many take Rush as serious as I and my wife did. We blanked the poliquin race.

No more RINOs

Only a Trump victory will have ANY consequences.


No, should the beast steal the election assisted by the GOPe there will be a full blown GOP civil war. No going back. This POTUS election is an 8 year vote. No do-over in 2020.

Interesting Rush quote given he was dumping all over Trump today. “Conservatism” is not on the ballot, etc. Really firing up the troops to GOTV. Not.

Iowa’s Rod Blum ran in a district that leans Democrat, proudly aligning himself with Iowa’s Steve King.

One of Blum’s first vote was against Speaker Boehner.

Blum could have played safe and voted RINO in his lean-Democrat district, but has remained an anti-establishment conservative.

He has ignored the Stalinist Des Moines Register (like Joni Ernst has), and emphasized his support of Trump.

He’s too old for leadership, but he is a great, patriotic American when he could take an easier path.

That’s great - I hope he will be rewarded with re-election.
