Trump may “need” good Republicans but, alas, that breed went extinct decades ago.

I would rather have enemies in DC with ENEMY embroidered in neon on their shirts than have enemies with FRIEND on their shirts.

Exactly right. Too many still don’t see this.

If you want Trump’s term to be successful, you will NOT give him a dim congress. Do the rinos deserve to be punished? Hell YES but let Trump do it.

So you expect the Democrats to confirm Trump’s nominees?

Or are you hoping to get enough of them in there so that they’ll be able to override Trump’s vetoes?

I am voting Trump and I am voting for my Rep Senate and House candidate. WHy, if Trump wins he has a better chance, marginal, but better chance,

If Trump loses then it does not matter. HIllary will rule by executive order, the SC will be packed and no entity within the framework of the constitution can or will stop her.

If Trump loses the the GOP is dead as a national party.

If I could find an honest republican I would support them whole heartedly. I can’t find a single one who deserves my trust so they can KMFA!

Let them eat my shorts.

I have no intention of rewarding traitors, connivers and cowards with the continued privilege of representing me.

Exactly right. It really is morally wrong to support those who have clearly demonstrated that they are dishonest, two-faced traitors, connivers, and cowards because by doing so you yourself become complicit in their crimes.

Look, if the GOP has done something for you or something that you approve of, by all means, vote for them.

Done something? Trump is utterly reliant on the RNC for pretty much everything because he can't come close to matching Hillary in fundraising (which is curious considering he said he would be self funding) and has practically no ground game to speak of.

Without the RNC/GOP, Trump would be dead in the water. He is absolutely reliant on their infrastructure.

The whole #nevertrump thing is stupid and self defeating, and so is not voting for Republicans down ballot who Trump would no doubt need to pass much of his agenda.

What is important is for all candidates to understand that there are consequences for F***ing us over.

If this principle was widely adhered to, and duplicitous incumbents were “primaried” out of office on a regular basis, their replacements would be put on notice that their own political careers could also be short-lived.

Well said. The most dangerous enemy is the one who masquerades as your friend.

I would too. But I guess the question comes down to which is better:

I could be wrong but I think GOP control is better than Rat control, even though the RINOs still effectively give the rats majority.

As much as I would like to see every RINO, never-Trumper, and Soros puppet voted out of office, I don't think we can risk losing control.

You can at least pressure the RINOs to tote the party line some of the time.

I think electing and then recalling if the opportunity to put another GOP member in office exists might be a better tactic than voting a RINO out of office and letting a rat take their place.

Nope, sure don’t, and I don’t expect Republicans to either.

Do you expect me to vote for failsauce Republicans? Because I’m not.

If you want to vote for Marco Rubio, be my guest.

He said he was self funding the primary, not the general.

Furthermore, the RNC isn’t on the ballot, but if it was, I wouldn’t vote for it either.

And the GOP isn’t going to pass any of his agenda.

If we don’t get rid of the Democrats who wear Republican jerseys we will never have a Conservative Party.The Corporate fix will always be in. We have gained next to nothing.

Hey shut up, you’re making too much sense.

Anyway, don’t worry about the House, it seems safe even if the B wins easily, the only conceivable way they could gain it is if she has big coatails, the chances of Trump winning and a rat House are literally zero.

The Senate is another matter, a narrow rat takeover and very narrow Trump victory is possible. But not likely.

A lot of people here may talk they are voting Trump and leaving the rest of the ballot blank but people like that are not representative of the electorate, most people aren’t reading 20 articles a day on how evil Paul Ryan is.

I agree. But there is a timing question. We’ve missed the chance to eliminate them in the Primaries. If we don’t vote for them in the general then the rats take control. We don’t want that either.

It doesn’t matter. Whoever wins the Congress in November THE RATS ARE IN CONTROL! Or more accurately the corporates/lobbyists are in control of both parties. I will not vote for any incumbent congressman. Ever.
