Congress...DO THE RIGHT THING! F re-election! DO THE RIGHT THING! If you are truly patriots stand up to the left and support your president! The Dimocrats did it constantly. Now it’s your time to step up! DESTROY the opposition and WIN for America. Don’t be left in the ash heap of republican retrobates of history! This is the time. Rise up!

Where are we, the rank and file? Where are our protests in support of Trump

You are right. Probably most of us work but could make a weekend protest. I think it would help if we had our own local networks so we could communicate about when a protest would take place.

LA won’t be part of the United States by then anyway, after CALEXIT, so they might want to rethink that.

How many of them ran away from Trump during the election, convinced he would lose and take them down with him? Here he wins and they have control of both houses and a chance to do something and they still run away. Worthless grifting yellowbellies.

Matt Drudge rarely gets involved. This is an intriguing development.

What good is Pence. He is buddies with these rino and is doing nothing to get them on track. Just like he did not help Trump and still got picked.

Congress? And what about us, the rank and file - where are we???

The left has mobs making scenes everywhere and the media just loves it, and it energizes and empowers the Schumers and Pelosis.

Where are we, the rank and file? Where are our protests in support of Trump, while the rent a mob fills the streets and airwaves with their propaganda.

We are either lazy or just amateurs or both. We vote, win an election and then we sit on our asses expecting the politicians we elected to fight the wars against the mobs and the media all on their own - and then bitch and moan when they cave under relentless pressure.

We need to resuscitate some of the old Tea Party organizations. Does anyone here have any contacts to the people that ran and organized them?

We need to become active and get in people’s faces like we did back then.

A few loud rallies will help stiffen the spines of politicians and CEO that are on our side. I’m sure Trump would appreciate it immensely.

We’ve got to realize that winning an election is only half the battle, winning the propaganda war is even more important.

If you’re the Majority Leader in the Senate or the Speaker of the House, you dream of having a good solid leader so you can deliver on the party’s decades old dreams of sound government. Fix it. Set things the way you want, so soundly it will last for the next 100 years.

Here we are presented with McConnell and Ryan, and neither of these men seem determined to accomplish one thing. What I have noticed is that they seem intent on preempting and watering down Trump’s plans.

Trump has plans for immigration, they seem to want to preempt with their plan. He plans on changing visas, they seem intent on countering that. Recently they seemed to want to propose how the wall should be built.

These guys should be in touch with Trump, asking him what they can do to help.

Instead it seems as if they’re too busy picking boogers for morning snack, to be bothered doing the nation’s business.

Where are the confirmation votes? Get it done!

Matt Drudge is 100% correct!

Agreed!!

We don't need affable men in these leadership positions that people on both sides "like".

We need deliberate men with spines of steel who both sides respect.

Recently?

I don’t believe they ever had them.

A few have grown some since Trump got elected. But not many.

You are right in what you say. But where do we start? I totally don’t trust Republican politicians ANY longer. I don’t want to be involved with these turncoat bastards. I vote for them because I have no choice, but they have let us down each and every time. Look what Bushie did after 2004.

This is what he said after 2004...he sounded a little like Trump!

Bush claims mandate, sets 2nd-term goals / ‘I earned capital in this campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it’
http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Bush-claims-mandate-sets-2nd-term-goals-I-2637116.php

But what did he do? Nothing! He was out the door after that. He had both Houses. And he totally blew it. And then we had the political disaster in 2006 and an even worse one in 2008.

I feel like we have Trump and THAT is it. One man. That’s scary as heck. I’m tired of being let down. Trump’s election was great, and you are right, we need to continue with our support throughout, but we need an apparatus to get behind, but I don’t see that apparatus in place.

I’m willing to listen to anything positive and any solutions you have to share.

Drudge is right. Congress is dragging it’s feet when they could pass bills and Trump signs them into law.

We need to revive the tea party organizations.

There were hundreds spread all over the country.

There’s got to be some here in free republic.

Maybe Jim Robinson knows some of the organizers...

We are watching. We will NO LONGER stand aside and just vote (R). You have to DO SOMETHING. EARN your position. Otherwise you are the ENEMY!
