“The GOP is as resistant to President Trump’s program as the anti-American democrats.”
That’s simply not true. I’m disappointed in the Republicans too, but they are nowhere nearly as bad as the half-crazed with Trump hatred Democrats. For one thing, although the press has largely ignored it, Congress has already passed several dozen conservative bills that Trump has signed. Most have to do with deregulation to stimulate our economy and cut back on government power, including a bill that has already gone a long way towards saving the coal industry.
As Trump has noted many times, they are at least working on health care and tax reform (and yes, we will eventually get tax cuts under the Republicans, while we’d get nothing under the Dems, and the Republican health care plans at least aren’t the single-payer system that the Dems will try to enact). The Dems on the other hand have already made it clear that they will oppose Trump at every turn, and the base has been very vocal about putting up primary challenges to anyone working with Trump. Trump will get nothing he wants if the Dems take control. Things won’t just be slow like under the Republicans; there would be total gridlock for the rest of his term (and a lot of voters will blame Trump for not getting anything accomplished).
Lastly, there is a real possibility these crazies on the left will seriously push for impeachment if the Dems get control of the Congress. In other words, letting the Dems win will essentially destroy Trump’s presidency. He will hardly be able to function in the environment they will create.
Normally, I don’t mind seeing conservatives not vote Republican all that much. But this time around, it looks to me like a direct vote against Donald Trump.
Yes they are. Worse even. The act in front of the TX cameras like they support Trump but off camera they are part of the movement to impeach him. There is yuge Republican disloyalty at work.
