Establishment GOP terrified of voters in 2018

Throughout the halls of power in Washington, D.C. the establishment is growing increasingly nervous. Republican senators and congressmen alike are starting to look over their shoulders — and what they’re seeing is making a lot of people anxious.

The 2018 elections are coming… and it has the GOP very, very nervous that conservatives are going to vote them out of office.

Former White House senior advisor Steve Bannon is telling people he’s not coming after mainstream Republicans in the House the way he’s targeting senators with anti-establishment disrupters in primaries.

Many in the House are looking over their shoulders all the same… because they know voters are not happy.

“I can’t read Mr. Bannon’s mind,” said North Carolina Rep. Robert Pittenger, who could well be on the list.

Back atop the right-wing media organization Breitbart News, President Donald Trump’s ousted strategist is openly trying to topple Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and incumbents backing the Kentucky Republican. Bannon and his supporters say McConnell is the embodiment of an insufficiently conservative, unproductive party establishment.

The House is a different story… so far.

Once they’re voted out all the networks will be sympathizing with the poor folks and how the dumb electorate didn’t know what was best for them and were conned by Trump and Bannon. When the camera is off they laugh at the dumb Republicans.

Koskinen is gone and Trump has his own guy there now.

The gop faction of the uniparty is desperately trying to lose the election. They want to go back to the good old days when they didn’t have to lead and spent their time splitting up the loot.

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.

“They could try to represent the interests of their constituents rather than their donors for a change.”

There’s no money in that kind of nonsense.

Dave Brat has remained a good, independent conservative. I can’t speak for any of the rest.

You can Kostinin, but I blame the Senate. They could have repealed the mandate but chose to leave it in place (since they’re exempt). They would love to escape all blame—but they shouldn’t be let off the hook.

They should be scared. Judgment day approaches:
“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

Maybe President Trump will be the influence that (finally) ushers in an American Party (of some sort)

The asses are done and the pubbies are close enough to BEing done.

I don't know WHAT could come of this if we cannot structure ourselves maturely.

I’m truly convinced the GOPE leaders are prepared to give up the Senate to protect the swamp ... loathsome creatures that they are.

No, they’re not. If they were, they would be working hard to fulfill their promises... or at least give the impression. They want to block Trump’s agenda and his appointments and judges but can’t credibly do that as his own party. But if they give the Senate back to the Dems... problem solved!

I see no reason to vote for either an incumbent or swamp creature in my district or state.

If one happens to win the primary, I either sit out or vote for a different non-democrat party.

If that should come to pass, this Republican Congress will be the single most abased, pathetic, feckless blitheringly crappy political mishandling in human history. It will be like Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union, it will be the biggest failure ever.

A better analogy is the Ali phantom punch that put Sonny Liston down. The Rs are taking an intentional dive at the behest of the Deep State. The end result will be a Republican minority that will stand by and watch Trump get impeached. They despise #MAGA and adore globalism. This is what the lobbyists pay for not some damn wall...
