No Love for Trump Among GOP Senators

Trump may help us flush out these PC Rinos so that can be replaced, even if by a Democrat. Better that then prolong the reign of Rinos that sell out to the Democrats anyway.

Here on FR and other places, the D’s are rightly called DemoRATS.

It is time to start calling the Establishment R’s what they are and that is RinoRATS.

Pass this on... a Christmas present for the RinoRATS that are in the Congress and screwing their conservative base.

Can’t wait till Nov 2016...

We The People have no love for the GOP Senators who sold us out as well as Benedict Ryan and Company over in the House. November can’t get here soon enough, IMO.

I thought Sasse was pointing out a double standard between what the Senate was letting Obama get away with versus what they would let a Republican get away with. This is The Hill’s spin and I wouldn’t trust them. Sasse is one of the better ones.

“Imagine President Trump has been propelled into the White House with 300 electoral votes having won by his personality and his promise to get things done by acting unilaterally,” he said. “He signs an order that turns the Peace Corps into stonemasons to build the southern wall.”

And the problem with that is?

No Love for Trump Among GOP Senators

Whew. This is good news! :-)

[Major Matt Mason]

The latest sign came from Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who warned his colleagues against the dangers of a power-hungry executive branch on Thursday by invoking a hypothetical Trump administration. "Imagine President Trump has been propelled into the White House with 300 electoral votes having won by his personality and his promise to get things done by acting unilaterally," he said. "He signs an order that turns the Peace Corps into stonemasons to build the southern wall."

Where has this guy been for the past seven years, living in a cave? What are you and your dunder-headed colleagues doing to stop a president who actually IS acting unilaterally, Mr. Sasse? Nothing, from what I can tell.

[Redleg Duke]

Notice, “Republican” senators, not “Conservative” senators.

[ziravan]

He’s a maniac not to court Senators...

[Georgia Girl 2]

He can worry about that right after he’s sworn in. Or rather they can. :-)

McConnell suggesting that the Republicans nominate only candidates that have a chance of winning.

Some reporter should have asked him how that worked out the last two elections.

[MinuteGal]

Terrific idea! I LUV it.

Will do as you recommend from now on.

This is news? Who didn’t know this? Their scams are in jeopardy.

[MinuteGal]

How did Sasse vote on the budget bill?

[alternatives?]

Sasse was against the budget deal.

If you do a search on his speech he was pointing out the hypocrisy of the senate.

The Hill is spinning against Trump. (I like Cruz but Trump is my second choice).

[MinuteGal]

But how did he VOTE?

Not that I don't trust these guys, or sumpin'.

Time for the formation of a Conservative Party

I would love to see the first senator or senate candidate step out and support Trump! Poll through the roof I bet. Anybody that doesn’t support Trump should he win or win in a landslide I will not vote for!

[alternatives?]

He voted against it.
