Yes eventually Trump who will be in the big dog seat will have these guys replaced.
To: Robert DeLong
Oh yes it would believe me.The ONLY difference is that the dummycrats stab you from the front, the repugnants stab you in the back. That's it. Otherwise, they share the agenda of the uni-party, and anyone thinking otherwise is deluding themselves.

There is absolutely no one in the Democrat Party that will do what is right for American, there are still some that will in the Republican Party. With Donald Trump at the helm they will abandon the party leaders. Believe me, there is a difference, and we must not hinder Trump by only controlling the Executive Branch.
Don't be foolish enough to believe Trump can accomplish things on his own.

Probably not a popular opinion, but even going ‘partial Trump’ is too much for me.Yeah, "since 5-6-2016 guy."

If the platform ACTUALLY MEANT ANYTHING to elected Republicans, Trump wouldn’t have anything to run on. But instead Republicans ALWAYS ignore it.
So I agree with Trump when he said that they can write whatever they want, it’s not binding on him, and he will govern as he sees fit.
