So in other words, hundreds of thousands of democrats switch over to vote for Trump in the primary and now you want me to not vote down ticket. I don’t think so.
“The down ticket are elites? Is that what you’re saying?”
I’m not sure how you could get that from my statements.
What I’m saying is that the behavior of Paul Ryan and the entire GOP towards the nominee chosen by their voters is a disgrace. The only leverage we have at this point is to threaten to withhold money from the party and support for their candidates. I believe if enough of us make this threat they will fall in line.
Having a “Republican” legislative majority has been worthless these past few years. Getting Trump in the White House and taking control of the party might actually do our country some good. The GOP-E obviously wants to see Hillary get elected. I dread the thought of what a Clinton White House could accomplish with the compliant help of a GOP-E legislative branch.
Good points, but I’d like to see Ryan returned for one last term, to see him voted out of the speaker’s chair and reduced to back bencher status. Then he can be primaried in 2018.
In other words, I want his public humiliation to drag out for a long, long time.
I concur the GOP has been horrible. I want ALL the GOPe out of Congress. That being said, I don’t want to commit suicide either. Voting in Trump is paramount. Allowing the RATS to win the Congress back is suicide. Hopefully, you will decide not to commit suicide as well. If you do decide to commit suicide, just think of all the people who will suffer because of your selfishness.

I am voting Trump.
I will vote for Dave Brat, he’s done what he said he’d do when we Cantorized the weasel Eric Cantor.
If I were looking at weasels on my ballot, like Joe Heck or McCain, I would not vote for them.
The weasel from Wisconsin needs to be removed as Speaker by whatever means.
I left him a message that I would not be voting for Rino Hardy and Rino Heck who bailed on Trump. I had to choose a subjet so I choose immigration.
Heck is a one star General, I guess he is like a French general waving the white flag and bailing on Trump

The Republicans have to be sent a message that this Uniparty behavior does not pay. There’s no difference between GOP and RAT at this point so why worry about having a RAT win?
“If it is a RINO I can see not voting for him…but not everyone…We need to keep the senate and house”
My House Rep, Pete Sessions, is one of the worst RINOs in Washington. I voted for the Republican challenger in the primary, but the turd won anyway. Now I’m faced with a binary choice for House Rep in November.
I am so torn, but I can’t vote for the Dem, and I refuse to leave it blank. Just makes me want to punch something.
Why?
I'm voting Trump/Pence and no one else. Down-ballot will remain blank.
These P-words had their chance, and proved themselves to be not worth a bucket of spit. Supposed GOP "control of the Senate & the House" under Ryan and McTurtle — marked by surrender and appeasement — was in actuality Democrat control.
Worse, the GOP party apparatus has actively undermined and sabotaged Trump this entire election cycle, despite the superficial crap wan "support" they claim. Party perfidy will not be rewarded by my vote.
If I lived in other states, I'd make exceptions. I'd vote Sessions, for example. But I'm in Florida. Rubio has not earned squat from me.
Not only must Trump win, but the treasonous GOP-Dem alliance must lose. If a President Trump ends up with a Democrat Congress, it will be a restoration of Constitutional order, with actual explicit battles among the re-legitimatized separation of powers. Far healthier for our system than Trump dealing with GOP globalist snakes and weasels wearing "limited government" masks.
“I’d like to see Ryan returned for one last term, to see him voted out of the speaker’s chair and reduced to back bencher status. Then he can be primaried in 2018.”
Unfortunately, I have no confiddence that the GOPe will remove him as Speaker and in that position he will be able to do a lot of damage and cause unnecessary delays in President Trump’s agenda. Make no mistake, this petty little a$$hole thinks he can be president, so you will see him do all in his power to thwart President Trump, and if the worst happens and we get Hillary, he will help her with her agenda.
“If a President Trump ends up with a Democrat Congress, it will be a restoration of Constitutional order, with actual explicit battles among the re-legitimatized separation of powers.”
Why would ANY rational American want the RATS to control Congress EVER? IMO, you are advocating suicide for the nation. At best, a early impeachment trial on BS trumped up by the RATS who’ve been discussing impeachment as an option the day after Trump is sworn into office is what we get with a RAT Congress. Insanity!

Your point is well taken, and I don’t want to sound like a cockeyed optimist.
One sign of hope is that when RYNO had his conference call with GOP back benchers last Monday, he got little support.
One story I read quoted Calif. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher saying only one participant in the conference stood up for the speaker.
Maybe this is an exaggeration, but I would be willing to at least hope RYNO is alienating a lot of GOP representatives.
As I stated, I want RYNO’s political career to die by slow torture.
Yeah, because the GOP-controlled Congress has thwarted Obama and liberal policies for eight years.
Said no rational American EVER.
“Yeah, because the GOP-controlled Congress has thwarted Obama and liberal policies for eight years.”
Yes, the GOPe sucks. No argument there. Replacing them with RATS though is idiocy at best. It would be suicide for the nation.

No, idiocy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. You seem unaware we have sitting GOP Congresspeople openly campaigning against the will of GOP voters and their GOP nominee. As long as you support their disrespect of us they will continue to support Democrats.
Until they fear us, nothing will change. The House is safe. The Senate is almost certainly gone at the ballot box or through treachery. Refusing to support Hillary Criminal enabling Republicans is the only card we have. Use it or lose it as they say, FRiend.
So much of this argument for giving the Congress to the RATS reminds me of Glenn Beck “logic” it’s just sad.

Nice strawman, stickman. And GOP establishment trying to give the White House to Hillary Criminal? Interesting you don’t take umbrage at that.
“And GOP establishment trying to give the White House to Hillary Criminal? “
LOL!!! You Becksters crack me up. One of the many reason I support Trump is because he is not GOPe. Like you I want the GOPe DESTROYED. I want them run out of power forever. That being said, I think giving Congress to the RATs this election cycle is not the way to do it. Let Trump humiliate & destroy them while they are in office & Cantorize them all in 2018. To willingly let RATs regain control of Congress is illogical in the extreme.
