The GOP LIVES to destroy conservatives.

They continue to GRUBER America with their socialism and lies.

You can’t find a stupider person than a Republican.

First, the GOP must die. Everything else comes after that.

Congress has long demonstrated it has RINOtraitors. Until they are removed from office they will always betray America.

“I’m going with Reince. He and Paul Ryan have been best friends since boyhood and I don’t trust either one of ‘em.”

Me too. Reince strikes as being a little weasel. I can’t understand what Trump gave such an important position.

Perhaps Donald know Reince is a weasel and put him on the post to expose him and then eleminate him.

The RINOtraitors have to be in the majority—otherwise they wouldn’t have Ryan and McConnell as leaders.

What they should do is fund the subsidies through a federal Gofundme and if its insufficient then they pay pennies (or micropennies or less) on the dollar via tax credits. And they should codify the hardships relief of last week’s executive order. Then the ACA will die all on its own.

A bit non sequitur, don't you think?

Lol, the leaker is the least of the problem. In fact the leaker gave those who are paying attention a score card to work with.

I still can’t seem to find the link to this leaked audio. The only audio link I could find from you post was a report by WP on the goings on in Philadelphia and how Trump sort of set the agenda.
