RNC Chair: Base Will Walk if We Don’t Build Border Wall
lifezette.com ^ | 26 Apr 2017 | Kathryn Blackhurst

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel warned fellow Republicans that voters “are going to hold us accountable” if “we do not keep the campaign promises that were made,” during an interview Wednesday on “The Laura Ingraham Show.”

McDaniel predicted many Americans would be frustrated by the news a downpayment to start construction of the border wall would be dropped from a must-pass spending bill in Congress this week. Noting that building the border wall was “front and center” in Trump’s 2016 campaign, the RNC chair insisted that “our voters are going to expect us to act on it.”

“I know that our voters are going to hold us accountable in 2018 if we do not keep the campaign promises that we made,” McDaniel said. “And so, when you get to Washington, sometimes you forget what was said outside. And it’s important that we bring that back to Washington and let them hear what the voters expect of this government and this president.”

LifeZette editor-in-chief Laura Ingraham referred to reports of GOP leaders “sitting behind closed doors” and laughing at the prospect of building the wall, to which McDaniel warned those lawmakers are “going to lose the trust of our base.”

Yeah I will sit home. If the Republicans are going to do the Democrats bidding what is the point? I haven’t voted in a House race since 2010 because my congress creature is a tax, borrow and spend big government Republican and he thinks that cutting $3 million from a budget is making big progress, yeah he actually said that in a letter to me!

The ONLY thing the Republicans have done right since 2010 is Gorsuch, otherwise they have been complete failures begging to end.

Base Will Walk if We Don’t Build Border Wall

The base will walk from whom? Trump? It seems to be easily forgotten by these people Trump is making the strong effort to push the agenda that got him elected. But with nearly half the Congress so embittered about November they'd sooner see the country go up in a mushroom cloud than deal with Trump, and much of the supposed allies ossified with timidity toward any appreciable change to virtually anything, WTF is Trump expected to do??

Exactly. They expect us to believe they can’t find a way to build a wall with all the money they spend every year on BS?

You are too funny. Raince (Sp) was the best thing that ever happened to the Republicans. He singlehandedly got us 1200 more seats in his tenure. No one else in history has done that. He is so under appreciated that it is a sin.

If the corrupt colluding GOP don’t support Trump at ever step, they’ll never occupy the White House again. There are no more chances here.

“Where are they going? “ Assuming there’s no wall, at that point what difference does it make?

Let it be known far and wide, Congress either funds and starts building the Wall now, or Republicans stay home in 2018.

Republicans may not lose their base, but the base might lose some of their Republicans

Both parties have been riding in the same limo for decades. To be honest, I don’t think the Republicans care if they lose their base.

Of course the Republicans don't care if they lose their base.

They do care if the base loses them.

First step was to get rid of Obama and Clinton.

Next step is to get rid of a bunch of Republicans who need to go.

If Trump does not fill his promises and if Trump ends up being like all the rest... I have no reason to vote ever again for anyone... My hope was/is in Trump and if he can’t do it, no one can under the circumstances the democrats dish out and the republicans aren’t ever going to do anything for us. The one thing Trump could do if he can’t do anything else... is to get term limits as law.. the founding fathers did not realize they’d make it a congressional career... and I’d like to see those career politicians sent HOME! That would make up for all the rest.. because if we got rid of all those politicians who have been there too long and forgot about the people... we’d have a new country again!

Let me be blunt. If these corrupt SOBs ever succeeded in destroying Trump, for all intents and purposes, there will be no Republican party. America will not be made great again, and the U.S. will continue to sink into a controlling globalist/leftist abyss. This is it.

Ya heard it here first.

Wait, they’re changing it from build the wall to passing a down payment on building the wall?

No way, Jose.

Build the wall, dumbies!
