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.”

I am convinced the republican party has been infiltrated by liberal democrats. There is no other explanation for their ineptness.

Almost as if they’re saying to Trump, this is OUR sandbox, you don’t belong here. We will play by OUR rules and you will play the way we tell you to play.

Good grief!

"RNC Chair: Base Will Walk if We Don’t Build Border Wall ..."

.... Well .... Duh. Of course the base will walk .... That's why the Democrats and GOPe are trying to guarantee that the Wall won't be built .... It's called "Divide and Conquer." It's a tactic that the Democrats use very well .... And sadly it a tactic that the GOP falls for almost every time thanks to the co-operation of the useful idiot GOPe.

Who do I blame for the Deep State putting in a Romeny at the head of the RNC party?

There is no reason why the wall can't be fully funded NOW!

Do it!

SO just after his first 100 days Trump has already turned to the dark side? I am holding out thinking he is stronger than that. I hope....

Only a handful of incumbents are ever primaried out and that is mostly in the House. Politicians know that. Why else do the likes of McCain and Graham, et al, shove stuff in the faces of the voters?

Most times, the only way to get rid of a senator, especially, is to vote in a replacement from the opposite party. Seldom will a party vote out their own incumbent.

“We need a list of wobbly and cowardly and fence-sitting Republicans so we can plan now for the primary election process.”

More efficient to list the ones who are steadfast. Short and easy to remember.

What about the Trump Dynasty?

Hate that too?

Many people do. Jared and Ivanka are highly suspected around here. FWIW.

Yep. Build the wall, repeal obunghole care and ‘lock her up’. Otherwise, that’s a big nope in 2018 and 2020. It really is that simple.

Sit home and​ default to the Dems?

Sit home, oiling the tools, preparing the mind, body & soul for what is to come, and yes, default to Dems. We're headed in the same direction with either dummys or GOP traitorous wretches. It'll just be a little faster with the dummies.

I like Ronna Romney a lot. She is the right person to lead RNC.

I do not like the Trump kids having their influence over Trump either. Good point. I do not trust Jared Kushner or whatever his name is.

I completely agree, if the CR does not contain funding for the wall leave the GOP and join a conservative party.

....”if the CR does not contain funding for the wall leave the GOP and join a conservative party.”......

At this point NONE of the parties are functioning as the people want.....but to vote in local elections you have to be registered to a party here.....Conservatives haven’t done anymore than the others IMO....they’ve all become obstructionists as far as I’m concerned.
