Even Republicans don't like Congress anymore
CNN ^ | August 3,2017 | Ryan Struyk

Back in January and March, more than one in three Republicans said they had positive views of Congress, which is controlled by the GOP in both chambers. But now, that's plummeted to just 14% of Republican voters who give Congress a thumbs up.

It's no secret that Congress isn't exactly the most popular institution in American government. But now it's reaching new lows.

Congress sank to a 10% approval rating in a new Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday, with roughly five in six Americans saying they disapprove of the country's legislative body. This compares to an 18% approval rating in March.

Congress is no longer part of a Representative Government.

The RINOs are even more disgusting than the leftist Democrats, they are worthless week-kneed scum. We should attempt to primary every goddamned one of them.

THIS Congress is useless, mostly because of so many Democrats wearing R jerseys.

Much Cantorizing needs to be done.

Enact President Trump’s Agenda and they will be loved, well at least tolerated.

Our only hope to keep the House and the Senate is a swamp cleaning Primary purge of historic proportions.

yeah, gee, I wonder why.

If the sleazebags Murkowski and McInsane and Barnabas Collins had kept their promises and REPEALED the Death Panels Law, that rating might be higher.

Their blind and utter hatred of Trump (and thus of the American people) is detestable.

They never did like Congress. The unpopularity of Congress is hardly news. The rising unpopularity of the courts and of the media is more noteworthy.

I’m afraid not. Called myself an “independent” for some time. Another “Independence Day” may be in the future.

My congressman is John Carter.
His district has fort hood.
All he does us vote for any military issue, collect money for the next election and hide.
Call him and tell him, oh his staff, you want a yard sign and you’re best buddy.

Call with another concern, you get ignore.
RINO needs to be voted out.

I’d say a 10% favorable rating to TOO HIGH. Republicans in Congress are either gutless assholes or wimps.

“.........But now, that’s plummeted to just 14% of Republican voters who give Congress a thumbs up.”

I’m not, but is anyone else keeping track of which “Republicans” need be primaried in 2018?

They would rather destroy the entire world, watch it burn to the ground, rather than fight for the base that got them there and that they’ve used like two dollar whores for the past 40 years.
