Mike Pence's chief of staff wants to 'purge' Republicans who won't unite behind Trump
Business Insider ^ | 10/3/17 | Michael Kranz

Mike Pence's chief of staff Nick Ayers on Tuesday pushed wealthy donors to unite against Republicans in Congress who oppose Donald Trump's agenda, advising them to "purge" the small contingent of GOP leaders impeding the implementation of the president's campaign promises.

According to an audio recording of the event obtained by Politico, Ayers departed from Mike Pence's generally conciliatory public tone at a closed-door Republican National Committee event at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, and urged a more aggressive funding strategy.

“Just imagine the possibilities of what can happen if our entire party unifies behind him?" Ayers told donors. "If — and this sounds crass — we can purge the handful of people who continue to work to defeat him."

“Ryan and McConnell will be difficult to dislodge.”

Maybe a dead horse’s head in each of their beds will convince them otherwise.

I don’t particularly care for “purge” - but definitely a few of the worst deliberate obstructers need to be replaced ASAP if trump’s presidency is to have any chance of success ————————I nominate McShame, his bff Lindsay, flake, Collins, Ryan, and a couple more

“With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war,
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.”

He’ll be the greatest President ever when he drops a MOAB on Capital Hill when Congress is in session.

There will be dancing in the streets.

”Me thinks” Pence & his staffers have SEEN THE WAVE and are rushing to get on it while they can — before they are left behind!

Ryan and McConnell are a huge part of the problem, but they’re dug in like ticks. Getting rid of them will be a challenge.

Great news from our Vice-President.
If he plays his cards right, literally, he’ll have my vote in 2024.

Definitely agree: Sessions MUST GO!!!
President Trump needs to totally drain the swamp at his DOJ!!!

Also, Ryan might be acceptable to continue as Speaker but the Turtle, McConnell ought to be replaced asap. Way too many pieces of legislation are languishing under his “leadership.”

Pence backed Luther Strange so he needs to change his direction as well.
