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."

I think he should call Steve Bannon and team up.

Get viable primary candidates, and then cut off funding. But Doughty One and I have already had this discussion. McConnel isn’t up for reelection ‘til ‘20. Collins is a Maine institution. Murkowski is both an Alaska institution and safe ‘til ‘20. All that can be targeted are RINO Congressmen, such as Peter King, and in blue states like New York all you’d get is another RINO, or a Democrat.

Of course if the Trump agenda now includes passing a massive illegal alien amnesty, then MAGA is dead and buried anyhow.

If Nick Ayers is serious , all he has to do is hire Steve Bannon or Gorka.

Natural selection is taking care of McSlime. Linda is now trying to triangulate to save his butt because he won’t have his crutch McSlime to carry him much longer. Flake is a dramatic one and out that will be a major drag on the GOPe, Trump and Bannon are making sure of that. Collins is feeling the heat as it looks as she will be leaving to run for Governor of her Bi-Polar State. Paul Nehlan is constantly hammering Ryan while Ryan can’t seem to figure out how to put the shovel down.

Sounds good to most if not all of Trump’s 62+ million voters!

Purge limited gov’t members so he can make more p elosi deals.. Who thinks this will result in less spending, boarder security and not lead to amnesty..
No one in their right mind. They have tried to bail out insurance companies to the tune of billions.
This move would guarantee amnesty. Trump was the president who thought Syrian refugees belong here.
So we could expect more of that. Good job.

They need to purge internally too, employees loyal to Obama and Obamaites.

I'll bet anyone that HR Mcmaster is already working on plans to have him fired.

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

Pence is not a free agent. He did what the President expected him to do.

Ryan and McConnell will be difficult to dislodge.

I had a gallstone that was difficult to dislodge. Hopefully this will be easier.
