The Can't-Do Republicans

Short, sweet and on topic. Now is there any chance the Republicans will give the base a reason to pull for the R's in November.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They would rather stop Trump from shutting down the Cheap Labor Express and restoring the rule of law than win.

“Republicans are the party that says, ‘Government doesn’t work’, then they get elected and prove it.” - P.J. O’Rourke

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Money quote:

Here's the difference between the two parties. For the past eight years, the
GOP has been the party that begins each conversation with, "This is why we
can't do it." The Democrats begin theirs with, "This is how we'll get it done."

[Trumpnado2016]

The GOP-e knows the easiest way to get rid of POTUS is to roll over and let the DemoRATS sweep into the majority. Then they will sit back and blame their loss on Trump.

[Mark17]

Now is there any chance the Republicans will give the base a reason to pull for the R's in November.

No, they won’t. They are on the same side as the rats. The GOPe, want to impeach Trump too. I was just a lowly enlisted guy, but even I could figure that out. I am becoming more and more convinced, that either the Army will have to step in, and change it, or millions of peasants will have to come over the hill, with their pitch forks.

Republicants.

If the GOP doesn’t tee up Watergate 2.0 they deserve to not only lose in November but die as a party. There will be a new Conservative party arise and these corrupt place holders will be chasing ambulances.

[Louis Foxwell]

Trump is working to rebuild the party from the ground up. The GOPe will be dead after the midterms and a gang of Trump Republicans will drain the swamp.

[blueplum]

At this point, they will certainly lose the House and quite possibly the Senate. Worse, they've so botched their opportunity that only they can save themselves now.

Republican seatwarmers and fairweather promisebreakers won't have to worry as much about losing seats to Dems as they will about fresh Republican blood challenging their places. Dems are the party that was, now they're just a front for antifa - and the young generation knows it.

[Nifster]

I agree with what needs to be done

Do not agree that the house will be lost

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I’ll tell ya something short & sweet. Get rid of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell right now!!! Force John McCain to resign...he is no longer representing the voters and citizens of Arizona. If McCain cannot be present to vote in the Senate, because of his illness, he should do the right thing and resign immediately.

POTUS, Trump will have a massive political rally in Washington, Michigan this coming Saturday. He should use that opportunity to rally the Trump base to rid the the Republican Party of its RINOs & Establishment low life, like Ryan & McConnell. The Trumpies out there are waiting for the boss to take care of business and get rid of the “Deadbeat Never Trumpers”. Either you are 100% with & behind Trump in support and loyalty or, get out of the party and become a Democrat Party, Low Life, America Hater, Traitor & Turncoat!!! Actions speak volumes louder that glowing words!!! Go Trumpie,...MAGA!!!

6. Deliver real personal tax cuts. What they came up with last year rewarded big business nicely while excusing nearly 50 percent of Americans from the responsibility of paying taxes altogether. Everyone else was given a small amount of relief. Those were your voters, GOP.

Yup.

4 winners and 4 losers from the Republican tax bill

But look on the bright side, companies that hate Trump, hate Conservatives, hate Christians and Israel were handed hundreds of Billions in tax cuts, while for millions of individuals and middle class families, our taxes have gone up due to the loss or capping of deductions and the elimination of the personal exemption.

[Be Careful]

Not Can’t Do....it’s Won’t Do

[Rome2000]

I still have mega high medical insurance deductibles from Obamacare that the GOP failed to repeal, and a giant tax increase that the shylocks Cohn and Mnuchin orchestrated.

Oh, and Hillary and the Klintoon and Obama crime families have still not been locked up, and the GOP surrendered control of DOJ back to the communists.

FUBAR

[MSF BU]

Automation is making the cheap labor express irrelevant. The goal is now to dilute the Americans who are here with new arrivals that really have no special regard for the country.

[Paine in the Neck]

The GOP has been trying to give the American people a reason to relegate them to the dustbin of history since Geo. Herbert ran the Reagan Revolution into the ditch. If it wasn't for the malignant bolsheviks in the ‘Rat party saving their butts, they'd be there now.

[Lurkinanloomin]

That was always the goal.
Steal the country from the citizens by flooding it with foreigners.
It was implemented during the George H.W. Bush administration and has continued through Clinton, W and Obama.

Great post, I just sent this to the RNC:
Dear RNC,

I am writing this in the faint hope that somebody in the organization who actually cares about what I and many of my fellow Republicans perceive and believe about the GOP may actually read it and share it with others that could engender a change for the better. This letter is partially triggered by the repeated calls I have received from the RNC lately and partly because of the chord this article struck with me today:

“The Can’t-Do Republicans”, Brent Bozell and Tim Graham, Townhall 27 April 2018

It pretty much exactly mirrors my views on what has been happening.

I have been what is now being called a conservative Republican since I was 13, at which time I went door to door for Donald Riegle, who was the first betrayer of my trust when he soon switched to the Dems. I was active in the party for many years, including donating to the RNC, state party, and candidates (not a lot, I have never had much), was a precinct delegate, went to state conventions and events, was county sign chairman one year AND ALWAYS VOTED Republican.

And except for Reagan, the ones that won immediately went to Washington and adopted the culture and accepted the power structure, and went along with the Dems to sell us out. Eventually I got so fed up that I quit donating to the party and quit participating. I do donate directly to the candidates I support, including President Trump and Rep Bergman.

I will not participate in the Party or donate to the RNC again unless they change, and the article pretty much gets it right.

I also believe that the GOP is in danger of disaffected members and conservative independents forming a viable 3rd party in desperation.

Thanks for listening.

Hey, I disagree we can sit back and not help the Pubs have good candidates... President Trump is busy and needs us to take some ‘sponsibility in elections...Agree that Pubs in Congress need to ask Ryan and McConnell to step aside...but we shouldn’t look to the president to lead us...we should be working to have good people run for office...or we’re just like the ppl on the left who some like to call sheeple...

Also, knowing what the Dems’ leaders have said... how can we think turning Congress over to them is a good idea...and how do Pubs on these news websites rationalize not even accepting that Pubs could win in Nov...we need to understand we’ll have a lame duck president...if he doesn’t get removed...if Dems win
