It’s why they lost the House.

Republican legislators have hidden their influence, purposefully disguising a weak president with little clout on Capitol Hill while also preserving party unity.

But they're not. The RINOs have effectively destroyed the GOP. President Trump may as well just form The America Party at this point - with a lion for a mascot.

This is not news to any conservatives. In fact, this is one of the main reasons that Trump was elected in the first place: the republicans are no longer a conservative political party anymore. They are socialist lite. Just because they have impeded The President on some issues, he has successfully implemented Trumpist policy on many fronts. We have a thriving economy because of his economic plan, renegotiated trade deals, 500,000 new manufacturing jobs in just 2 years, stronger military, and much, much more. After Trump is gone there will be no going back to the old and dusty socialism lite. The current Gope will cease to exist. Make no mistake, President Trump has altered the political landscape for good.

"But virtually all of his confirmed judges have been standard conservatives”

The Horror!

The most obvious ploy is letting RATs get away with delaying his nominations . McConnell could have changed the rules or at least had a recess so that recess appointments could have been put into place.

How Republicans Erased Trumpism>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wishful thinking.

The populist movement is here to stay, whether PDJT is in office or not.

We have a long line of others in line for the prize, witness Starbucks Coffeeman Howard Shultz, who is now realizing that he is a populist. It would not surprise me if he eventually becomes a Republican.

Sorry NY Slimes! The GOP is being remade. And McConnell? He’s got to go!

It’s called the uniparty for a reason.

George Washington was prescient.

Trumpism is here and will grow.

the GOP backstabbed the voters, the ELECTED PRESIDENT,
and lied and lied and delayed .... until
Ryan and his soapy RINOs DELIBERATELY lost the House.

GOP = backstabbing liars who hate America

the people erasing Trumpism are the OWNERS of Congress. The folks that employ an army of K St. lobbyists who literally, by hook or by crook, by lead or silver, bend and twist the ears and mouths on Capitol Hill to do the job for which they were bought.

elections serve only to layer a veneer of legitimacy on the process. It goes on only as long as We the People continue to let it

Congress needs to be moved to its home districts where they can meet electronically. the 17th ammendment needs to go.

“Such “negative” agenda-setting leaves little trace; without a vote, it becomes difficult for opponents or voters to identify or understand what happened.”

Trump supporters DO understand what happened. This is more NYT “opinion from within the elite bubble.”

This is what we get when we vote ‘lesser of two evils’ we get the evil either way.

Paul Ryan betrayed conservatives twice before breakfast and then all day thereafter every day he was in the House of Representatives. He despised President Trump and his entire agenda was to injure our president. He didn’t fool anybody. The Congressional Republicans don’t fool us either. We will hold them accountable in primaries.

Many Congressional Republicans are very supportive of the Chamber of Commerce. They have a desire for illegal aliens to use for cheap labor. These workers are paid such low wages that they then must have their basic needs subsidized by American taxpayers. This is wrong.

The bottom line is that Republicans have a constituent problem. I read on twitter the other day, that people are identifying as the MAGA Party. Republicans better get their shite solidly in support of a Trump.

A NYT wishful thinking opinion piece to minimize the success of Trump policies. Time for our side to stop accepting every premise that the MSM puts forth. We post these articles then start a discussion around their points. Not a winning strategy.

Another Liberal-Left attempt to weaken Trump and divide Trump and the party.

What the grass roots of the GOP has to always remember is that “the party” is not the GOP legislators in Washington D.C., it is they the grass roots GOP voters. They will keep “the GOP” and their GOP President, Trump, together; as long as THEY don’t let outfits lije the NYSlimes divide them.

Republican leaders in Congress skillfully used a variety of tactics to minimize the president’s influence and maximize their own control over public policy.....

And how did that work out for them? They lost the house and many are gone.

Rats put party over country. Repubs put chamber of commerce over country.

Gee, that’s the reason Republicans lost 40 seats in the House.
