Don’t forget that MOST of these RINOS we rid ourselves of rode in on the Tea Party wave and became RINOS very quickly after entering THE SWAMP!!!! Mia Love was one right off hand that became a HUGE disappointment!!! I have NO FAITH any longer on who we send to DC, we may have rid ourselves of RINOS however I wouldn’t count on replacements NOT becoming RINOS shortly after entering DC!!! We NEED term limits it is the ONLY way to fix this corruption and K-Street payoffs, these BASTARDS will never vote for term limits and without them our republic will always be corrupt!!!
LS: Good to see others were thinking of you early on in this thread.
Yes, losing the House was bad, very bad. But it did several things I am only now becoming aware of:
1. Threw Ryan out as Speaker-in-Name-Only. Without his opposition to Trump, the remaining repubbies have eliminated a major opponent.
2. McConnell is (somewhat) now cowed, and SC’s McCain-fiend (er, friend) Graham is no longer locked in McCain’s shadow as a easy-interview, an easy enemy-of-Trump in front of the cameras.
3. Pelosi’s extremism is visible in all its hypocrisy. As is Cumming’s, Water’s, Nadler’s, AOC’s, hijab’s, and the rest.
4. Ryan - to CREATE the November 2018 blue wave! - had to encourage dozens of older RINO’s to “retire” (er, quit) so democrats were NOT running against incumbents. That, along with hundreds of thousands of illegal and after-the-election votes in California, enabled Pelosi to rise.
But it also removed those RINO-GROPElites from office!
