WASHINGTON (AP) It's just a trickle now, but some Republicans are urging people to back GOP congressional candidates because they'd constrain Hillary Clinton's agenda should she be elected president this November.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., facing a competitive re-election fight, unveiled a video this week promising to "act as a check, not a rubber stamp," if Clinton wins the White House.
In fundraising emails in recent weeks, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., GOP operative Karl Rove and a Colorado lawmaker battling for his seat made similar appeals.

"America cannot afford an unchecked Hillary Clinton presidency," Karl Rove wrote. "If she wins, we will need a strong Republican House to defend against her radical liberal agenda."

Republican consultant Josh Holmes, former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said asking voters to use a GOP Congress to restrain Clinton is a smart, essential tactic. "It's particularly effective this cycle because of the intense distrust of Hillary Clinton," said Holmes.

Ryan added that if Hillary Clinton wins the White House, a Republican Congress is needed to be a check on her.

Yeah, they did such a bang up job blocking the Obama agenda.
These cucks have been a rubberstamp for the Kenyanesian Usurper.
Why would we believe they would do anything different with illary?
Song of the day: We Won’t Get Fooled Again...
The fly on Hellary’s face has more honor than all you puke RINO’s. You stick your wet fingers in the air to see which way the political winds blow. Gutless wonders All. Trump will OWN you weasels when he becomes president.
CNBC was pushing this about an hour ago.
They’re saying Paul Ryan has written DJT off, that he’s preparing for a Hillary Presidency, that he’s trying to make sure “she doesn’t have a blank check in Congress” when she takes office.
Make of it what you will. The quote came from Walter Isaacson.
The only “backing” I’m going to give them is a swift kick in the ass.
No.. I think they all showed what they want to do with Clinton’s agenda when they started abandoning ship..
“Some Republicans” is not ENOUGH.
Sorry girls and boys, but being a traitor has consequences.
Here’s to hoping y’all get the blowback you’ve got coming to you...
We do need Republicans in Congress to pass the Trump agenda. That some of these people are so dumb that they pitch their campaigns on an assumption that we lose what is certainly the most important office, says a lot about a major problem—the easily intimidated Republican office holder.

McCain will support Hillary’s open borders. He will also go along with her Scotus appointments. That will be the end of our Republic. So he will not get my vote. Trump will get my vote. FUJM.
Not buying it.
HORSEHOCKEY!
These people would obligingly do whatever Hillary wants.
F*ck ‘em.
They think they are playing the game with the democrats. Instead, the democrats got them to sign their own political death warrants.
I read that Hiilary is going to impose a 25% tax on new guns. The only thing that stands in her way is the Congressional GOP. I dont think there is any doubt the GOP would block that if they have a majority. But if they are in the minority, I am pretty sure it will pass.
No.
I’m going to vote you rat traitors out.
Moreover, McCain is lying because he's never stopped a radical liberal judge from being nominated by a Democrat. A far-left Supreme Court trumps all GOP legislation at all levels., making GOP lawmakers obsolete.
