Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel warned fellow Republicans that voters “are going to hold us accountable” if “we do not keep the campaign promises that were made,” during an interview Wednesday on “The Laura Ingraham Show.”
McDaniel predicted many Americans would be frustrated by the news a downpayment to start construction of the border wall would be dropped from a must-pass spending bill in Congress this week. Noting that building the border wall was “front and center” in Trump’s 2016 campaign, the RNC chair insisted that “our voters are going to expect us to act on it.”
“I know that our voters are going to hold us accountable in 2018 if we do not keep the campaign promises that we made,” McDaniel said. “And so, when you get to Washington, sometimes you forget what was said outside. And it’s important that we bring that back to Washington and let them hear what the voters expect of this government and this president.”
LifeZette editor-in-chief Laura Ingraham referred to reports of GOP leaders “sitting behind closed doors” and laughing at the prospect of building the wall, to which McDaniel warned those lawmakers are “going to lose the trust of our base.”

Absolutely. If this continues, the RINOs can expect to be primaried by patriots who aren’t afraid to do what the people elected them for.
yer GD right...
We better start building up the CONSERVATIVE party
Better believe it.
No wall no vote.
“RNC Chair: Base Will Walk if We Don’t Build Border Wall”
Yes, I will. See my tagline.
He’s wrong.
We’ll run, not walk...................
Darn Never Trumpers! Go back to DU!

Absolutely. We are watching. We The People. We The Voters. We the People YOU work for.
She certainly seems to be an upgrade from Rancid Prius.
Yeah, but where are we going to walk to?
But she brings to mind a larger point about the Republican Party.
They haven’t changed. Just cause Trump was elected; the GOP-e still remains The Stupid Party.
Someone put it this way a few days ago...
The Republicans hold the House, the Senate,the White House and now even the Supreme Court.
Yet the Democrats still hold the power.
One of the things the left does get about the whole 2016 campaign - its not about a cult of personality its about love of the country. The wall is a huge symbol of keeping faith with the America people.
A straight forward tangible solution demanded by and promised to the America citizen. If this cannot be done we now can be certain we are ruled by tyrannical oligarchs.
No wall - no trust - no legitimate government - revolution soon - we're pissed.
The money was appropriated what like back in 2006 - 2007 ish
Build the wall now and start ignoring activist judges president Trump pretty much that simple - perhaps not easy
We need a list of wobbly and cowardly and fence-sitting Republicans so we can plan now for the primary election process.
I don't know much about Ronna Romney McDaniel...other than she appears to be the smartest Republican in America right now.
The people who pay for the campaigns don’t want a wall.
Voters are products, not consumers. The big donors are the customers. They don’t want a wall, because it will make their margins shrink.
Let's see what Trump really promised.
Trump has vowed to force Mexico to pay for the border wall and said Tuesday on MSNBC that the hefty $8 billion price tag “is a tiny fraction of the money that we lose with Mexico” on trade.
“The wall is probably $8 billion, which is a tiny fraction of the money that we lose with Mexico. We lose a tremendous amount of trade deficits. We have a trade deficit with Mexico that is astronomical, much bigger than that. We will get — and I say it also is also part of my plan — Mexico is going to play for the wall,” he said.
Trump: Border wall will cost $8 billion( CNN ^ | Tue February 9, 2016 | By Jeremy Diamond, CNN Posted on 2/9/2016 here)
Not congress, not deficits but Mexico.
Suggestion : Tell congress to pass a bill cutting funding from sanctuary cities, etc, with the $$$ going to pay the Wall.
If it’s not in there, Trump shouldn’t sign it or he’s accountable too.
I think you answered your own question.
Sit home and default to the Dems.
That seemed to be what happened in 2008 and 2012. If we Repubs had something besides McCain or Mitt - we could have avoided One Big Ass Mistake America.
Please tell me there is no family relation to Magik Mormon Romeny.
Not everyone cares as much as you.
I can see a lot of Rs staying home with indifference if the wall isn’t built and other things we were promised don’t happen.
