We prayed for a man like Donald Trump because the GOPe was our enemy. Calling them spineless avoids the issue. They are our enemy. They aren’t merely timid fellow travelers of ours. They are fellow travelers of the Leftists.

I recently heard Larry Elder say on his show that Thomas Sowell once said that Republicans’ favorite exercise is running for the hills. You can see that he was right.

Perhaps once the voter rolls are cleaned up under Trump with non-citizen, dead, and double voters eliminated, maybe the GOP will grow some backbone.

Every single damn Republican who plays this cowardly game with the media needs to get the message: Stand up and support your leader like men and women. If you have issues, tell the administration, not the fake news media. If you care about the camera lights and staying on the DC cocktail party circuit more than you care about your country, consider yourselves primaried out. We’re taking names and will remember in November. I’d rather be stabbed in the front than stabbed in the back.

A lot of these gutless or Uniparty GOPers are going to be MIA in 2018 as they are swept from office by a combination of disgusted Trump base voters and the Marxist/Socialist Democrats. And when the carnage is over the GOP will blame Trump rather than themselves.

Like we rallied for trump, come election time these nimrods need to be shown the door. Im sick of hearing about Trump and the russians when we all know bill hillary and podesta were the ones dealing with the Russians and making billions at our expense. All the republicans who sit quietly need to go on election day

We need to let our anger fuel our efforts to rid ourselves of these traitors in the 2018 primaries and election.

They were hoping the summer White House would be reopening next weekend at Walker Point in Kennebunkport.

No, they wanted Hillary to win. They prefer a Democrat in the WH so they don't have to actually produce any results, and have someone else to blame. Then the can use the threat of a Democrat WH and congress to scare us into voting for them. Now they want Trump to lose in 2020 so thing can go back to "normal".

[Defiant]

The Republicans could unite behind Trump and add to their majorities, with a 60 vote majority in the Senate. Instead they suck up to the Democrats, and they court a bloodbath in 2018 as a result.

Move the Capitol. Senate to Detroit. House to South Side/Chicago. That would solve many issues. No need for term limits.

[Ray76]

They’re all tepid.

Where the hell are all the Republicans on Capitol Hill?

Lotsa Lackacajones going around in DC.
