He needs to go on the warpath and get RINO’s tossed out of office, and say so.


History shows us 90% of incumbents will win reelection. The problem is much of the GOP base thinks their guy is great and it’s the other “RINOs” who are the problem.

Well said. The folks in Paul Ryan’s district think he’s great. He beat Paul Nehlen by seventy percentage points in the GOP primary last August.

“History shows us 90% of incumbents will win reelection. The problem is much of the GOP base thinks their guy is great and it’s the other “RINOs” who are the problem.”

True. These RINO incumbants usually have huge war chests from their real bosses, the lobbyists. Plus their fellow swamp creatures in GOPe leadership can throw them all kinds of sweeteners, as needed, to take back to their constituents.

However, all is not lost. Their real bosses, the lobbyists, expected results in the way of signed legislation that benifits their special interest, and have paid them bundles of cash to produce it - but this is not happening.

Hillary Clinton was meant to be POTUS, not Trump, and at this point, she was supposed to be getting carpal tunnel syndrome from signing legislation drafted of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists and for the lobbyists.

As soon as Trump won the election, the swamp machinery came grinding to a halt, because - what is the point of the lobbyists bribing legislators, and the legislators passing their bills, if there is no swamp POTUS to sign them?

So, the entire legislative branch has gone off offense and onto defense - obstruction, obstruction, obstruction.

The good news is that although they are blocking Trump’s MAGA agenda, Trump is also blocking their Swamp agenda Big League.

I think the lobbyists have largely pulled their stakes and gone away.

How easy will it be for the RINOs to ignore the interests of their constituents and do their swamp deals without the lobbyist financed war chests?

I think we will start to see many of them have a “come to Jesus” moment and suddenly be willing to actually represent the interests of their constituents.

Anyway, Trump acts like he has something up his sleeve, and this is all I can think of.

Yup.

Trump’s job isn’t to toss out the idiot that the GOP voter seems too stupid and or lazy to remove themselves.

Like these RINOs just appeared in those seats on their own.

Let us hope that this was a learned behavior, the result of growing up politically in a permanently gridlocked Congress where everyone else was the fault.

Let us hope that Trump can break that habit by exposing people to their own Congressman's intransigence in supporting their constituents' wishes.
