For those of us who have been trying to awaken people to the true nature of Republicans in the senate, aka “the Decepticons”, the latest self-admissions are very welcome.
According to interviews conducted by The Hill, several Republican senators are now saying they just cannot be members of the Republican Party if they are forced to represent the interests of the base voter. These very specifically named Republicans have always been members of the UniParty in DC; however, now they are saying “populism” amid the commonsense, America First voting base is not going to be acceptable. The senators are openly warning that if putting American interests first is going to be demanded by the voters, these Republicans will just become Democrats. There is no reason for Americans to distrust the institutions the Republican senators support, and there will be no compromise or discussion.
What is making these Republican senators angrier is that who they consider to be intellectual and professional people are also demanding a more populist approach toward a government that represents the people. This is just not going to be allowed according to Lisa Murkowski, John Thune, John Cornyn and the other names outlined.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I’m having more ‘rational Republicans’ coming up to me and saying, ‘I just don’t know how long I can stay in this party,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). “Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.

The GOP has to shrink before it can grow. Expulsion of the RINO caste will make the party more attractive to many who now shun it - including people Democrats take for granted.
Considering this is from CTH, I will automatically call it “fake news”.
I don’t like Cornyn any more than Graham, but Cornyn knows he is toast if he does not remain an R.
This is Texas after all. Alaska may have room for a write in, but not Texas.
Murkowski has been corrupt for decades. Everybody knows it. She might as well be a Democrat. ................
We’re the extremist when we believe in the US Constitution, individual liberty, economic freedom and personal responsibility? What color is the sky where she is? The federal govt grew 40% in the past two years. Any hope to contain power and curtail spending is disappearing and they’re all to blame.
What took so long?
They vote that way anyway
RECALL VOTES !
You cannot leave what you never joined.
Wait! Those Senators are Republicans? I thought there was already a “D” after their names.
So I guess the masks are going to come off and the fake conservatives are finally going to admit they have been progressives this entire time. Or, the black-mail is getting more intense and instead of sabotaging the conservatives from within these Senators are going to be required to officially switch parties.
Of course, the quotes are from “The Hill” so this may just be a manipulation of the words of those mentioned or just wishful thinking on the part of the author.
Ha! Voting? That's rich. I think you made a funny.
And that would change her actions how?
My lawyer worked with Cornyn at some giant law firm in Dallas probably 20 something years ago.
Said he was a greaseball deep stater back then.
Cornyn used to post here as “silver gorilla” or something until he got revealed as a Pierre Delicto pushing himself as a presidential candidate.
Filthy turncoats. Of course, they waited till AFTER re-election to talk defection. I can’t stress enough the importance of primaries.
The RINOs are at an interesting inflection point. In nicer parlance, defecate or get off the "pot."
As one watches various versions of "walk away." those who rely on fooling the rubes but finding the rubes waking up are shortly to try to enroll with those fooling the other rubes.
Wow, this is GOOD news. I needed that. At last, they admit they are at heart Democrats. Party On... GOP. Let all those who depart raise their rainbow flag.
Bye.
Compassionate Republican.
Repeal 17th Amendment!
State legislatures even the Alaskan legislature can’t do worse!
I have been saying for quite some time that WE need to let the RNC/GOP join the WHIG Party on the Scrap Heap of History. Our REPUBLIC is in danger if we fail to make this happen.
