You just don't get it, do you?Just so it doesn't hurt you, right? I mean ---- let's take it all and then we can get our piece of their money.Why are billionaires so insistent on kicking millions of people off their insurance? Is it we've got ours and to hell with everyone else? I'd like to see tax reform that sticks it to these billionaires. See what they think about that.
Maybe these billionaires need a little poetic justice. They want something done. Apparently they don't care what it is. They have no qualms about kicking people off of their insurance yet I will bet they will howl if their ox gets gored.
These people were elected to exercise a specific agenda. They promised they would, and so they got the votes. and the chance
Now, we find out that, in fact, they are just more of the problem. They aren't interested in the agenda - only in feathering their own nest - in propagating Washington power and control.
So, just like the Democrats, the Republican voter is rejecting the "business as usual" professional politicians. The turnover in Congress, while it may or may not result in a majority party change, is going to be massive. Republican primaries, in particular, are going to be bruising and ugly. Democrats don't seem to be interested in changing their platform, and will probably stick with their failed agenda. They will miss an excellent opportunity to return to relevance.
But, in the end, the people will get exactly what they want.
I agree with Spare. Many of these Repubs are going to get an opponent in the primary. People are bolstered by Trump winning the Presidency, as it shows that if enough people get pissed off, the do nothing politicians are in trouble.
Where the problem lies is---------> We KNOW the rino's do NOT want a conservative to win anything. In states where the Democrat has little chance, the Democrats HELP the rino. So in essence, it is 2 v 1, with the 2 having all the cash.
CONSIDER-----------> When John Mcain ran for re-election in AZ, who do you think the Democrats wanted to win the primary, Mcain or Kelli Ward? If you look it up, the ONLY times Democrats didn't like John Mcain, was when he wanted to have military action, and when he ran against Obama! Besides that, the Democrats can USUALLY count on him to vote with them!
So in essence, in states with OPEN PRIMARY's that are heavily republican, who the Democratic opponent is, is not as important to Democrats as who the Republican candidate is. This is exactly how Thad Cochran got RE-ELECTED being rino, and his conservative opponent got defeated in the primary. The Democrats actually RAN ADS to support Thad Cochran in the primary!
So when anyone tells you that Republicans control the senate, they are just using semantics. You know who Murkowski is? Do you know who Collins is? Well, guess who was the single, LARGEST donor to BOTH of their campaigns........and if you don't believe me, look it up, it is public record. It was the TEACHERS UNION! In fact, Murkowski did NOT even win the Republican primary, the conservative did. So what did the Teachers union and Democrats do? They put up the money for her to run as an independent! They thought it would split the vote enough to get a Democrat in. And what happened? Murkowski won, BARELY.........over her Republican, CONSERVATIVE opponent, with the Democrat coming in a distant 3rd. This is all public record if you doubt me!
So both Democrats, AND Rino's are all about the swamp, or whatever you Democrats want to call it. The reason nothing can get done, even with the Repubs controlling both houses, and the Presidency is simple----------> Some Republicans in office are REALLY Democrats, but know they can not get elected proclaiming the truth. All you need do is LOOK, and you know what I am telling you is 100% true. Does anyone on this board think that the Repubs supported Cruz? How about Paul? Lee from Utah anyone? THEY DIDN'T, they hate them, because they are NOT for the swamp! The closest thing to them on the Democratic side is Mansion, and there are rumblings that Shumer wants him to have a primary opponent!
And now you KNOW why BOTH sides hate Trump! Suppose for an instant, taxes are cut, job growth soars, and tax receipts INCREASE. What is the 1st thing MOST thinking Americans are going to say to themselves? Why did it take a relative outsider to do this. What took so long? It happened before under Reagan, and as history shows, even 35% of the Democrats voted to get him re-elected. Washington can NOT have a repeat of this, or they LOSE THEIR POWER! In other words, they like each other and their power, MORE than they like us, or doing what is best for America!
Compliance with the deal isn't the issue .... though, I would maintain that they are not (take a look at their growth in missile technology).He's about to dump the Iran deal into the lap of Congressional Republicans. A done deal that the Iranians are living up to.Trump is doing a great job. By handing it to Congress, he is forcing a compromise.
Republicans do not want to have to cast votes in support of the Iran deal. They don't want it on their agenda. Trump is fucking over the people who are going to decide whether to let him be impeached or not.
The "deal" is horrendous, and one-sided. It was a total capitulation by the Obama regime in order to get something, anything, on the record. This bolstered Obama's "legacy" (boy, is that a rapidly deflating balloon) and supposedly bolstered Hillary's foreign policy credentials.
We know how well that worked ---- for both of them.
The deal is garbage - and needs to go.
