| Voters 'tasting betrayal' by swamp-dwelling Republicans |
| 2017-08-29 |
| [American Thinker] Republican voters are "tasting betrayal" at the hands of swamp-dwelling Republicans who are failing to act on the Trump agenda ‐ and their own promises. In a scathing column at breitbart.com, Brent Bozell contends that the Republican party is "systematically committing suicide": They were given everything.In fairness to Republicans, it takes only a handful of McCains and Murkowskis in the Senate, siding with obstructionist Democrats, to betray the party's promises, but Republicans were elected to get results, not to find excuses. Citing the Obamacare repeal fiasco and the false starts on tax reform, Bozell contends that the Republicans have accomplished "absolutely nothing" on either front: There is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Put them together. They are the swamp. Bozell adds that, just as the Republicans were given the "power to enact the agenda" they have promised for eight years, they also "now own the federal government, in toto." Obamacare, spending, taxes, "all the graft, all the waste" ‐ it's all theirs. |

| #7 The Real fight is in the Primary Season and this will be a tough fight against the entrenched RINOs... If that fails, then Next Election. Electing the Other Party is a suicide gambit: you saw what they did with a majority. |

| #3 With a few notable exceptions, the attitudes and actions of the congressional membership (either party) likely reflect those of it's leadership. If the powerful chairman is having sushi, the rank and file will probably all be giving sushi a hard look. Donald Trump is an outsider, an outsider who hires and sometimes fires outsiders. He tends to surround himself with accomplished senior military and civilian business leaders. This in itself is an anathema to the establishment order. Fraternities of the like-minded; a dynamic that appears to evolve when the only one restricted by term-limits is the president. Congress (again both parties) will likely confront President Trump at nearly every turn. He calls them the indolent, do-nothing swamp creatures that we all know them to be. If all he accomplishes in eight years is the marginalization of the Clintons, a Supreme Court justice or two, the pardoning of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and the down-sizing of big gov't, I'll be well pleased. |

| #2 This is government welfare. These politicians are simply doing what they do best, nothing. |

| #1 Allow me to say that I have written down the names of the Republicans I will vote against. I know who they are and I want them gone.I want them out on the street looking for a new job. I want them replaced. But, mostly, I want to see them unemployed. I think it can and will be done. |
