Donald J. Trump
Now the minority is doing what Harry Reid did all by himself for a decade. But since they get to control the narrative, they always get to tell America the Republicans are obstructionists.
Honestly Willie, I'm with Dave on this one. First it was we just need to get control of the House and we can defund Obamacare. That didn't happen. Then they get control of the Senate...nothing happens. Now they have the Presidency and they still can't get it done. Absolutely unbelievable. In the meantime, the Middle Class continues to take it up the behind. We are in the process of moving out of California. My wife accepted a buyout package and fortunately they threw in 6 months of health care insurance. Had they not, we would have been looking at $14k to $35k for insurance (to get a plan similar to her corporate plan, it would have been in the $20k-$25k range). This is Obama's "affordable" health plan at its finest! And yet we have these morons on these boards that just cheer everything Democrats do like it's some kind of a stupid ball game. It's not. People's livelihood are depending on this. I can't imagine a Middle Class family in SF having to pay a median rent of $3400 for a one bedroom apartment and then having to dole out another $14k (the bare minimum which essentially isn't going to be used unless you have a major catastrophe) for health insurance. That's a net amount of just under $55k and the median income is $86k gross. After tax, they barely have a pot to piss in. And these morons here cheer it?! Of course CA is 47th in Education so I guess I should be surprised (but they'll still brag about how prosperous the state is). You seriously can't make this shit up. I cannot wait to get out of this Godforsaken state. The best part about it is we can rent out our house for close to $4k. So some stupid hipster Liberal can pay our rent/mortgage at our new locale.
Tim, I'm not happy with Republicans, but they're still 10,000 percent better than the Democrats. At least there are some Republicans trying to honor their promises and do the right thing, is there even one democrat in DC doing such? Is there ever one? They're a one trick pony, bigger government creating more professional victims.
And you can't throw the Presidency in there either, Trump is trying too.
As for CA, I live in CT so I have my own political handicap to overcome, godspeed

All I can say Willie is it's been 6 months and I haven't seen one major thing get passed that I can lay my head on. I mean seriously, just give me one thing so I can say "well at least they passed X". The Dems were worse considering they had a Super Majority and sat around bickering when they could have passed anything they wanted. I just don't think there's any excuse for it. Get on the same fucking page on something (doesn't have to just be health care). They're blowing it and these opportunities don't come around that often. They're moving at the pace of a turtle on everything. They should stop worrying about the fucking press. The people that mattered most (those in the battleground states) gave them their blessing, and yet they're still worrying about optics. It's like they believe the Bullshit being bandied about by the press themselves. They need to shut off the noise and do what they were put there to do. The voters couldn't have done any more for them. Saying it could be worse, and we could have had Clinton, really doesn't cut it any more. It's time for some action.
Gentlemen, my response is that most Republicans are trying to deliver on the promises the party made. The overwhelmingly vast majority of Congressmen and 94% of the Senators.
The problem is it only takes 3 Senators, 6% of Republicans in the Senate, to prevent anything from happening.
Meanwhile the Democrats continue to march in lockstep 100% of the time, they embrace failure because losers in life vote democratic by a very wide margin.
So I can't hold the actions a 3 Senators against the whole Republican party.
Fair analysis but slightly flawed when you say only 6% are the problem.
McVain has a hot date lined up with the dude in Dave's avatar, Murkowski should be replaced by Palin and I have no idea what the hell voters see in Collins.
Anyway, it's virtually impossible to identify the real problem RINOs until it matters. A lot of them make deals to pump up their "conservative cred" so as not to get trashed by their constituents come election time. For example, McConnell may allow a RINO like Linda Graham to vote 'yes' on Obamacare repeal ONLY if he already has the votes. If not, then Linda must fall on the sword for the corrupt establishment scoundrels. It just goes to show you ALL OF THEM have been in power for far too long.
Repeal the 17th Amendment and limit Senators to one full term, maybe two. In the meantime, PRIMARY as many RINOs as possible!
DRAIN THE SWAMP!
