Remember when John McCain ran for President in 2008 and was beaten soundly by Barack Obama, a community organizer who had never held a job in all his life? About the only thing McCain did right was pick Sarah Palin for his Vice President running mate. Even then McCain wasn’t smart enough to let Palin campaign like she wanted to, so McCain lost.
Remember when Republicans were hollering and screaming that they couldn’t do anything because Democrats held the Senate, the House and The Presidency? Remember when voters gave Republicans the House, but they still complained Democrats held the Senate and the Presidency so they couldn’t do anything? Then voters gave the Republicans the Senate as well as the House. But Democrats held the Presidency so Republicans said they still couldn’t do anything. Then, in 2015 when the Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner, was “compromising” with Democrats instead of working with consulting conservative Republicans, the Freedom Caucus forced Boehner to resign as Speaker of the House. Only thing was the establishment Republicans selected Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House. Ryan immediately began “compromising” with Democrats instead of consulting with conservative Republicans-just like Boehner.
Remember in 2016 when all those establishment Republicans ran for President, Lindsey Graham included? The voters were fed up with “establishment” Republicans, often called RINOs (Republican in Name Only), and elected Donald J. Trump as President. Establishment Republicans fought Trump all the way through the Primary, through the elections when Trump soundly beat Hillary Clinton. They even fought all the way to Trump’s inauguration, trying to pull some dirty trick to keep Trump from being sworn in.
All in all, Republicans at every level in Federal, State and Local governments all across the USA have defeated 1,043 Democrats and taken control of the US House, the US Senate and the US President. And what do the establishment Republicans still want to do? They want to “compromise” with the Democrats instead of working with the Freedom Caucus.
And what do Democrats stand for? Abortion. Gun Control. Appointing activist judges. Raising taxes. Spending money foolishly. Bringing in all those illegal aliens, even the violent criminals, and putting them on Welfare. Same sex marriage. Grown men taking showers with little girls. It goes on and on. Why the establishment Republicans want to compromise with Democrats instead of conservative Republicans is beyond me.
Let’s look at some specifics.
