I have been posting the retirements form the House by Republican’s for months…
Donald Trump walked on stage to surprise of ALL of us….
He promised to make America”Great’…
The guy became the President…
Republicans had a majority in the House and Senate…
Good?
Ah?
Constant gaffs….Untruths…Ineptness….
Illegalities to boot….
While Donald Trump marvelled in the spotlight?
And Republican Party member’s had his back in public?
Some where NOT happy….
Then came the 2018 Midterm elections…
Republican House embers saw a Democratic ‘wave’ wash out ten’s of their fellow GOPer’s from office….
One would think Donald Trump would try bro reach out to his remaining GOP House members?
Nope…
So?
More Republican House lawmakers are throwing in the towel and leaving…
“We’re here for a purpose — and it’s not this petty, childish b——t,” [Rep. Paul ] Mitchell, 62, [R-Mich] said in an interview in early September. Pence’s office declined to comment.
Mitchell is among a growing list of House Republicans — 18 to date — who have announced plans to resign, retire or run for another office, part of a snowballing exodus that many Republicans fear is imperiling their chances of regaining control of the House in the 2020 elections.
And the problem for the GOP is bigger than retirements. Since Trump’s inauguration, a Washington Post analysis shows, nearly 40 percent of the 241 Republicans who were in office in January 2017 are gone or leaving because of election losses, retirements including former House speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.), and some, such as Mitchell, who are simply quitting in disgust.
The vast turnover is a reminder of just how much Trump has remade the GOP — and of the purge of those who dare to oppose him. Former congressman Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) lost his June 2018 primary after challenging Trump; he’s now a Republican presidential candidate. Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.), the only Republican to accuse Trump of impeachable acts, quit the GOP in July citing the “partisan death spiral.” His political future is uncertain….
