Trump cashed in on a ready made base of pissed off people who had no functional representation. Tea Party? Ron Paul supporters? White people tired of being demonized? Christians tired of being demonized? Men tired of being demonized? People with traditional, patriotic values tired of being mocked? People who lost their jobs due to unfair, not-so-free trade?

All those people needed a champion, that they got with Trump. As Trump distances himself from those people, he is going to lose more and more support. I don't understand why he can't see that. We have a saying about that in Texas:

Dance with the one that brung ya.

I think all pub congresspeople should get in a room and not leave until one person, mccarthy or another, has a majority vote.
Going onto the floor and nominate other can be done behind closed doors.
Bashing your OWN party on the floor is STUPID!!
Continuing to count votes in multiple ballots when it is known there is no majority is EFFING BRAINLESS.

I would go up there and bitchslap all of them, but am trying to get on the links these next two days.

Wait, are you suggesting he did all those things or said those things just to get votes and he’s not actually committed to them?

Listen, and understand! Matt Gaetz is out there! He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are not Speaker of the House!

Well, not exactly. He faithfully made good, or tirelessly TRIED to make good, on most of his campaign promises, like no other president in my lifetime. He seemed almost singularly focused on doing what he promised. Obviously a few exceptions, like the bump stock ban debacle, and obviously, failing to have Hillary arrested, happened, but for the most part, Trump did or tried to do what he promised. And a big disappointment, obviously, was his failure to drain the swamp. On that, I am sympathetic, because the swamp proved to be more resilient than Trump, and so many people he himself appointed went on to align with the swamp and stab Trump, and his supporters, in the stomach. Front stabbers.

It's after he was deposed that things started going wonky.

They ought to send all the Republicans home on unpaid suspension and replace them with Taxpaying Conservative Volunteer ADULTS. Just like replacing a striking worker with a scab. If these morons want to act like ten year olds in spite of the nation, **** them. Send them all home without pay of fire them and take their place with people like myself who would do the job gratis.

Matt wants it back and swamp creature Kevin refuses.
Well, McCarthy agreed to that, and the same 20 still refuse to vote for him, with at least 4 saying publicly they will NEVER vote for him no matter what. At this point I'm embarrassed to be a Republican. The Dems are sitting back laughing at this mess while Republicans bicker among themselves and nothing gets done.
