Retiring GOP lawmakers cut loose on Trump
The Hill ^ | 08Arp18 | Melanie Zanona

Posted on 04/09/2018 3:06:58 AM PDT by qaz123

Few Republicans in Washington are willing to go head-to-head with President Trump, but there is one band of GOP members willing to stand up to the leader of their own party: lawmakers who have announced their retirements.

While it’s not uncommon for members to feel far more liberated on their way out the door, it has taken on a whole new meaning in the Trump era, where lawmakers are confronted daily by a never-ending stream of White House controversies.

Retiring GOP lawmakers unload on Trump and they interview two RINOs from Pennsylvania, who are probably going to lose due to redistricting anyway.

But Dent said he has grown increasingly frustrated that his criticisms of Trump don’t seem to earn him points with either side of the aisle: conservatives say he is betraying the party, while liberals say Dent’s condemnation doesn’t go far enough.....that about sums it up, doesn't it. The clown has no friends. Figures he can't ride the gravy train much longer and will actually have to produce. And, with all his insults, won't get any support form the President in his re-election bid, anyway. So, go away a bitter quitter and start selling insurance in Pennsylvania.

Extreme number of retirements = the corrupt & pedophiles getting out of Dodge.

White House controversies? Do these guys have clue that Trump was elected? That his approval rating t is now at 47%

While Congress has an approval rating of 17%, they attack Trump? These guys are idiots

Con men have a saying. Never ever ever give up the con. These guys leaving retiring? I wonder how many have skeletons in their closets.

John McCain though, he’s a con man. He’s a Democrat infiltrator for sure, but he’ll never ever ever give up the con.

For sure, won’t doubt that.

If you haven’t heard of the reporter, Ben Swann, you might want to check him out. He’s pretty big on all of that stuff. He did a story on, Pizzagate, a while back and was taken off the air, for some off reason. Imagine that. But he recently did a story on the child trafficking that is pretty damn scary.

They love whenever a “Republican” talks crap about their “own”

Good to see those traitors leaving government. My guess they are just as corrupt as the liberals across the aisle from their.

“I wonder how many have skeletons in their closets.”

I expect they have been approached by HRC/BHO with material gleaned by surveillance and/or other data collected. Blackmail has been threatened or accomplished. When Gowdy “turned”, that’s when it seemed clear to me.

Either blackmail, or these people are deep in activities Trump is trying to eradicate, or are benefitting financially from those (criminal) activities. Human sex trafficking. Drugs. Other stuff.

On Levin’s show last night, Sarah threw in a short sentence about other things that are going to occur soon. I interpreted that to mean arrests for pedo rings or similar. (I could be very wrong.)

Poor snowflakes.
Frontline had a blurb of Flake whining like the loser he is for the no doubt unbiased piece they are doing and we are paying for.

Get Out Now you RINOS.

When I saw that this is an article from “The Hill” I knew it had to be an anti-Trump piece.

Dead man walking. Hopefully he’ll soon declare he’s done. Then we get two, new AZ senators.

There are apparently no shortage of arrogant non-representative, anti-Americans in the GOPee.

They out themselves by being put on display by CNN and MSNBC.

What else would it be. It’s well beyond the ridiculous at this point.

Just a guess, but there was a flurry of activity some months back about
releasing details on members of Congress who had sexual harassment settlements taxpayer funded.
Seems the spate of retirements has something to do with that, although
the list was never released.

Absolutely. Either RINO idiots like Hatch or out abd out globalist swamp dwellers like Flake.

Nice try “The Hill”, but it ain’t selling.

These guys are not retiring. They have been given offers that they cannot refuse. If they keep it up they will get it shoved in their faces. I have always hated RINO Dent with a passion. I hope they go after him if he has dirt in his closet.
