Perhaps he got a lecture yesterday from the Pope about his support for abortion.

“Why Wait? Get out now.”

That was my first thought. He’ll probably resign next week.

I get nervous when someone gives up a very public and powerful position on a Friday and during a first ever visit by the Pope. Cruz had a meeting, so there is a plan, an end-game in place; also, JB has been a crying puddle of tears since day one, so it can’t just be his ridiculous behavior-and why leave at the end of October and not now or Dec 31? Something’s afoot....I would like to believe that they are beginning to understand WHY Trump is so popular and that Conservative Rs are turning their back on anything that even smells like a status quo Bush-style RINO....I can dream...we shall see!

Boehner is Roman Catholic...

Something happened in that meeting...something powerful.

So the House members must have found Donald Trump’s balls.

Now it’s time to loan them to the Senators.

I honestly don’t think this would have ever happened without Trump.

It may seem farfetched but Trump has brought a lot of things to the forefront...including a gathering storm of fed up people.

A small victory. It can become a large victory or no victory at all, depending on who replaces him.

Good and good riddance. I guess he got my message in reply to his last night when he gushed about how great it is to have the pope here.

His message:

Pope Francis made history today as the first Pope to address a joint meeting of United States Congress. Moments after his historic speech, in which he encouraged the members of Congress to defend liberty and pursue cooperation, he emerged from the Speaker’s Balcony of the U.S. Capitol to greet the tens of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall. You can re-watch the full day’s events in the video below.

My reply to him:

Go to hell. Do not stop, just go.

How dare he come here to lecture us!!!!

How shallow do you have to be to fawn over him?

He had a Come To Jesus moment that his life is a wreck. He sold the country out. He needs to go to rehab.

Good riddance to RINO trash.

McCarthy that is on pace to replace him is just as bad. Exchange one buffoon for another buffoon

Let it be known that anyone of his lieutenants are not acceptable. There needs to be a clean sweep at the top.
