Ryan has actually been worse than Boehner. So this argument, Huelskamp is great because he helped oust Boehner has it backwards. Anyone who voted for a Speaker who has been worse than Boehner shouldn’t get credit for it.

#255, dude.

I’ll go on

We no longer like and respect people who opposed Boner cause the replacement predictably wasn’t any better? That’s fine with me but I find it a bizarre and illogical. For years freepers have been praising the FEW who forced Boner out as the cream of pro-America House conservatives.

In reality, amnesty is alive and well.

Illegals have their jobs, displacing some poor American citizen. Unless they do something really terrible, they are happily making a living and sending money back to Mexico.

To really stop amnesty, EVERY ILLEGAL MUST BE REQUIRED TO LEAVE, wait in the legal line of immigrants. Until that happens, Amnesty is alive and well.

He was not a "never Trump" but Trump fans took him out anyway and replaced him with a DC "Open Borders" RINO!

Please elaborate.

Why would Trump fans "take him out"? What would be the ostensible reason? Sounds dubious...

Vote Trump!

Whatever man, this is a pointless side argument. Marshall is a Chamber of Commence RINO and Huelkamp was an excellent Rep. Congrats?

Tsk, tsk, tsk...is poor widdle diddums upset?

You go take a "HAPPY PILL" ( whatever that is ); you're the one who needs them; not I !

You don't post on topic. You moan and groan and whinge and whine and call names and claim all kinds of things that are patently ridiculous.

It's not just the flag, on your home page. You have claimed that you voted for Teddykins and ONLY people who live in Texas could do so. So, either you were LYING back then, or you are attempting to lie without actually lying, now.

Oh dear...go play with your dollies; you are the one acting like a toddler with the TERRIBLE TWOS.

You and me both are hoping Nehlen defeats Ryan. Ryan would sabotage Trump at every juncture. He needs to go.

Yes, that’s a BIG problem! They claim that THEY and ONLY they are the for REAL Conservatives, but they aren’t at all.

I rather suspect the vote reflected the dismay of the Republicans who voted for Trump seeing Cruz waltz up to the podium and not endorse the nominee and infact diss the nominee the next day.

So much for conservative unity.
Yes I said it!

I’m wondering. Do we no longer support the conservative in the race? But we base the whole thing on who he/she supported in the primaries?


Are you saying the pro-trump candidate was not conservative?

Regardless:

I don’t think Free Republic is supporting establishment...

I do know that Free Republic is supporting Trump...I am guessing that anyone that has aligned themselves with Cruz is not going to be very popular around here.

You don’t seem to get the seriousness of the election or the paradigm...

Perhaps if you read my tagline you will understand...

Trump fans want any elected official who didn’t support Donald in the Primary, to lose even though the entire State of KS voted Cruz!

That’s people all over the country voted for Cruz in the primaries. It wasn’t just Texas dear lol.

Again, stop being obsessed with Cruz. We have a country to save.

Maybe the voters were sick of conservatives who covertly support Hillary. From the time Cruz’ campaign lost a path, via the voters, to the nomination, all true conservatives should have been lock, stock and barrel neverHillary. Like it or not, that meant pro Trump.

But you are overlooking the much bigger picture. Which is POTUS Trump. Trump will be 1000 times more effective in pushing the nationalist America First agenda than any single congress critter such as Huelskamps or Marshall. The very serious sin of Huelskamps was to oppose Trump which helps Hillary get elected.

Anyone who opposes Trump must be thrown to the wolves otherwise the globalist agenda will continue.

Heulskamp trashed Trump and woke up far toooooo damned late. That tells me all I need to know about him.

Good point, nopardons.

Once Huelskamp saw the writing on the wall, he apparently tried to pivot away from his NeverTrump silliness.

Too little, too late. As such, Huelskamp, and Huelskamp alone was the architect of his own demise.

Vote Trump!

And I’m scared to death it will continue, regardless who’s elected in November.

I hope to God Im wrong.
