Outgoing GOP rep: Republican Party 'heading into trouble' in election
The sHill ^ | 2/18/18 | MALLORY SHELBOURNE

Outgoing Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fla.) said in an interview broadcast Sunday that it would be “foolish” for the GOP not to realize that it’s “heading into trouble” in the next election.

“When you look at the future of the Republican Party, I think that we would be foolish to not see that we’re heading into trouble,” Ros-Lehtinen told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

There is no reason to get our tail in a knot right now.

I fail to see this turning out bad for us.

Of course if the McConnell/GOPe/RNC cabal go south on us, who knows. Failing that, we’ll do okay.

She has been “told” to leave or else like many who are. The bitterness is obvious.

She is another one of the Republicans who “grew” in office. I used to be an admirer.

They all thought hillary would win also... her kind were the ones who laughed at the idea of a President Trump.

As a smarter freeper said on another thread, that’s Mitch’s plan - lose the House, vote to impeach and back to business as usual.

Swamp draining and Pearl clutching seem to go together

The entire GOP needs to completely reinvent themselves, starting now.

Trump is the direction the GOP badly needs to go. Pro-American on trade, and for secure borders.

The GOP has for far, far, far, far, far too long been the party of globalism, making crap in China, bringing in illegals, and no border.

All of those things must completely stop, America must be rebuilt, our border secured, Trump re-elected, and the GOP can begin as a real party, with real principles again.

She has a point.

The GOP now leads in the generic nationwide poll. People have more money in their pockets because of the GOP tax cut that democrats opposed and called “crumbs”. Unemployment is at its lowest recorded level ever for blacks. Illegals are being deported.

Sounds like trouble for the establishment.

Her’s is one of 35 open GOP seat. Research show her’s is the ONLY one that is a likely Democrat pickup. There is one true tossup and THIRTY THREE DEEP RED REPUBLICAN LOCKS. Look it up.

The Dems are planning and plotting to steal some seats with fake registrations, double voting, and holding precinct results back to stuff ballot boxes.

Meanwhile the Mitch says “we’re going to lose”

Fix is in.

The RINOs are being forced out and of course they’re all saying the party is doomed the minute they go out the door. No, the GOP will be revived when they’re all gone!

Because she would have a hard time being re-elected she wants to think all Republicans are in trouble. Well, maybe the RINOs are somewhat.

Outgoing Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fraudulently documented foreigners) thinks Republicans will be in trouble if they don’t abandon the rule of law and give amnesty to 30 million new Democrats.

Doomed if they don’t.

Not representing the People, not upholding the Constitution, and not looking out for America’s best interest is a losing hand.

They laughed at the idea of a President Trump because they had rigged it so we could not elect anyone who would side with US.
In all Presidential elections since the last amnesty they made sure we could only vote for amnesty candidates.
Trump was able to break through the Bush blockade at the RNC because of his wealth and fame.

Let's face it folks.
Trump is merely a stop-gap.
Demographics are going to overrun this country because the anchor babies are becoming adults.
Also the Deep State may just be too powerful.
Now's the perfect time to stock up folks and PREP.

Never had any respect for her, good riddance. We need Trump Republicans.
