Have to admit, I have some catching up to do on who's who for some on this list. Interesting re-read after recent election events and which states became "swing states". Another interesting take is who Trump was able to bring in as a supporter despite the Russian and Ukraine hoaxes.

[dragnet2]

As if any of that BS matters.

[Paladin2]

The question is:

Which Congress Critters with serious cases of TDS will retire in 2021 or 2022?

[wildcard_redneck]

This was the Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and the GOP establishment purposefully losing the 2018 midterm election so that Plastic Pelosi could start harassing President Trump with investigations and impeachment hearings. Paul Ryan would have loved to do it himself but the BushBots controlling the GOP knew it would be political suicide to do so.

[HandBasketHell]

Please God, let 2022 be the year that the traitorous RINOs who are up for re-election will be purged in their primaries.

I urge all patriots not to go third party. Stay long enough to purge the RINOs. Why should we form a third party?

[TexasGator]

?

[patriot torch]

I misunderstood. I thought this list was fox news latest attempt to reinvent themselves with traitors. My bad.

[Paladin2]

Maybe we should take over the ‘Rat Party.

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Yea, I just got a “2021 RNC Membership Statement” requesting another $500. For an incentive, they are leveraging President Trump.

My response will be fun to write.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Agreed. There’s no such thing as coincidence when it comes to politics. Ryan and his followers did it on purpose to sabotage Trump and the Republican base.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

You nailed it. On paper, everything was a dream setup for real conservatives. It should have been an unstoppable triumph, and it would have been except for the actions of the Quislings. I despise Paul Ryan as much as any Democrat, maybe more so.

[newzjunkey]

Darrell Issa’s retirement didn’t last long. He’s back in the House

[Da Coyote]

Given the inability of the party to support their best president since Reagan, they are doomed. Face it, folks, we have to start work on culling out the few Republicans that demonstrated some spine, send the rest to some publik skool to teach some worthless subjects, and get folks out there who are willing to take what the left (Democrats) dish out, amplify it by at least an order of magnitude, and then shove it back into the Democrat collective Obamaholes. With force, meaning, and a look that says “try it again, ***hats”.

[mouse_35]

I am getting texts from the NRSC. I will not be sending money to Republican organizations. I will be sending money to individual candidates.

[lodi90]

Nobody in the GOP showed any spine when it mattered right after the election. A few launched into CYA mode months later after it was too late to stop the stolen election.

[mouse_35]

Neither of my state’s senators are up for re-election in 2022. I will be looking for conservatives to support in other state’s primaries.

[dragnet2]

Part of my point with that was, if this Republcan party and this country can’t put this country right with a leader like Trump, I guaran-damn-te you, you aint going to do it with ANYONE.

[TomGuy]

Senate class of 2022 has 14 Democrat and 20 Republican seats up for re-election.

It may be difficult for the Republicans to regain the majority.

[Deplorable American1776]

You congresscritter is up in 2022...

[Deplorable American1776]

I’d love to see 4 Senate flips (d to r), but not sure what states could do it...
