FAIRLESS HILLS, Pa. (AP) — To the Republicans in the red "Can't Afford Katie" T-shirts, it's as if Donald Trump doesn't even exist.

These activists have been sprinting through Pennsylvania neighborhoods, talking to people about how bad Democrat Katie McGinty would be as a U.S. senator. Here to help save Republican Sen. Pat Toomey — and, more broadly, the party's control of the Senate — are employees and volunteers for Americans for Prosperity, the best-known group financed by conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch.

My family and I will be voting for Trump and then bailing on the down ticket.

Take that, Paul Ryan.

Trump raised 100 million and by what I read here he hasn't advertised much on the tube...this is very disturbing as he has enough ammo to blow the botch to oblivion but instead he is investing in RNC races...SCREW that..they don't need their sorry butts helped!!!☹️️

I’m still voting R down the line. A majority will help the 40 or 50 house guy that are on our side get more done.

Besides, my guy that represents staten island and a part of brooklyn is very conservative.

But I wouldn’t mind seeing ryan go down. He’s a piece of ####

And the house wont likely be decided by one loss.

#### him

We need a president Trump and control of the House and Senate.

Republicans will be easier to bring into line than Democrats.

I’ve actually heard more negative ads against Rubio’s opponent than Hillary Criminal here in Florida. No joke. The GOPe literally do not want to win the White House with Trump. They prefer Hillary Criminal to their primary voting base.

Sounds like “My RINO is never the problem” syndrome. Normalcy bias basically. This is why we will never be able to “Cantor” them.

Sickening, isn’t it? My approach is ‘why should we vote for them, when they obviously don’t care if Hillary wins?’. Hillary will keep Obama’s Military policies in place and do even more destruction to our fighting forces........and the GOPe doesn’t care.

It’s actually quite simple. If your gop congresscritter or challenger did not endorse Trump, don’t vote in that race.

Who is your Congresscritter? Right now you are showing why incumbents have a 90% win rate in primaries.

Same here. I've voted straight Republican since Ronald Reagan. Trump might be my last Republican vote ever (unless he wins). But I will only vote for him this election.

By keeping GOPe alive its like death by a thousand cuts and I bleed out slowly. Versus a knife fight while still healthy, i.e., remove the phony opposition and let the internecine warfare in the Democrat/liberal/elite/globalist establishment begin.

So far I have gotten two pieces of election mail. One from Trump and one from Hillary Criminal. She is sending mail to registered Republicans! If I get a Rubio only door knocker you may be seeing my mugshot on the news. LOL.

Don’t leave. The GOPe want patriots to leave the party so they can install their country club globalists. Far better to stay and monkey wrench the party. If Hillary wins assisted by the GOPe it will be time to “support” the vilest GOP candidates we can. How about David Duke or somebody from the Westboro clan next to Rubio on the GOP debate stage? LOL. That will destroy the GOPe brand for a generation.

Wow! GMTA. I was thinking about doing this same thing this morning. If the people in this country REALLY want Clintoon, she should have a Democrat House and Senate too. I want to see the low intelligence jerks in this country suffer. Not just a little, A LOT! I’ll be voting for Trump and against some propositions but I won’t be voting down ticket. The people living in this country really deserve what they are going to get from what they are about to do. I’m on my own now. I no longer have a country and I intend to live the rest of my life that way. Go ahead, commit national suicide. I no longer care.

A president Trump won’t need the Senate. He won’t even need a cabinet.
