Tammy Bruce: Republican Establishment Wants To Lose Senate Majority So Trump's Agenda Fails
Real Clear Politics ^ | December 12, 2017 | Ian Schwatz

Posted on 12/13/2017 3:25:05 PM PST by EdnaMode

Conservative commentator Tammy Bruce, in a discussion about Alabama Republican candidate for Senate Roy Moore, said the Republican establishment want the party to lose the majority in the Senate so the Trump agenda fails. Bruce cited Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), who announced he did not vote for Moore, and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who donated to the Democratic candidate Doug Jones, as examples.

"This is a test for the president," Bruce said Tuesday on FOX News' Hannity. "I think what you've seen with Shelby going against it. Jeff Flake, giving money to this guy. I think the Republicans in the Senate want to lose the Senate. I think they want the president's agenda to fail and the only way to really achieve that is to suddenly become the minority."

“I think they want the president’s agenda to fail and the only way to really achieve that is to suddenly become the minority.”

Yep. However, We The People have President Trump’s back. So, let’s hope that the GOPe and the RINOS NEVER figure that out!

What a bunch of b@stards! Love my Country; Loathe my Government! Grrrr!

Then it's time for a new political party.

Honestly most of us around here have known this all along. It's just becoming real, as some say, now that Mitch the Bitch has thrown two Senate seats to Chuckie.

The other being the Mississippi seat that our good buddy Haley Barbour f'd up for him.

Thank you for referencing that article EdnaMode. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots are reminded that the states could repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments yesterday if they wanted to, to resolve major constitutional problems the deep state Senate, problems like unconstitutional taxes and likewise unconstitutional interference in state affairs.

Repeal amendment could include term limit and recall provisions.

I think Tammy Bruce is spot on and leaves us with a real dilemma of how to motivate/correct their behavior when they don’t care if they lose and even if they are primariad out they have cushy jobs set by the Uniparty for them. We need something stronger and more immediate; maybe truth squads which would assemble files like the FBI has and let it be known what will happen to them if they work against the voters. Mitch McConnell and his military service would be a prime first candidate.

I plan to show the Republican Party the same loyalty the GOPe showed President Trump in 2016 (Bushes, Romney etc) and Roy Moore (Flake, Shelby, McConnell etc)

The GOPe is already doing everything to make Trumps agenda fail. Losing the Senate is what they want so they have an excuse to prevent being primaried. Not going to work anymore Rinos.

Except for that lesbian thing, Tammy is pretty much 100% correct all the time.

It’s all about free trade, unbridled immigration and the continued de industrialization of America. As long as the USA maintains almost nil import tariffs, sky high illegal and legal immigration and the USA continues to close factories then K Street is happy an the globalist are happy.. And that is the purpose of the GOP which is to maintain the status quo on trade and globalism.

Nonsense. They may want Trump to fail, but they sure don’t want to give up their majority perks.

My thoughts too.
Shelby might not like the Judge, but to then have a baby killer, late term, pro homo, pro cross dressing globalist is beyond insane, and for the voters in AL who never came out to vote, or actually voted against Moore due to the lies spread by the establishment is disgusting, and they should be ashamed.

Trump should Dump the Republican Party, and ask the so-minded Congressman and Senators to join him. Although only a handful will, at least those will be Patriots, not Globalist Traitors.

why is it? Trump is a Republican, and to state one will never vote for a republican insinuates that person will not vote for Trump.
Saying that there is no frigging way in hell I will vote for another establishment republican, and maybe that is what the poster was trying to say.

Until the GOPe is completely purged; the republican party is pretty much done.
