The 2018 election, although a loss for Republicans in the House, has purged many members who were pro-amnesty, strengthening the GOP block as firm defenders of the rule of law and securing the Southern border. The Free Beacon reports:
When the 116th Congress convenes next January, it will be without the majority of the Republican supporters of the Gang of Eight’s ill-fated immigration plan, signaling a transformation in how left, right, and America in general deal with the issue.
Just 6 of the original 14 Republicans who backed the proposal will return to Congress—and most of these have moved significantly away from their 2013 centrism to being more unambiguously aligned with President Donald Trump. On the left, meanwhile, the bill’s original authors all remain, as the Democratic Party grows ever more radical on border issues.
[…]
Of the 14 Republicans who broke ranks to back the Gang of Eight bill, just 6 remain. Two—senators Kelly Ayotte (N.H.) and Mark Kirk (Ill.)—lost reelection in 2016. Sen. Dean Heller (Nev.), whom immigration restrictionist group NumbersUSA gave a lifetime C ranking on his immigration votes, failed to win his reelection bid on Tuesday.
Another crop of three are all officially retiring at the end of this term. Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah) has been a staunch ally of Trump (his successor, Senator-elect Mitt Romney, has been vocally critical). But the other two—senators Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.)—have often been at loggerheads with the president. Flake in fact cited disagreement with Arizona Republicans on the issue of immigration as a reason for his retirement.
This is a huge defeat for RINOs, who will be an endangered species now more than ever.
McLAME died, Ciroker and Flaky QUIT that was a LITTLE help!!!
Humans of the Flake, McCain, Ryan, etc., variety are living proof of the dire need to enact term limits. Also when having lost an election they must step down asap and the seat surrendered to the winner. That would prevent nasty cuts for the next elected seat holder.
I am 85, and I do not do social media so called. Will you accept me? if so, thank you very much. Has trump become a Christian/ He certainly has not lived a Christian lifestyle. Nevertheless, God may have combined strange combos of patriotic, hardworking Americans, evangelical Christians, and other constitution lovers to get trump elected. Trump’s magnificent policies and actions are giving us a chance to survive as a nation. Obama and his constitution hating cohorts had almost destroyed us. We need to repent of our heinous lefal murder of millions of helpless infants, our fornications, adulteries, aodomy, and lesbianism. God is giving us a new chance even though we clearly do not deserve it. I am praying for repentance and revival. God is incredibly kind and merciful. Praise his Holy Name!
Just sickens me how the socialists deep state fixed the election and so far is getting away with it. We are all doomed to become socialist
I hoped that we would keep both Houses but if not we are now in for a rough ride.
Don’t know about you but I will never be a socialist. I love my country. I am a Nationalist. For those liberal politically correct twits who are trying to turn ‘Nationalist’ into a dirty word check your dictionary, or your thesaurus. Nationalist is a person who loves the nation where they live. doesn’t matter if you are black, white or brown; if you love America you are an American nationalist. If you live in Britain and love Britain you are a British nationalist. Understand now!
As I believe President Trump is a true believer in Jesus Christ and with his faith combined with all of ours, is really all that is needed. However, it wouldn’t hurt either if all of us who also believe in Jesus remind ourselves that President Trump is just one man, and he too requires help, support and our prayers regularly. But remember by putting your prayers and faith completely into Jesus, it is he who will ensure President Trump’s successes. So be ever vigilant and double if not triple efforts to watch President Trump’s six, and pray to Jesus as it is he that will guide this President to complete success, PERIOD!
Amen!
Trust God ” have faith in Jesus and prepare for with Muslim party known as democrats.one shot one or more kills. If you can’t deal with it you already lost.
Republicans has two years to really make a difference. Yet no Wall funding Obamacare is alive and well and so much infighting. I have been very disappointed in Congress. President Trump did all he could and perfectly yet the RINOs failed all conservatives. No we have Pelosi back
You have to watch Mitt Romney I think he just might be a RINO.
VERY MUCH SO! Romney & Trump, do NOT, ‘like each other’! COULD BE A PROBLEM!
McCain is gone.
May all The RINOs become extinct.
My favorite quote…
“This is a huge defeat for RINOs, who will be an endangered species now more than ever.”
I’ll have to co-opt it!!
There is always a split between The House and Senate vote. Nothing unusual.
Flake is a “flake” and AZ will be a better place without him.
Only if McSally can pull a win out of the democrats fixed election.
Only praying to God can defeat the Devil.
Christians are now a minority in the USA
but we have an all powerful adversary.
A never Trumper was elected, Romney will work against President Trump
We will see about Romney.
He may become a Trump Agenda supporter yet.
YAAAAY!!
