Wake Up, GOP, and Support Trump -- He's the Reason You're the Majority

THE REAL NEWS IS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN THE HEARTS OF AMERICANS. • The problem is that his Repulbican majority in Congress still seems not to understand why he was elected, what they need to do to help him, or how precarious their jobs are if they don't shape up before 2018. • • • HOW TO CONVINCE THE GOP AS THE MAJORITY PARTY IN CONGRESS IT MUST ACT? While Americans watch the political assassination of President Trump and the continuous attacks, both verbal and physical, on conservatives -- whom they supposedly represent -- the GOP congressional leadership barely nods -- no attacks on the Progressive onslaught, no defense of their President, AND no effort to get the real issues of Obama administration malfeasance and corruption out onto the operating table of investigation. No attacks on Obama's illegal surveillance for political gain. No pushback against the federal court halt of immigration from countries that are terrorist hotbeds. No investigation into Hillary Clinton's many criminal activities -- using an unsecured server, deletion of thousands of classified emails, Pay-to-Play while Secretary of State for the benefit of the Clinton Foundation, money laundering, the sale of 20% of our uranium to Russia. No investigation of actual Russian collusion by Hillary's campaign manager, John Podesta, who was the illegally undisclosed board member of Joules, the US affiliate of Kremlin-owned Rusnano, which received $35 million from Rusnano. No call for the resignation of Special Ccunsel Robert Mueller, the man charged by a Deep State Department of Justice to investigate "everything Trump" and whose close personal ties to James Comey, the fired FBI Directior who admitted under oath leaking classified material so that Mueller would be appointed, should disqualify him. No investigation of Obama mouthpieces Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder, Attorneys General who bent and disregarded the law and their ethical standards as lawyers in order to stonewall the GOP Congress by not answering subpoenas about Fast & Furious and Benghazi, by refusing to begin contempt proceedings against IRS personnel and its director for lying to Congress and hiding or destroying evidentiary documents. • Where is the GOP outrage? Where is the GOP anger voiced in the media? Why do GOP leaders refuse to actually defend President Trump publicly? Why is the GOP not seeking investigations of real criminality, backed by real evidence, not fake news? The Republican Party holds all three branches of government, but its silence yields power to the Progressive Democrat Left who behave as if they controlled Congres and the White House. • And while the GOP rolls over and plays dead, a potentially seditious plot organized by Barack Obama and financed by billionaire George Soros rolls on -- its goal, the impeachment of President Trump and the unfolding in America of their unconstitutional, but preferred, One World Government. Obama has told us publicly about his 30,000 strong Organization For Action with 250 offices all over America to "resist and persist." Obama and OFA are supported by his propaganda arm, the mainstream media, along with Soros Brownshirts (Antifa), who brew up violent protests while activist Obama appointed judges nullify Trump's immigration order and lie in wait for any new Trump Executive Order or statutury initiative, whether on immigration -- Trump supports tight control; health care -- Trump favors taking care of Americans and not being "mean"; tax reform -- Trump wants tax reform that favors jobs and innovation; energy policy -- Trump wants total US energy indepencence; the environment -- Trump favors a clean environment that is not regulated to kill jobs and the American business that provides them. But, the scenario is always the same. • • • THE GOP IS SILENT. Its leaders may think we the people will not notice their silence. Are they waiting to put one of their own #NeverTrump fellow travelers into the oval office should President Trump be removed. Are they really dumb eough to think that there would be a return to business as usual if only they could get rid of President Trump?? That would be a huge mistake -- for them and for the Republican Party. Nearly 63 million Americans voted for President Trump, and if he were removed from office, those Americans would view his removal as a personal breach of trust. Trump supporters will neither forget nor forgive. Perhaps they will start a new party if they can't get the GOP leadership to line up with them and their leader, President Trump -- Lincoln did when the Whigs got so far out of step with the predominant American refusal to go on with slavery that Abe couldn't go on with the Whigs. • One thing is certain, as David Prentice put it in American Thinker Wednesday -- "GOP, Step Up or Become an Irrelevant Majority." Prentice reminds us that during the campaign, there were posters held up for all to see by Trump supporters at one of his rallies during the nomination process. They read : "Do you know who your voters are?” “Do you know what we want?” “Do you ever listen to us?” Those questions were being directed at the GOP leadership, which didn't respond. Trump did. He answered those questions to the GOP base clearly, he ran on those issues, and he won overwhelmingly against every faction and candidate of the GOP. Prentice recalls Jeb Bush : "The golden boy of the establishment spent well over a hundred million dollars in his quest for the nomination. He received three delegates, and polled well under 10% of Republican voters when he finally dropped out. He was such an embarrassment, I doubt anyone can remember who he endorsed. The establishment tried hard to find a replacement, but failed miserably. This GOP establishment has no idea how to answer the questions on those placards. They have no idea who their base is, and frankly have no idea what the American people on the center right stand for." But, says Prentice : "Fortunately for them, Trump did. Fortunately for them, he had enough coattails, and generated enough excitement to help them keep the majority in the House, and the Senate. For one bright moment after election day, House Speaker Paul Ryan admitted publicly that without Trump’s campaign, he would not have been Speaker again. Likewise, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Please note that the few Republican senators that lost close races were the ones who never got behind Trump." • • • GOP LEADERS HAVE SOME PROBLEMS. Instead of being leaders of Trump's Make America Great Again agenda -- MAGA as we're now calling it -- the GOP leaders are sitting on their hands, acting like they lost the election, and doing nothing to stand up against an outrageous, vicious and mendacious attack on their GOP President -- the guy who brought them to the dance. WHY? Are there still Republicans in Congress who are being fed at the trough of special interest mega-bucs, selling out their constituents for money?? Undoubtedly there are. Are there still GOP Senators and Representatives so smitten with Washington's power and glamour that they simply take their seat, forgetting why they were elected. Yes. These officials aren't deep into the Swamp yet, but in time they will be. Are there true Swamp Creatures among the GOP members of Congress, who are so deep in the muck that they don't remember and don't care about America. Sadly, there are. But, Trump and many of their constituents are on to them, and they may be living their last days in the Swamp. And, finally, there are the poor GOP Senators and Representatives who are so in love with their own voice and image on TV that they cozy up to the MSM and anyone else who will promise them a microphone -- if they try to be "objective." They don't even realize that they are being used by the MSM and Obama and all the ProgDem elites to set fire to their own Party. • • • THERE ARE VERY GOOD GOP MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. We see their work, we hear their support for President Trump, we watch them being attacked by their "fellow" ProgDem and GOP legislators, and we know that President Trump can count on them to stand with him • But, we need more form these Good GOP leaders. We need them to push their leadership to be more active in support of the President. We need them to be loud and clear when proposed legislation does not support their constituents' priorities or the President's MAGA agenda. We need them to act as the leaders they should be -- never giving in to either ProgDem siren songs or to GOP elites who are deep in the Swamp. If they don’t, they risk not only their power, but possibly their seats in Congress. • Trump supporters know that he has given America a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shift American priorities from open borders, ever-increasing welfare, a weak military and lead-from-behind world leadership. Trump supporters know that he has made it possible for America to move forward with jobs, prosperity, securtiy and world peace. BUT, they must do their part. Trump can and has done a huge amount in five months, but he cannot do it all alone. • If that is not motivation enough, the entire Republican Party ought to concentrate on those campaign signs : “Do you know who your voters are?” “Do you know what we want?” “Do you ever listen to us?” • • • DEAR READERS, along with those signs, the GOP leadership ought to seriously consider what happened in the Georgia 6th congressional district on Tuesday -- because in political terms, the 2018 midterms are already upon us. The GOP victory in Georgia’s special election runoff has given Republicans new hope that their vote -- and President Trump’s support -- could be more resilient than anyone thought. Even the affluent suburban districts that will determine control of the House in the 2018 midterm elections may be GOP ground for victory in 2018 -- the Georgia 6th was. Karen Handel, Georgia’s former Secretary of State, beat Democrat Jon Ossoff by almost 4% in the northeast suburbs of Atlanta. Ossoff, who raised more than $23 million, ended up performing worse than Hillary Clinton did last November, when she lost the district by a single point to Trump. • We may be forgiven for being numbed by the drumbeat of the ProgDems from the Washington Swamp and their money pool in California that Handel could not win, that Trump was in deep trouble all over the US and would hurt Handel's chances, that the Democrat Party was on the rise. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. The Democrats crowed during the pre-election period that Trump's appeal is only to lower-income white voters and unappealing in a district that is one of the most highly educated in the nation and where the median income is more than $75,000. Several polls in the closing days of the race gave Ossoff an edge, while the Real Clear Polling average showed a de facto dead heat. The fact that Handel outperformed the polls should give the GOP great heart. Trump was underestimated yet again, just as he was when polls predicted his defeat in the crucial states that determined the outcome of the presidential election in November. • In addition to the Georgia result, the GOP has held on to the three other competitive special election districts during Trump’s five months in office. Democrats won only one safe seat, in California’s 34th District, in a special election held earlier this month. • President Trump tweeted as the Georgia returns came in : “Well, the Special Elections are over and those that want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN are 5 and O! All the Fake News, all the money spent = 0.” • Although her margin of victory was much narrower than that enjoyed by her predecessor, then-Representative Tom Price, in his recent elections, Handel’s total vote of around 135,000 was very close to the number who voted for Price in the 2014 midterms. • As a headline I saw on the internet yesterday said : "Trump Hate is not a Policy." • As Republican pollster David Winston reminds us : “This was the kind of district that they were going to need to win if they are going to get back into the majority,” -- many of the top Democratic targets for 2018 -- a list that focuses on 23 districts held by Republicans where Clinton prevailed in November -- are close to the demographics of the Georgia contest. But, Winston cautioned the GOP not to take anything for granted, adding : “As Republicans begin to see an agenda that is being evolved, that is uniting the party. As you move away from personalities into policy, the party is behaving in a much more unified manner.” Another Republican strategist and an early Trump supporter, saw vindication for Trump in the outcome in Georgia : “Polls just don’t seem to capture where his relationship with the American voters is. Trump’s resilience outside the Beltway is alive and well.” • Let's not lose that momentum. Get up, GOP, and get to work. Your future and America's depends on it. Give President Trump what he needs -- your rolled-up sleeves and public support. MAGA.
