RINOs Learned Nothing from Trump’s Victories
Senator Thune must step up or step aside.

It’s frustrating to watch congressional Republicans bollix up this critical moment in U.S. history. Time is running out to secure American elections, eliminate all the welfare fraud and birth tourism that operate as magnets for illegal aliens, and pass legislation that gives President Trump’s executive orders the force of law. You can already see the familiar scene shaping up on Capitol Hill: professional Republicans’ “failure theater” is back for another shameless performance.
Over 80% of Americans believe that our elections will not be secure until voters are required to show proof of citizenship and photo identification (common-sense requirements enforced in “democratic” nations around the world). This 80-20 split with the electorate is important to note. Safeguarding the legitimacy of elections is consistently popular in the United States. Over 80% of Americans also believe that ballots should be counted on Election Day. Similar percentages reject universal mail-in ballots. Republican voters are close to 100% in support for these election safeguards. Nevertheless, Senate Majority Leader John Thune continues to play “failure theater” as he finds new ways to sink President Trump’s election-safeguarding SAVE America Act. Utah Senator John Curtis is already joining forces with Democrats to push for mass amnesty for illegal aliens (a recurring dream of Establishment Republicans who enjoy betraying Republican voters more than defeating Democrats’ plans for destroying the United States).
Republican voters have watched this deranged kabuki theater all their lives. Republican voters push for something that they want. Republican politicians promise to “get it done on day one.” Republican voters put those Republican politicians in office. Then victorious Republican politicians find inexplicable ways to break their promises and do nothing. Their failures in leadership hand control of Congress to the Democrats. The Democrats get whatever they want done on day one…usually with the help of at least a few so-called “Republicans” in Congress.
One of the more recent infuriating examples of Republicans’ “failure theater” occurred after President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rammed socialized medicine (aka, Obamacare) through Congress in 2010 and set us down the path toward universal, government-run healthcare.
