GOP better support Trump
If GOP leaders in the House and Senate are backing away from President Trump, why do they deserve our votes?
Where are House leaders, Rep. Paul Ryan and his team, including Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers? Are they going to make clear where they stand in supporting the president and his agenda?
Have the Republicans abandoned the people who voted them in with President Trump? First, we voted the GOP to take over the House of Representative, then we gave the GOP the Senate majority, and followed that with the presidency.
However, with this controlling majority of the American government they have not repealed and replaced Obamacare, the collapsing health care system. They have not even begun to reform the tax system promised to the American middle class and reduce taxes on American corporations to permit repatriation of trillions of dollars back to American shores to generate investments and multitudes of jobs. Though illegal immigration seems to be waning, Congress has not appropriated money for the wall to control American borders, especially with Mexico.
Democrats offer nothing. However, the GOP does not support the president’s plans.
Do we have to vote for the GOP in Congress? Why?
