Fair Warning Old School Republicans

Attention old school republicans! (That’s YOU Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, et. al.)

I’m giving you a little heads up here. 

The voters who put Donald J. Trump in office as the President of the United States did so because they wanted him to: 1) put a conservative judge on the SCOTUS and install conservative judges in the lower courts, 2) secure our boarders, 3) stop or slow the exodus of jobs to other countries, 4) simplify and cut the tax code, 5) repeal and replace Obamacare, 6) improve the business environment by reducing regulations, 7) retool and support the military, 8) make America be a trusted ally and a feared enemy, and 9) take the fight to radical islamic terrorists (or any other terrorist group that might threaten us, say MS13 or some similar group).

Now if we look at what has been accomplished to date, the things that have been accomplished in D.C. are things that POTUS has been able to do virtually without the help of the congress. (The exception being the approval of Justice Gorsuch and the installation of his cabinet.)

By merely turning off the OPEN light and picking up the welcome mat from the boarder, he has staunched the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, though we still want the wall where it makes sense. 

We have seen that he has been able to slow the exodus of jobs by working with companies and insuring that they understand that their products will face tariffs upon returning to the US. Carrier, Ford and others have already altered plans to move their operations to Mexico. 

He has issued directives that for each new regulation that is issued, 2 previous regulations must be eliminated. By undoing some limitations instituted by the previous administration, he has begun the revitalization of the coal industry with mines reopening that had been closed due to over burdensome regulations. This has helped in the reduction in unemployment as well as the decreased amount spent on welfare.

His trips over seas coupled with his meetings with foreign leaders here have re-established America as a trusted ally and his efforts against terrorism, coupled with those of our allies, seem to be paying dividends in the dismantling of ISIS.

So where are the shortfalls in what he was sent to Washington to do? Hummm???

Well, by golly, it sure looks like it’s you weak-kneed Republican senators and congressmen. The ones who seem to be more concerned with what the entrenched Washington Press Corps and the Media Elites think of you than what your constituents want.

I’m giving you a heads up right now. If you all don’t start making some serious headway on repeal and replace and on improving the tax code, many of us will be supporting those challengers who will be springing up like crabgrass to replace you. You had seven years to come up with a plan you could agree on to repeal and replace. It should have been a no brainer once DT took the oath of office in January, but here it is nearly August and you are still trying to come up with a plan. And don’t try and tell us about that weak tea the House offered up. Yes, its better than Obamacare…..but not a whole helluva lot.

And taxes…..jeez louise. What you’ve done there makes what you’ve done on health care look like you’ve actually done something, which we all know you haven’t.

Anyway, fair warning has been given. So don’t be surprised when you face serious challenges just to try and get your district’s nomination to try and return to your cushy positions.

Or so it would seem to an old farm boy.
