I don't think they give a shit what you or anyone else thinks. It's about them, and what's theirs.

So many people in the House feel relatively safe in their Districts, and probably don't give too much of a shit unless they perceive a credible primary challenger.

I'd assume that most of them don't think that they suck but do know that they are generally not liked. I also don't think that they care. It is all part of the game. Pander to get elected - 'work' for the term - rinse & repeat...

It is all part of the process to "drain the swamp" The GOP fucks will hold out on Trump until the last minute and they will scramble to be Trumps buddy.
They want to be re-elected but they dont want to be seen with Trump until they see his poles. Trumps poles are low but if we believed the poles HRC would be president right now. When was the last time you wrote your Senator or Congressman? |

Overall, Congress has a less than 20% approval rating, and has been stuck in that range for about a decade. Yet, they are constantly re-elected. They think, apparently rightfully so, that they're invincible.

I guarantee those who are up for reelection in the mid-terms are more cognizant of it than the rest of them.
The mid-term election will see a number of them replaced...and the rest of them will start to sweat knowing they're in line for Swamp Draining 2.0. |

I doubt they even give a shit. The leaders of the party would prefer to have few numbers in office anyway. Its more profitable for them to be the dems cucks, while telling us that if only they had more money and elected offices they could really fix things this time.

The R's are a pathetic bunch of pussy, backstabbing bitches. Do they really believe the msm, is that why they are fucking Trump? Do they not realize that we now see them for the bunch of pathetic cowardly fuckfaces that they are? You're too kind. I have the same views, but would not have been so genteel. They are self-absorbed, ineffectual political eunuchs belching swamp gas on the evening news. And, no. Remember that they get their news from the dinomedia. I never listen to CNNBCABCPBS except when their "reporting" is quoted on OANN, Rush or Hannity. If all you hear is that dino crap, you have no handle on reality. They have no idea how popular he is, or how much we LOVE have someone fighting for us, and giving the swamp a taste of its own medicine. |

They don't care which party is in power as long as their gravy trains keep rolling.
Many prefer the Dems at the helm because they don't have to do anything but pull the wool over their constituent's eyes. |

Don't think they are worried about those people that voted for Trump in primaries. They know those people will vote for them in mid-terms because they got R next to their name.

I think they know that those "90% of Americans are extremely unhappy with Congress" surveys are people from one place who are unhappy with legislators from another place.
Senators and Representatives know that, generally speaking and with a safe margin of error, that their local voters are happy as hell with them. And, even on the off chance they aren't happy, what are they going to do? Vote for the other party? Stay home and let the other party win? |

Trump voters are starting to be marginalized in articles and opinion pieces by being described as 18% of the voters.
I'm guessing that the ultimate goal is to divide voters and give politicians the impression that they have nothing to fear from going against a minority of the voting population |

I don't think the members of Congress or their staffers know much of shit about who thinks what or what happens outside the 495 Beltway.
Which is why I'm for a Constitutional Amendment limiting the size of the staff of each member of Congress, and requiring each member to remain physically within the geographic confines of his/her electing district for no fewer than 240 days of each calendar year while in office. Keep the power close to the people (and the pitchforks, if needed). |

I've already pledged to not vote for RINO POS Bob Corker next year in the primary OR the general. I don't care who the Democrats run, I don't care if his loss means Republicans lose control of the Senate. I will not vote for him under any circumstances. If Zombie Stalin runs against him on a "DeltaElite777 Sucks" platform, I still won't vote for Bob Corker. And I DID vote for him in 2006 and 2012. If ENOUGH folks made similar pledges, maybe we could primary some of these useless Marxist RINO fuckers out. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Are you sure about that OP? There were A LOT of "not Hillary" voters who don't have great affection for Trump.
