Trump makes first congressional endorsement and it’s a RINO. Now let’s all pretend to be surprised.

  • Big deal.

    She was the first female Senator to endorse him, so in turn she is the first Senator he enodorsed. She is very strong 2nd amendemnt and female. So she leans too far left, he has to win their votes too. She can be brought back to the right with the right team

    How many times does Trump have to prove you wrong before you get that he is smarter than you?

    • Number one, she is not a Senator.

      Number two, Trump did not prove me wrong in any way other than in some delusional Trumpster reality.

      Number three, you cannot continue to complain about the RINO establishment and claim that Trump is the cure when every single thing he does proves that he is part of that establishment.

      • Ooops, Rep.

        Trump has proven you wrong over and over again. You are in deep denial. You're in good (and I use that term loosely) company with Kristol, Shapiero, Beck etc...... I am sorry this is so difficult for you. You all come across bitter and a bit unhinged at times

        Sure I can. He is running on conservative issues and won.

  • Check out her CR profile here,

    and you will discover a more extensive liberal rap sheet than almost any sitting Republican congressman. Whether it’s
    (Strike one) opposing her state’s marriage amendment,
    (Strike Two) fighting against pro-life legislation,
    (Strike Three) or voting to support Obama’s amnesty even for convicted child molesters,
    Ellmers was always with the far-left. -

  • There are almost no real conservatives these days. There are just democrats who might lean further to the center than others. Trump, Boehner, Ryan, McConnell, McCain, Graham, take your pick. They're all fakes.

    I've always been pretty socially liberal and fiscally conservative but all they harp on these days are social issues while they continue being fiscally reckless and they have for years now.

    "Fix the economy, restore the middle class,create jobs, blah, blah." Campaign promises made by both "sides" that are never really addressed and generally are made worse by crappy legislation that doesn't fix the underlying problem.

    Politicians in general these days are either stupid, frauds or manipulators that never do what they say they will do while campaigning. One of these days, people will wake up and realize how badly they've been screwed by pathological liars that don't give a rat's ass about them on a personal level.

    People that basically worship a candidate just because of the letter next to their name crack me up to no end. "I shook 0bama's/Clinton's/Trump's/Bush's/Reagan's hand! OMG, I'll never wash it again!"

    This crap has been going on since JFK.

  • Renee Receives NRA Endorsement

    “The NRA-PVF (www.NRAPVF.org) has endorsed Renee Ellmers for Congress. It is critical that you vote for Renee Ellmers for Congress, and urge your family and friends to do the same. We need to bolster our ranks in Congress to keep this White House from pursuing an anti-gun agenda after the 2010 elections.

    Gee I guess the NRA is a bunch of leftist RINOs too.

    • I don't know who Neil Stevens is, or whether he has anything to do with Red State, and I'm guessing you don't either. But I do know that he has nothing to do with Donald Trump spending his first endorsement on a RINO.

      It would really be interesting if Trumpsters could stay on topic once in a while instead of resorting to personal attacks... but I guess that's not gonna happen because that would necessitate admitting they've fallen for a scam. Y'all are like Trump University graduates trying to make people believe you got your money's worth.

      • And speaking of scams, we gave the GOP the largest majorities they've had in 50 plus years, and they turned around a stabbed us in the back

        • Exactly! And as the link points out, this woman Trump endorsed is one of the worst perpetrators of that stabbing, having run as a Tea Party conservative originally and then having turned into an open-borders, pro-abortion, budget-busting, LGBT-coddling RINO once she was in office.

          Capiche?

          • Well I don't remember any of the other establishment assholes fighting any of this progressive bullshit either. Lets face it, once one of these liars get on the free shit wagon, they are going to vote the way Mitch the Bitch or Lying Ryan tells them.

          • So you hate the RINOs, but you defend Trump for endorsing one of them. I am at a loss.

          • No, I'm just pointing out that they are all as corrupt as hell. Although it is fun to watch how much everybody seems to hate Trump.
            So who is he supposed to endorse? Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choices, now are there.

          • Sponsored legislation[edit]
            The White House Accountability Act[edit]
            On March 26, 2015, Ellmers sponsored a bill called The White House Accountability Act (H.R.1693). She introduced the bill as her response to President Obama issuing an executive order to cease deportation of undocumented immigrants.
            ==
            "Capiche?"

            Nope.

          • Did you even bother to read the article JP posted, and see just what this bitch did?
            I guess not.

          • You can't point to bills sponsored. That means nothing. A bill might have a hundred sponsors. Or even more. That's just window dressing for politicians who want to point to those sponsorships later as evidence that they are something they are not. How did she VOTE on the crucial issues? What did she FIGHT for... you know, like Ted Cruz fights, even when it makes him unpopular. That's what determines whether she lived up to her promises.

          • Fairness for Farmers Act[edit]
            On March 17, 2015, Ellmers sponsored the Fairness for Farmers Act of 2015. The bill would give an exemption to agricultural farming companies from the section of the Affordable Care Act that mandates health insurance coverage for employers that have more than 50 employees
            ==
            “Capiche?”

            Nope.

          • so she caved to a special interests, and supported legislation that only served a precious few, just like Obama did with the unions...while the average joe continues to get screwed. Awesome! Thanks for showing she only cared about staying in power. Glad it back fired.

          • Ellmers, a Roman Catholic,[34] is a "family values" Republican with Christian values. She has said "As a mom, Christian and nurse, my beliefs have deepened through experience... I am pro-family."[35]

            ==
            “Capiche?”

            Yup. You're an anti-Catholic bigot.

          • Then why is she pro Planned Parenthood?
            You get nowhere pointing to bills she signed on to that are over a year old. What has she done in the past 3 months?

      • I really don't care all that much for any politician, but the GOPe assholes are getting just as bad as the liberals with their threats of violence. You don't suppose their afraid of getting their taxpayer supplied goodies cut off?
        Just as bad as that clown on the Glen Beck show suggesting that assassination is the only solution.

      • Stay away from personal attacks?

        Please look in the mirror.

        Will this person be as bad a Ryan or McConnell. that is a mighty low bar and my guess is no.
