more republicans leaving

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...al/1084809001/

the count has gone up to 41 republicans leaving.

Trey Gowdy being the lastest.

the count is actually higher when you think about it, there were vacancies created when some of the house members became part of the Trump administration. I think there were at least 6 vacancies made last year. so, it's up to like 47 total.

still that is a record breaking numbers.

I'm going to confirm, but an explanation was time limits on committee chairs with representatives not wanting to seek re-election if they are going to lose their chair positions. Gowdy was one.

TRUMP is THE NEW SHERIFF in TOWN.

DRAINING THE SWAMP INCLUDES REPUBLICANS as well.

Trey Gowdy is awesome on TV, but that does not mean he is as advertised!!!

I'm not sure the 6 year term limit on chairs is a good idea. committee powers apparently get concentrated on pork barrelling and policy barrelling. there is apparently a disease of entitlement on power positions within the ranks of powerful house members.

there should be 2 year term limit on chairs, this way other reps can get a crack at being chairman of other committees. this way reps don't get bent out of shape when losing chairs.

filbert, you should be more worried about gerrymandering than term limits

Donald can play a round of golf, fuck a porn star, tweet who is fucking up the world, and eat at McDonalds before you Liberals get up!!

Well, if you're a moderate republican and have campaigned like a moderate republican for years, you have a choice. Begin to campaign like a populist conservative (and deal with the shouts of hypocrisy) or try to keep doing what got you there in the first place (but doesn't seem to be working now). So much easier to retire, go back to what you did before, become a lobbyist, write a book, make speeches, or teach school. All the choices the rest of us don't really have.

Big d....the sheeples president. Make you daddy proud no tell. He raised you to follow the other ignorant racist rednecks. Twit head will crash the Obama economy soon and of course....blame Obama n Hillary n of course the FBI

why that? gerrymandering is a political process that is more art than science.

I'm not worried about that.

all one needs to know is that the politicians pick their voters.

1 precinct from another disctrict is added and subtracted to match the voter count with certain variables and done multiple times til you get yourself a safe seat!

we've been doing that for 200+ years.
