But...but...I need my paycheck!
Aww, its time to play the sad-goodbye music for North Carolina wingnut Rep. Renee Ellmers, who won the distinction Tuesday of being the very first GOP incumbent in 2016 to get primaried right out of Congress. Oh, yes, she was also the first congressional candidate to get an official endorsement from Donald Trump this year, although NBC says Ellmers was viewed as an underdog long before Trumps involvement in the race, so thats something Trump can feel better about. This election is all about Donald Trumps feelings, right?
Like any good wingnut, Ellmers was loudly pro-gun, although a few nattering nabobs of negativism chided her for not doing Gun Safety so good in 2013, when she reported the theft of her sons AR-15 from the garage of their home. Hed left it in their unlocked garage after a session of target shooting. But hey, they own a gun safe they left the semiautomatic rifle leaning up against it and went into the house, and then some clever bad person stole it.
I need my paycheck. Thats the bottom line I understand that there may be some other members who are deferring their paychecks, and I think thats admirable. Im not in that position.

Two of the things that they held against her were voting for the budget deal, and helping the delay on the vote in 2015 on the bill that would have made abortion after 20 weeks illegal.
