RNC Spring Meeting "a tense affair" (hardly a Bud Light, back slap, or high-five in sight)

Republicans meeting in San Diego are worried that their career prospects could suffer collateral damage if Donald Trump’s administration continues to meltdown, leading to possible impeachment proceedings against the president before the 2018 midterms.

According to Politico, the Republican National Committee’s spring meeting in Coronado is tense affair, following Trump’s stunning firing of FBI Director James Comey which caught not only congressional leaders by surprise, but also members of the Trump White House.

Equally alarming are GOP worries that previously solid GOP seats in Montana and Georgia could be lost in special elections before the 2018 midterms — a harbinger of the struggles that lie ahead with an unpredictable and increasingly unpopular president at the top of the party.

According to one Republican National Committeeman, Trump has changed the game in ways that are making conventional election wisdom obsolete and incumbents nervous.

America's worst, at all levels of government, serving the big-money donors who paid them into office instead of the people.

If the "conventional wisdom" is that they can always fool a large majority of their voters, let's hope 2018 is when they are finally proven wrong. God knows we understand all too well how they arrived at that arrogance.

We've been telling Republicans for years that this bullshit was going to catch up with them. For our trouble, we've been ridiculed, called names, tossed in jail, and gloated over. Well, those chickens are coming home to roost and these fuckers are tense. Too goddam bad. I hope every one of you corrupt fuckers winds up for a stretch in the greybar hotel.
