"We may get clubbed like baby seals in 2018": State GOP officials

According to a longtime GOP consultant who backed Trump before the 2016 election, the president’s Russia problems have cast a shadow over everything and nothing Trump promised on the campaign trail is being accomplished.

“There were a lot of things that were promised to be done, and we’re just getting a lot of noise out of Washington,” said North Carolina’s Marc Rotterman. “It seems it’s Russia 24-7. When you’re reacting and defending, you’re not moving on your agenda. You’re not fixing day-to-day problems for average Americans.”

Florida GOP consultant John McKager Stipanovich concurs, saying if Trump doesn’t follow through on his campaign promises to repeal Obamacare and cut taxes, it will disastrous when the next election cycle comes around.

“If after all of the talk, after all of the chest-thumping, we can’t get anything done, we may get clubbed like baby seals in 2018,” explained Stipanovich.

Baby seals are cute, adorable, defenseless cuddly critters who warrent protection. Repubs deserve to be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail. They are not at all alike.

For every problem, they have a agenda that does that exact opposite of what needs to be done.

The public should be glad they are so incompetent.

They should not be attacked.
Republicans are not and deserve it. Let us see what happens should Conman fire Robert Mueller.
