First time posting in the Rants forum. Here goes.
As the title says, where the f**k are the Republicans? The Senate has a Republican majority and the house has quite a few Republicans last time I checked. Granted, I don't watch MSM and so I get my news from aggregate services such as News360. There is no news about Republicans taking a stand. There is so much coverage about the Democratic push against the white house its become ridiculous. This has been ongoing for 2 and a half years now and it's as if Trump's party has abandoned him and he has to defend himself on every attack. Unfortunately, too often, that's on Twitter. (By the way, Twitter should be banned by policy for federal government officials but that's another thread.) If it weren't for Jim Jordan, I'd say the R's are just dialing it in instead of actually showing up for work.
It's not so much that we need Republican senators and house members to speak up in news bits but there's a general lack of a coordinated response (a.k.a. a strategy) to counter Democrats' efforts to stop Trump at every turn. What are the R's doing all day? Don't they have an obligation to try and support their leader? We have a country at stake and congress is letting the D's run amok. Meanwhile. very little legislation is getting done. It's nothing but hearings and impeachment speeches.
I want to see a contingent of Republican leaders. A few that will make some real noise and not the old standard parrots like Lindsey Graham who talks well in front of a mic but has no teeth. We need a few like the three horsewomen. It's time to get a bit radical I think. I live in Georgia and I'd like to see Johnny Isakson and David Perdue step up to the plate. There are 9 Georgia Republican congressmen. They need to step up to the plate. They're all on recess now so it's not like they don't have time to actually get together and think.

Yeah, I try to stay away from this with politics (you could've posted this in political mud-pit for an even larger response) because it's a lot of effort for no real gain. You get to explain your feelings and ideas and if the forum is majority aligned with you it's good and rewarding because you shared with your fellows. If not, you'll get tons of replies but very little stars, even flags depending on how much it triggers them. You won't be changing anyone's mind and you'd be starting one of those mud throwing things and your post is the bullseye.

Hillary on the other hand, well shes just a bitch, god I hope she runs again, I have so many memes and gifs I'm surprised ATS hasn't cut me off due to taking up all the storage.

If you're a conservative, do you feel somewhat abandoned in support for our President?
