GOP Senators to Become Democrats?


Established RINOs are saying out loud what we’ve known for a long time.

They hate Republican base voters and America First policies.

These politicians don’t serve the will of the American people.

They serve corporate donors and the global elite.

They’re warmongers.

They wish to empower corrupt three-letter agencies such as the FBI, CIA, NIH, and IRS.

More power for the political establishment.

Less power for We the People.

That’s what these RINOs believe.

They’re just more brazen about their betrayal of their constituents, the men and women who employ them to uphold the will of the people.

According to interviews conducted by The Hill, we know which GOP senators fear ‘populist’ Republicans will ruin their chances of retaining power.

The outlet named several GOP senators who fear this growing sentiment, including John Cornyn, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney, and John Thune.

The Hill writes:

Republican senators say they’re worried that conservative populism, though always a part of the GOP, is beginning to take over the party, becoming more radical and threatening to cause them significant political problems heading into the 2024 election.

GOP senators are saying they’re being increasingly confronted by constituents who buy into discredited conspiracy theories such as the claim that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election or that federal agents incited the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Growing distrust with government institutions, from the FBI, CIA and Department of Justice to the Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health, make it more difficult for Republican lawmakers to govern.

Republican senators believe their party has a good chance to take back control of the White House and Senate, given President Biden’s low approval ratings and the favorable map of Senate seats up for reelection, but they regularly face political headaches caused by populist members of their party who say the rest of the GOP is out of step with mainstream America.

“We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I’m having more ‘rational Republicans’ coming up to me and saying, ‘I just don’t know how long I can stay in this party,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).

“Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.”

“You have people who felt some allegiance to the party that are now really questioning, ‘Why am I [in the party?]” she added.

One anonymous Republican senator told The Hill the strength of ‘radical populism’ “makes it a lot more difficult to govern, it makes it difficult to talk to constituents.”

“There are people who surprise me — I’m surprised they have those views. It’s amazing to me the number of people, the kind of people who think the election was stolen,” the senator said.

“In my state there are a lot of folks who see Washington as disconnected, they see their way of life threatened,” the senator added.

Cont. from The Hill:

Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) pushed back on calls to defund the Justice Department, telling reporters: “Are we going to get rid of the Justice Department? No. I think defunding is a really bad idea.”

Thune later explained to The Hill: “There are seasons, swings back and forth in politics and we’re in one now where the dominant political thinking is more populist with respect to national security, foreign policy, some domestic issues.”

“It concerns me that people lose faith in their institutions, but this has been a long story throughout our history. It’s nothing new although it’s troubling,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).

Cont. from The Hill:

Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) warned, “I fear that snap impeachments will become the norm, and they mustn’t.”

Asked about efforts to erase Trump’s impeachment record, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) quoted the popular show “Succession”: “Logan Roy made a good point. These are not serious people.”

These public servants never upheld their oath of office to protect the rights of the American people.

If they join the warmongering, pro-global elite Democrat Party, it couldn’t come soon enough.

Conservative Treehouse wrote:

The senators are openly warning that if putting American interests first is going to be demanded by the voters, these Republicans will just become Democrats. There is no reason for Americans to distrust the institutions the Republican senators support, and there will be no compromise or discussion.

What is making these Republican senators angrier is that who they consider to be intellectual and professional people are also demanding a more populist approach toward a government that represents the people.
