REELECT NO ONE

I'm really disappointed that the people we elect to run this country on The Hill in Washington don't recognize the fact that we sent them there to do what's best for the  country, not to do what's best for their own pocketbook or other self-interests.  I'm also disappointed that the message we sent out load and clear when we elected Donald J. Trump to the Presidency fell on totally deaf ears...

We've got 535 elected representatives in the halls of Congress; yet, only a handful of them are stepping up to the plate.  We've got a majority of Republicans in the House and Senate who simply refuse to stand up for the President WE elected and who is from their same party.  Take a guy like Doug LaMalfa from California.  He's a decent enough guy and has a lot of great ideas, but why hasn't he stuck his neck out and vocally supported his President who, as we all know, is facing unprecedented opposition from every corner of the country except from the people who voted for him?  

We don't have a border wall because of Congress.  We still have ObamaCare because of Congress.  We haven't resolved the illegal immigration problem in this country over the decades because of Congress.  And, it's not just the obstructionist Democrats who are to blame; it's the "shut up and sit down" Republicans who bob and weave, shuck and duck and do nothing.  

Folks, it's now election season and will be for the next six months.  We need to be seriously looking at whether or not we should be voting to return an incumbent... any incumbent... to office.  Frankly, and I don't think you can disagree... they all suck.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
