Actually, the voters are sending a clear message that there is no room for TDS in the GOP.

So far, 6 of the Republicans — who voted to impeach President Trump — won’t be returning to Congress:

❌Tom Rice
❌John Katko
❌Fred Upton
❌Peter Meijer
❌Adam Kinzinger
❌Anthony Gonzalez

Trumpers are freakin idiots on some of these. Just on "principle". Rice, Meijer, Gonzalez had no reason to be defeated.

If you're not smart enough to know that at the very least, Trump should have acted faster once the **** went down at the Capitol, then you really are a moron. That was evident about 4 pm on Jan 6th in real time.

and in case it needs to be said, I'm a fairly conservative R voter that voted for Trump 2x.

Trump "policies"? I'm 98%.
Trump "ability to be the POTUS" I'm 1%.

Kinzinger announced he wouldn't even try before the Jan 6 commission got announced. Please, pay attention.

And to me, Kinzinger and Cheney are both unfit to serve.

However, every voter can cast his or her vote for whichever candidate that voter wants, and it isn't up to me to dictate the things that are important for every voter. I daresay my vote takes into account things others may feel are irrelevant. So the results are the results; I accept them.
very true!

I think she’s out to avenge the snubs by Trump of the Bush-Cheney wing of the party. Trump dumped on Jeb, and brother George, and in essence the father George the first, mother Barbara and friends Dick Cheney, Dick Rumsfeld, Bill Kristol, Rick Wilson and many other neo-cons.

Those Trumpers may have had help with some Democrats who registered as republicans just to vote for the more extreme Republican candidates. We’ll see how that strategy plays out in November.

Meijr in MI got the underhanded treatment. I don't think Rice in SC did, but I could be wrong. He certainly got the "How dare you question Trump, we'll primary you!!1!!!"
