GOP will pay the price for Trump

I'm so tired of Republicans complaining Democrats won't work with them after eight years of obstructionism against President Obama. Now they are trying to undo all the accomplishments of his two terms.

Obama’s only controversy was caused by Trump and his birther claim (untrue). Now that they have the White House and Congress, look what's happened. A president that continues to lie, has over 90 lawsuits against him, has filled his cabinet with millionaires and CEO'S; tried to pass a healthcare bill that would cause 24 million people to lose their healthcare, he has insulted many world leaders.

Now he is under investigation for obstruction of justice and colluding with the Russians. The scary thing is that the Republicans are so intent on keeping the White House they will put our country and citizens in grave danger. He fires anybody who does not show loyalty to him rather than our country. He can't keep his lies straight and contradicts himself and his cohorts. His ego makes him want to be first and best no matter what the cost.

Well congratulations, you are the first president to be disliked by so many, to have so many investigations of you. First to accomplish so little in the first four months in office and you are the first to fire so many people (hmm, The Apprentice). Because of you, a lot of Congressional Republicans will be out of a job in 2018 because they stood by you to try to keep the White House.

So to all the Republicans I only have one thing to say, You got what you asked for, so now deal with it.
