12. Really - Why Are So Many Repugs Retiring From Congress....

Wed Jan 31, 2018, 01:29 PM

Jan 2018

Is it they don't want to be known as a loser cause they see the handwriting on the wall and know they will get ousted by the Blue Wave?

Have they been cut off from their re-election money from the moneymen?

Or are they thinking that they can elude getting caught up in this whole collusion/conspiracy thingy surounding Trump & the Repug Party?

Will we see more Repugs announcing retirement well before Nov?
