Every major issue in RI and the country today are Government created.
The big problem in American politics is that voters expect the government to solve their problems. Our country was founded on the principle that the people should be left alone to solve their own problems. When government is empowered to solve problems, it creates them instead.View quoted post on X
We expect honor from the members of our caucus.
Honor in how they campaign.
Honor in how they treat past, current, and future colleagues at any level.
And honor in who they are as people—when the cameras are on, and when they’re off.

.@MikeWChip said the @RIHouseGOP caucus will not invite @AllanFungRI to caucus with them. “(Fung) once considered himself gubernatorial and congressional material. Now he is relegated to being one of 75 members of the House, and he has no home to go to.”View quoted post on X

All Republicans had to do was:
1. put Americans First
2. not start another war
3. prosecute sex traffickers
Republicans nationally campaign like conservatives but govern like Democrats.
Democrats campaign as Democrats but govern as Socialists.
When the Democrats take control the Republicans nationally can only blame themselves for failing to follow through on campaign promises
