HONOLULU (AP) — A Republican lawmaker in deep-blue Hawaii is considering switching parties to become a Democrat after she was pressured to give up her leadership role for criticizing President Donald Trump. Rep. Beth Fukumoto said Republican Party members asked her to resign as Minority Floor Leader after she spoke at the Women's March in Hawaii. In her speech she called Trump a bully and said his remarks were racist and sexist and had no place in the Republican Party. "I raised concerns that that teaches our kids that it's OK to be a bully, and I think that should have been a nonpartisan message, but the reaction I got from the party and from my caucus was overwhelmingly negative," Fukumoto told reporters Wednesday. "The pressure on me is getting greater and greater to just comply with the wishes of the national party, and that's not my job." https://www.yahoo.com/news/anti-trump-republican-eyes-party-switch-deep-blue-014842787--politics.html |

She has no place in the Republican Party. |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

It's not really the Republican Party she started out with now is it...perhaps you and yours should have had the nuts to start your own party rather then ride in our coattails and our money, and our network |

If there are three patriot republicans in the Senate, they will put aside partisan loyalty in favor of duty to country, renounce their party afiliation and declare themselves Independents That would make the Democrats the majority in the Senate, and they will have the guts to put the brakes on this Trump, who most definately has been compromised by Putin Since the GOP congress is filled with cowards, some who once said Trump was unfit to serve, but now cower at his feet in hopes that he'll fill their wishes, this is the only way America can be saved from Trump and his gang rape of the country Edited by Attaburnsinhell, Feb 3 2017, 08:49 PM.

Perhaps you should have controlled your borders? |

Perhaps, but then again we never figured on being subverted by a bunch of nitwits with a hate on for everything non-white, non-Christian. |

Indeed. Harambe is the future of the Republican Party. The biggest problem now is getting other Republicans to realize it. |
