Seriously, why are Republicans fighting Trump's agenda so hard?

The man came out of absolutely no fricking where and butt raped 16 other opponents and then shocked the world by soundly beating political royalty in what was supposed to be a gimme election.
This shows (or should show) that his message resonated with people all across the country.
He created a bonafide political phenomena. He drew unprecedented crowds from one end of the country to the other.
Republicans control the majority of both houses, yet they refuse to pass any of the agenda that this country voted for.
Do what the man promised voters and they'd ride a wave of momentum that would take the Dems 20 years to recover from. Who doesn't want lower taxes, secure borders, cheaper and better healthcare, more fair trade deals, higher wages, safer neighborhoods, less government interference in our lives, better jobs, a stronger economy, all of the things Trump promised.
What "republican" in their right mind wouldn't want these things?
Is it truly uniparty?
There's over 100 VERY conservative judicial nominees waiting to be confirmed? WTF?
Are the establishment cucks that entrenched that they are going to openly defy the voting public? Are they going to willingly dick slap the very people that elected them to cater to their corporate pimps?
Just take the special election in Alabama, voters AGAIN showed Congress that we're sick of the shite. Are they STILL going to ignore the pulse of the working class?
Y'all help me understand this.

The establishment dems and reps are puppets for the same master.

They want the status quo

A lot of what of the "working class strategy" that lead Trump to wins in the mid-west isn't relevant for most congressional Republicans. A lot of those states elect Dem congressmen. So the average constituent for a Republican congressman doesn't necessarily include the Trump working class.

I can’t help you because I don’t understand it. We have to get better candidates to run And for them to understand what we expect from them as elected officials

I hope you voted for Roy Moore!

Corporate Republicans serve the same masters as Democrats, that's why.
Republicans and Democrats are mostly the same and give us the illusion of choice.

Same reason GOP fought the Tea Party so hard.
The GOPe wants big expensive government that gives them power over your life. The only difference from the DNC and GOPe is that the RINOs wants just slightly smaller and a little more efficient government.

These states would be electing Pub congressmen of Republicans would get off their arse and help Trump lower taxes and healthcare costs.
And yes, I voted for Moore despite his baggage. I refuse to vote for more establishment whores.

Good, honest, Christian, family man candidates won't run. The special interest groups put up so much money for false TV ads and the Democrats and Unions lie about you to hurt you. Who wants to go through all of that again. I know.

Fame and fortune, money and power are at stake. As long as big Pharma, insurance lobby, etc., can contribute to BOTH sides, there will be only one side.

He's a threat to the money, power, and status quo. Dems and repubs, lobbyists, and bureaucrats in power don't want changes to the structure.

They despise populism. They are going to send Jeb! and Rubio in to try to take down the only win they will ever have. Not one GOPe candidate can win the blue wall much less Pennsylvania. McConnell is play acting with his presser with Trump because they are scared shitless. They are not to be trusted again. Trump is going a long for the sake of the unity BS, but he is not a stupid man.

It's my firmest belief that he sent Bannon out to get rid of these fricking leeches.

"Republicans" and "Democrats" are a farce in DC. There is only the establishment. They are unified in their front. They basically fight each other to get the most lobbyist bullshite passed to ensure funding and backing for re-election with no thought or care about how it affects the country or citizens.
Trump caught them drinking their own Kool-aid. They will not allow that to happen again. 2020 election will most likely see a very strong Dem candidate with a third party candidate running who represents the best of the repub party. This will ensure split votes against Donald and Dem victory. They will then spend the next 4 years trying to dismantle this country through solidifying power and increasing restrictions on everything from speech to property.
Mark my words.

Because Trump has an easier time making enemies then allies and has destroyed relationship after relationship with congress.
This is all on donald.

You spend all of your post bitching about something you don't even bother to demonstrate exists.
You mean the one where the voters threw out Trump's candidate? So really I guess the voters are fighting Trump...
