OK, I don't know who wrote this shit, but the truth is, these RINO know quite well, a tax cut, means less money to distribute to their corporate investors, but more importantly, they know what's coming in 2018 and want no part of defeat and the humiliation that goes with it.
Pragmatic, my ass!
In GOP Retirements, Some See an Omen
As the Ways and Means exodus continues, observers wonder what it means for tax overhaul
The spate of retirements by Republicans known as pragmatic legislators, like Tiberi or fellow Ways and Means member Dave Reichert of Washington, is seen by many political observers to be the result of toxic partisanship and deep dysfunction on Capitol Hill. Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, a senior House appropriator, even cited the chaos in Congress as a reason for leaving.
Leaving, in no particular order.

Has Rollcall always been an Establishment shill outlet?

That's what perplexed me about the article, it danced all around the real reason for the leftist exodus, TEA.
I know Rush used to always read from Roll Call, but hindsight being 20/20, I should have known.
They are leaving for one reason. They will lose the office either in a Primary of Gen ELECTION. Dent in particular is a scumbag and going to get killed in PA. So it is time to spend more time with the FAKE Families these idiots have or think they have. :thumbdown:

They'll all do a year of low level schmoozing, and be back in the game in some other context. Dog catcher, tax assessor, vice deputy assistant mayor. They can't help it, they have no value except for titles and perceived control over something. Lamar Alexander has been one of the worst. Always begging for something for the last 50 years.
