Lotsa Pols won't be running for re-election. See list below. There may be more. I wonder why they're jumping ship?

Sen. Bob Corker, R Tenn
Sen. Jeff Flake, R. Ariz
Rep. Charlie Dent, R Pa
Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R NJ
Rep. Dave Trott, R Mich
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R Fla
Rep. Dave Reichart, R Wash
Rep. Pat Tiberi, R Ohio
Rep. John Duncan, R Tenn
Reps. Jed Hensarling, Lamar Smith, Sam Johnson, Ted Poe  R Texas
Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R Kansas
Rep. Niki Tsongas, D Mass
Rep. Carol Shea Porter, D NH
Rep. Tim Murphy, R  Pa
Rep. Jason Chaffetz,  R  Ut    Left 6/30/17

Of course Senator John McCain is dying of brain cancer so he won't be up for re-election

    Perhaps they see the handwriting on the wall; that is term limits.

    I found an article "Trump Will Be the End of the GOP, and It Will Happen Sooner Than You Think"
    But I have no idea who alternet.com represent.

    Anyway, it seems sort of likely, even though the 'credit' should go more to The Tea Party and Sarah Palin who 'paved the way' for Trump to get in. (And to the GoP itself for embracing them).

    The ENTIRE blame goes to those who voted for Trump in my opinion JakobA. They collectively opened Pandora's box and let loose all this evil. There is no atonement for them. Ever. Thank you for your reply.
