During a “Reality Check” segment on CNN’s “New Day,” contributor John Avlon highlighted the exodus of GOP House members who have chosen to step down and not run for re-election under Donald Trump, calling the sheer number of them “stunning.”
Speaking with hosts John Berman and Alisyn Camerota, Avlon hearkened back to the departure of former House Majority Leader Paul Ryan (R-WI) that was a harbinger of more departures to come.
“If you look around Congress lately, a surprisingly large number of Republicans who were there before Donald Trump became president are no longer serving. So what is causing that?” host Berman said by way of introducing Avlon.
According to Avlon, “We talk a lot about Republicans who, come hell or high water, have latched onto Donald Trump and will hold on no matter what he says or does. But there is a counter-trend: an exodus away from the party of Trump.”

Two things came to mind when reading this article:
One: most of these people are going to go and do the Ryan thingy..................become a lobbyist after screwing people for years with there libertarian BS......................
Two: when the article says that the sexual predator and traitor has a 88% approval with the base, this tells me that if there are 100 people being asked and his "base" is 34% ie; out of 100, then 88% approval out of of the 34% doesn't mean shit-------------------he is a loser.............................
