Republicans announce they want to drive Raul Ruiz out of Congress in 2018

Goddammit. Here we are, less than two months into 2017, and already we have to hear about the 2017 mid-term elections – because, clearly, your Facebook feed wasn’t already filled with enough political hot takes. The latest: The National Republican Congressional Committee has announced they want to boot 26 Democrats – including Raul Ruiz –  out of Congress in the midterms – meaning it might not be a good time for a certain congressman to invest in a new car.

“The success of our government depends on Republicans maintaining a strong majority in the House,” NRCC Chairman Steve Stivers said in a statement. “We owe the American people assurance that the agenda we were elected on — healthcare reform, a stronger national defense, and more good-paying jobs – is fulfilled.”

Yeah.  Sure.  That’s what they have been working on.
