Sensible Republican

Fiscally and Constitutionally conservative. Socially liberal. Supports sensible solutions and actions from any party to promote a more robust future for all.

@GOP Question two: do you like puppies or being punched in the face? Capitalism works, but not all markets are free. Correcting market failures (e.g. monopolies, externalities, imperfect information) should be role of government regulation to ensure our economy functions well.

@WhiteHouse Art of the Steal: can't get anyone to make a deal with you? Just ignore the will of Congress and take billions from military projects (3 billion behind taken from military infrastructure projects, including family housing)

@SenSanders National holiday works for salaried workers. Not so much for those who would have to work more hours in retail for the new Election Day weekend sales.

@realDonaldTrump I'm pretty sure they get away with it because of that pesky first amendment. If you don't like being poked fun at, stay out of the spotlight.

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

@realDonaldTrump Media that presents opinion and punditry, and half-truths as news creates misinformed voters. That is the real danger.

@chrislhayes @DaggumRoy Trump doesn't represent all Republicans. He doesn't represent conservatism. If we only have two parties in our politics, they both need to be healthy, but the Trump/Fox News wing is a blight to healthy debate in this country.

@GOP The #SOTU isn't a telethon. Stop campaigning and govern for a while. You might like it.

@FoxNews Where's the story about Steve Wynn's contributions to the GOP? Seems like unbalanced reporting to me.

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

@GOP How much of the overall revenue reduction (1.7 trillion) is going to increase take home pay? Unless there are incentives for corporations to spend this money on their workers, not much.

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

@realDonaldTrump The Republicans have shut down the government before using the situation as leverage in negotiations. Fiscal brinksmanship needs to end on both sides, but it's a valid tactic until we get a properly funded government.

@realDonaldTrump There is already 700 miles of fencing. Most of the rest of the border is impassable land (cliffs, rivers, etc.). Wall would be expensive and ineffective.

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

@SpeakerRyan How have these outcomes been a result of the tax bill? It takes years for reforms like this to reach the economy.

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

@realDonaldTrump Reagan worked with the Soviets to end the Cold War. Diplomacy isn't weakness, it's leadership. Also, Kim Jong-Un took office 6 years ago.

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

@SpeakerRyan The tax system should ensure we can pay for services, pay down our debt, and correct market failures by collecting taxes equitably.

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

@SenateGOP What is the GOP alternative? How do you address the market failures in health care?

[Virginia Bridges @VirginiaBridges]

It's budget season. Not everyone wants money. Some want Sheriff Mike Andrews to be questioned under oath ##Durham. https://t.co/eB8xzHTL0y

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

Thank you @GKButterfield for the town hall today. As a Rep. In Durham, I'm interested in pragmatic solutions to complex problems #GKBNC

[Sensible Republican @SensibleRep]

A free press is the cornerstone of democracy. Conservatives should be pushing for more transparency and integrity when covering @POTUS https://t.co/TRwSPlfAwW

[National Review @NRO]

When It Comes to Press Access, Trump Needs To Be Better than Obama, Not Worse

Apparently only some of the media is evil. Trump gets his talking points from morning shows. https://t.co/fMlrI7ajFV

@GOP @realDonaldTrump @dcexaminer why are we starting the 2020 campaign? If there's such a big mess, shouldn't that demand attention?
