There are always consequences for your actions…
A recent report from Breitbart news has revealed that 40% of the Republicans who voted to impeach Trump are either retiring or no longer seeking re-election.
The most recent RINO to call it quits is Republican lawmaker of Michigan Fred Upton.
In response to Upton announcing he is no longer seeking re-election Trump was quoted saying “UPTON QUITS! 4 down and 6 to go. Others losing badly, who’s next?”.
RINOs leaving the ship? I didn’t know they could swim.

Breitbart had more on the story:
Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) on Tuesday announced his exit from Congress, notching up a 40-percent exit rate among House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump.
Just before announcing his retirement, Upton noted in a campaign email on Tuesday “very positive” poll numbers in his primary race against Trump-endorsed Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI). Both Huizenga and Upton were running for the same seat due to state redistricting.
“I got a lot of unfinished business that I’m going to be working on now. … But no, this was our decision, independent of what I did with Trump,” Upton said, acknowledging his failed vote to impeach Trump.
Upton joins three other pro-impeachment Republicans to forgo running for reelection. Those include Reps. John Katko (R-NY), Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).
Additional pro-impeachment Republicans may also not make it to the November midterms. Reps. Tom Rice (R-SC) and Liz Cheney (R-WY) are facing tough reelection campaigns. Donald Trump called Rice “a disaster” in March and said he is “laughed at in Washington.”

The Republican party of old is gone and the new Republican party led by Trump is here to stay.
