BALTIMORE — Congressional Republicans at their annual retreat this week said they'd work with whoever wins the GOP nomination, but rejected the "Establishment" label front-runners Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz have given them.
"I'm personally very offended to be called the Establishment," said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the chair of the Senate GOP Conference.
"We understand that politics are politics and it's very popular [label] right now. There is a good amount of the electorate, which I totally get, that is frustrated with Washington generally," Thune said. "I think that is what has fueled the rise of some of our presidential candidates on the Republican side as well as on the Democratic side."
Republicans are cobbling together a "common vision for America" at the two-day event, hoping to present an agenda this year that will not only attract enough voters to maintain majorities in the House and Senate, but also win back the White House from the Democrats. They plan to address national security, economic growth, welfare reform and replacing Obamacare.
