McCarthy would have rubber stamped that border bill and you know it. Single appropriation bills, hefty debate, and a turning away from omnibus bills doesn't sound anything like "the party of old." Romney is gone, McCarthy is gone, Cantor is gone, Ryan is gone, etc. the party has shifted and no the GOPe hasn't won. The only reason it's taken this long is because we have to drag the Bush acolytes, butthurt over Jeb's trouncing, kicking and screaming. It's absurd.

So just checking to see how this whole winning thing jives with ya. The leader of the party is America First, the speaker of the house is America First, several republican senators are America First, several fresh faces in congress are America First. Hell, Matt Gaetz ushered in the defeat of McCarthy and well, he's...uh, America First.

So how is that winning? And you call me delusional?

Quick question to the both of you, how old are you? I'm guessing Dubya wasn't the first president you voted for.

5 things to know about Speaker Johnson’s spending deal with Democrats

quote:
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is facing heat from his party’s right flank after striking a deal with Democrats on government funding that conservative hard-liners are already dismissing as a “total failure.”

quote:
“Don’t be fooled. The DC Uniparty’s spending ‘deal’ is a total sham. The REAL topline spending level is $1.658 trillion—not $1.59 trillion. Our nation simply cannot afford the Swamp’s reckless spending habits,” Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), who serves on the House Appropriations Committee and is a member of the Freedom Caucus, tweeted Monday.

House passes government funding package in first step toward averting shutdown

quote:
The conservative House Freedom Caucus came out in opposition to the funding package on Tuesday, saying in a statement that the text released so far "punts on nearly every single Republican policy priority" while giving away GOP leverage.

First, several republican senators are America First, several fresh faces in congress are America First. Hell, Matt Gaetz ushered in the defeat of McCarthy and well, he's...uh, America First.

There have always been some America First type people around. This isn't indicative of some sort of sea change.
