The MTG contingent has made it impossible for the Republicans to function as a majority given the slim margin.


But, if they represent such a small fringe as suggested, it should not take much to cast them aside and firmly align with what the majority want. Makes it hard to explain all the goofy tapdancing if they are really just appeasing the majority of voters in what they really desire.

In the context of whipping votes or advancing bills on a party line, their representation/constituency isn't what we are talking about. 3 representatives can prevent the GOP from doing anything on the party line---which is what all legislation that everyone on this board wants to see would be.

That's just the reality of the situation given how tight the majority is. Many here will just say "fine, do absolutely nothing for 7 months," but I do not think that is a winning strategy in an election year.
