I’ll tell you why: because in all likelihood you’re not right about what you’re discussing and thinking to begin with. So it’s a flawed premise before it even gets off the ground. And I truly don’t mean that as an insult. I mean it genuinely so as to say the dim view you and others have of the situation, again, in all likelihood it most likely ain’t quite such a glum scenario. As I mentioned in another thread, it’s each our own responsibility to set reasonable, realistic, responsible expectations. You’re no help to anyone including yourself if you fail or refuse to do so.

Politics 101.

Graham, et al took what Trump suggested and ran with it because it was a way to attach Trump to the spending.

Trump shouldn't have said anything, but I don't know how he couldn't. This congress was spending that money and NO ONE was stopping them. You and I both know Trump knew this. He gave Johnson enough rope to hang himself.

You and I both have no idea what would have ultimately passed. Get out of here with that nonsense.
Maybe you don’ know, but I know the bills McCarthy was ready to bring to vote were all better. Or are you under the beliefs that MAGA and the democrats would have united to get a better. set of bills?

Just surrender. It’s a great way to win! LSU should try that against Bama. “We let their offense score 80 points. Surely they’re too tired, and we have the advantage!”.

I don't understand the willingness of several on here to just accept what the GOPe does and say...oh well, it could be worse.
I don’t see anyone defending the GOPe. I love the MAGA agenda (mostly). But they do not have enough votes to have any power. That’s not the GOPe’s fault. It’s their fault and MAGA voters not getting it done.

Every GOPe rep in the house was up for re-election two years ago. And damn ear al of them got re-elected, except for the MAGA candidates that lost.

MAGA needs to be focused on winning elections at this point. Not swapping speakers every time they don’t get their way.

Like your GOPe did after 2016, by retiring in large numbers?
I thought you wanted to get rid of them? Which is it? You should have a look and see they weren’t replaced with more MAGA candidates. They were mostly replaced with Democrats. Again, gotta win elections. Not flinging poo.

A RINO to you is anyone not fluffing Trump.

This is silly. I guess MAGA Mike was able to trick MAGA. I’m not sure that’s a good thing though.
