I agree the new Republican Left, which has emerged as annoyingly comfortable using the party name to promote things everyone on this site would have deemed unconstitutional pre-Trump, have a 4th dimension to their logic which I have so far been unable to decipher.
Apparently the HFC are the devils because their tiny outfit did not overthrow Trump's new best pal - his co-author of disaster-lite, Ryan. But Trump's not a bad guy for taking Ryan's side over the HFC - which is the only faction maintaining their campaign promise on OCare?
The HFC, being about 10% of the Rs in the House, are not able to overthrow Ryan directly.
But they played Freedom's David against the Ryan/Trump Goliathian hybrid of left-leaning populism fused to the epitome of the establishment. And David won. By keeping faith. In Freedom.
There are a great many things happening in the swamp nowadays which are worthy of worry. The fact that it seems to be engulfing the folks who promised to drain it is not exactly a good sign.
But the victory of the HFC over the populist/establishment complex is a great sign.
