We all know the GOP is contemplating the better ally — us or the Rats.
In post-constitutional America they know that they don't need us anymore. As long as they play their role as pretend opposition their dem master will pat them on the head and pull the election lever to allow just enough of them to keep their cushy jobs to make it look like we aren't run by a single party politburo. For now. As Churchill said, feeding your friends to the crocodile hoping it will eat you last is a poor plan.
