NO... but first..

And, of course, before the end of the year, Republicans in Congress will have to authorize the federal government to borrow more money, increasing the already unsustainable national debt.
While this plays out, there will be no action on ObamaCare or illegal immigration. Congress will also simply watch as Obama regulatory actions undermine any prospect of future economic growth.
Further, it bears overstating that after winning the Senate Majority on a vow to reverse Obama’s abuse of Executive Power on Amnesty, one of the first actions of the Senate Republicans was to grant Obama more Executive Power to pursue a secret trade deal. They also, naturally, took no action on Obama’s abuse of executive authority on immigration. The actions of the Senate Republicans, of course, were heartily supported by the increasingly statist U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
In other words, if you think the political outsiders are doing well in the Presidential primary now, just wait until Republicans in Congress return, openly pursue the agenda of their biggest corporate donors and squander whatever political capital they still have.
During the Civil War, Union General George McClellan refused to battle the Confederate Army unless he had the overwhelming forces he claimed he needed. When we would finally acquiesce to fight, he proceeded to squander his innumerable advantages. McClellan even had the Confederate battle plan ahead of the Battle of Antietam and still only managed to eke out a very bloody stalemate.
Unfortunately for the Republic, Boehner and McConnell clearly skipped this chapters in history class. For political outsiders, though, the continued tone-deafness of Republican leaders is Heaven-sent.

GO TRUMP/CRUZ 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait for the RNC to ask me for a donation.
If their return envelopes are pre-paid I’ll fill them with some heavy stuff and send them back. Some stuff from the kitty litter box won’t be heavy enough. Will need to put in curtain weights.
McLellan is a good analogy, because after Antietam he issued a statement referring to the Army’s intention to “drive the invader from our country”
To which Lincoln railed, No No No, it is all our country!
McLellan failed to understand the basic principle, just like the congressional republicans.
“the next unasked question is: what good can a conservative president do against a gutless Republican Congress?”
Boehner and McConnell have proven they have no qualities of leadership. They are two weak, disgusting men who only want more power and more money.
But even these so-called legislative leaders might be able to accomplish something with a real alpha leader in the White House to line them out.
Recall what happened in October 2013, the great shutdown filibuster?
“Give me an unlimited debt ceiling or else - your move, crackers.”
And the shutdown ended.
Add fully funding PP and Trump will wish election was this Nov.
An increase in the supply of rope and lamppost?
I heard that.. got rope will travel..
Add fully funding PP and Trump will wish election was this Nov.
TRUMP LIKES... Planned UN-Parenthood..
Go away.
NO... but first..
The Fillibuster rules as they are now gives Democrats complete control. Use the Nuclear option to change it back to what it was a century ago.
The difference between McClellan and today’s GOP leadership is I believe McClellan, as worried about his own image as he was, sincerely wanted to defeat his confederate counterparts, not collude with them.
McClellan was an active Democrat; Boehner and McC virtual Democrats.
In as much as the (most) ‘Tea Party’ members that were swept into office whom...immediately voted to keep these two sacks of shite in their respective positions of ‘leadership’.
So much for ‘change’.
Betrayal!
That photo looks like Boehner has a moldy pancake on his head.
We listened to you and we gave you a Republican House, twice.
We listened to you and we gave you a Republican Senate.
AND YOU HAVE NOT ONE DAMN THING FOR US. You lie to us; you stab us in the back; you despise us; you ridicule us. Guess what? The party is OVER, next November.
No more lies. No more back stabbing. YOU ARE GONE; FINISHED; DONE. Live with that.
Yep... this country is in desperate need of a viable third party.
When Trump takes the oath of office Boehner and McConnell can take all the credit. They are driving the GOP voting base into his arms.
I can honestly say at this point I loathe the Republican Congress only slightly less than Obama.

Same here. The GOPe Congress has been a BIG part of 0’s destruction of the USA.
