This was a similar game the Dems played a while back - they were “stuck” with conservative Democrats, grudgingly took them in to get the numbers up, then stuck it to their own. I think Newt took advantage of thet to get 4 balanced budgets and surpluses that Billy-Jeff took credit for. I think the same happened here - the GOP-e grudgingly took the “win” thinking they would have compliant little freshman - and when they didn’t play ball - then they were on the outs..... This makes me sick - and yearning for a 3rd party (conservative) alternative.
Me too, my friend; me too.
