Republicans have been trying to get things done, but do have these moderates to contend with in their party.
Dealing with the moderates beats creating a bunch of jumping Jim Jeffords as independents.
Third parties have been trouble all along though, their enabling of Democrats and their fruitcake candidates have been nothing but trouble.
Many foster anarchy and call it conservatism. What a crock I have found them to be when they post on this site. Often they can be found backing all vice and illegal recreational drug use in the name of the Constitution for fun.
They are a waste of good air IMO.
True story. Some years ago I hired a friend of a long time employee. He wouldn't apply himself, half the time he didn't show up to work, and we took our time with him, trained him, several times, had talks with him, over and over and then found out he stole some items and cheated us.
Needless to say I fired him. I had no choice. This is the same thing that happened to me with this party. I fired them some time ago. I had no choice.
