... proving that the GOP is no longer effective at keeping us reigned in or co-opted.....

I wish I had a dollar every time someone wrote "reigned in" rather than the correct "reined in" -- as in, reins on a buckboard or coach-and-six.

Or "honed in on" rather than "homed in on".

Or "poured over", meaning studying written material, rather than the correct "pored over".

It would certainly keep me in gasoline money.

I've poured over your post and it appears you had better hone your reading skills before it rains on your parade.))
