“I get the impression many now believe it’s over (fight with O) and its time to go out with a bang.”
Outside of Nixon and Lee Atwater, what “Republicans” have fought? I guess Lincoln.
The problem is a systemic one that’s manifesting itself in spades.
No leadership, or feckless leadership = failure, pure and simple.
And no one in the House wants that Speaker job, So that is a stain on them all in the House esp the ones causing trouble, in fact why is McConnell still Minority leader ?
A couple of days ago I heard Levin calling out the ‘heroes who opposed the Tax Relief Act(aka Cliff Bill),‘ he said they would go down in history as heroes(didnt that bill pass into law?).
So he lists a few who verbally said they opposed it, but not one of them was in the House or even elected to the House next session at the time. None of them were relevent to that fight.
This is like saying the American heroes at the battle of Kasserine Pass ( the US Army got slaughtered by the Germans ) were a list of Marines who were in the Pacific at the time.
