i always knew this cretin was a RINO

If Trey Gowdy is a RINO then we are all RINOs.

The Problem With the House is really a direct result of the Rules of the Senate and the need for 60 votes to pass anything that the Dems object too. A majority of the House membership looks at that fact, presumes that a Government shutdown could easily result and give up without a fight.

End the 60 vote cloture rule in the Senate and we might have a chance at a rational House of Representatives governed by the Republicans. Without it, the Trey Gowdy view will be the correct one.
