Despite controlling the White House and both branches of Congress, the GOP can’t get much done.
Oh, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have talking points pushing back on this widespread impression. Ryan’s argument has some merit: The House has passed a good deal of legislation — 305 bills, according to GovTrack.us. Admittedly, a lot of it is minor, but there’s some meaty stuff as well, including ObamaCare repeal-and-replace.
The problem is very little of it can get through the narrowly Republican-controlled Senate.
Much of the blame goes to McConnell, particularly when the blame is being cast by President Trump’s biggest supporters. Whether that’s fair is the subject of much debate. While McConnell has made his share of mistakes, the scapegoating is often wildly overblown.

Stopped reading right there.
Because they don’t really want to do the things they tell you they’ll do when they want your vote.
But in this case, there's a lot of things that need to be undone.
Put it this way: The Bills that put Trump in office are not being acted upon because of GOP road blocks. Time to clean house, starting with McConnell and Ryan.
Jonah is a grade-A never-Trumper apologist for the GOPe who still can’t write worth beans and is completely unable to make a cogent argument.
“Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.”No, Mr. Goldberg. This is why.

I once admired Jonah Goldberg but after reading numerous articles I’ve come to be exactly the same conclusion you have.
Too many republicans are simply not republicans.
what’s so hard to figure out about that?
Because they’re pussies and traitorous sellouts to conservatism?
Dems on campaign day they’re going to do evil stuff, and mean it.
Pussies day they’re going to do good stuff, but have no intention of doing it.
Jonah Goldberg? This clown ran National Review into the ground. Few have done more damage to conservatism.
They hate Trump and want to see him fail.
They don’t want to.
Why can’t Republicans get anything done? RINOs, for one. Second, feckless leadership that is more interested in opposing the President than in getting anything done. This after eight years of kowtowing to obozo. McConnell and Ryan need to go.
McConnell should kick out the traitors from his caucus outright and govern as a minority party.
+1
I'm hoping it will be. It's a fact!
Time for all of them to take a hike....... in Ft Marcy Park!
McConnell is one of the traitors.
“... Republicans, who’d like to fulfill the promises they campaigned on for years now that they “control” Washington.”
No, they don’t want that LOL!
They want to keep doing what their big donors and lobbyists want them to do and just keep lying to the voters. That’s politics.
