Gosh, I just don't want to sugar-coat how bad the Republican House has been since the 2016 election. Worse than useless. Got nothing done, never stood up to back Trump in any confrontation with the Dems, just passed continuing resolutions and avoided Trump's agenda. The swamp, both parties, defended itself, tooth and claw, in a creepy display of bipartisan evil.
What can you do about perpetual incumbents who have no principles, such as Ryan? They were the enemies of the Republic, but now most of them are gone. The Trumpist GOP Congressmen will be the incumbents in 2020.
The good news is Trump is down to one enemy instead of two. Ryan and his GOP Traitors are gone.
My feeling is the Democrats just outspent and outsmarted the GOP in carefully selected districts. They couldn’t afford to do that on the statewide level, so there was no blue wave in the Senate or governorships. But they found a message that worked and bombarded the right swing districts with it and succeeded. The health care messaging worked, the scare tactics of the GOP absurdly taking away people’s health care worked, and the GOP seemed to be completely inept at offering a response to it. The RNC chair definitely has to go. This is a complete failure on the party level to formulate a rebuttal to the dems this cycle.
“The swamp, both parties, defended itself, tooth and claw, in a creepy display of bipartisan evil. “
That’s it exactly. We knew it was bad when they allowed and funded O’muslim’s fundamental transformation of America but when the GOP turned around and started fighting against Trump, I knew we were farked.
