This is a surprise to no one. GOP is outfoxed once again, maybe permanently this time.
If Republicans win control of the House and Senate, the Democrats will still run the place. The key goal for Republicans is who gets to control the distribution of the pork.
The GOP are gutless cowards who are apparently just fine with losing the country. I had it with them last year and finally left the party after 35 years.
There are no more political solutions.
