The useless party is worse than useless. Bitch-slapping them shows how irrelevant they really are.
I owe them no loyalty.
You won't get any argument from me. But you're implying that Trump needs to work with Ryan/McConnell. Who said he had to?
All I'm saying is that Trump should continue to push his agenda, do what he can through Executive Orders, and put the onus on the Republicans. The base was ready to primary a bunch of Republicans next year. Already, you had people like Dent from PA stepping down.
So instead of energizing the base, Trump's working with Schumer/Pelosi has now demoralized it. And most of the RINOs are still going to be happy with legislation because the status-quo will remain intact.
I'm no fan of the Speaker, but there does seem to be an element of truth to what he's saying.
As flawed as it was, the House version of the Obamacare "repeal" was wrapped up in May, as one example.
And they seem to be fine with being useless, as they are essentially taking away the voices of a large portion of the population (mostly conservative) by being this way. The GOP needs to be changed or replaced, one of the two - the moderates running the party are running it into the ground.
