The sad thing is that if the GOP Congress had enthusiastically supported Trump, instead of acting embarrassed, it wouldn't even be close.

I get that these pukes are venal and only in it for themselves, but worse than that, they are stupid. By supporting Trump they could have the lifetime sinecures they crave.

I will never understand why we, for most of whom politics is a side interest, are so much better at it than these highly-paid consultants that claim it as their livelihood.

Paul Ryan is working as hard as he can to undermine Trump and lose the House. He has a big payday planned IMO.

Because if you want to stay a member in good standing of the club you can only articulate the establishment country club academic common room approved views. Anything else is ‘strident partisanship’ or something.
