Republicans let the perfect become the enemy of the, well, somewhat good.“

Not exactly, Johnson’s epic betrayal and surrender took most by surprise. He literally took Biden’s treasonous bill and shoved it through the House. Speaking for myself l did not see that coming.

I was speaking of McCarthy. He wasn’t perfect but was ok. Johnson is worse.

I heard Johnson on the Levin show talking about why he allowed that to to happen, and I thought it was a logical, concise, and well-reasoned argument about how you 'need to win' but then I thought "You just gave a logical, concise, and well-reasoned argument for selling out your base and giving up your principles."

It would have been the exact same outcome if McCarthy was still Speaker. He might have bloviated a bit more and made it sound like he was standing up to Democrats, but he would have "caved" (quotes because McCarthy and his RINO pals are happy to pass the Democrat agenda - no caving necessary). There is no meaningful difference between these parties at a time where there absolutely should be a big difference, to the detriment of Americans.
