TGHusker Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 http://theweek.com/articles/711503/why-gop-congress-most-unproductive-164-years There is not and there will not be a Republican Utopia. While we may have all thought so on Jan 20th. The stars did not align themselves accordingly. The last 6 months have proved it. Why, because they are a party wt a huge ideological chasm within. The repeal and replace is a picture of this chasm. This article points out that there is a much larger gap between Susan Collins and Mike Lee in the Repub party than the gap between Bernie and the most moderate (don't think you can say conservative wt any dem) Dem Senator. The Dems are more unified ideologically than the Repubs. There is also the gap between house Repubs and Senate Repubs. Expect this to be a real do nothing congress and with a do nothing admin despite the boasts to the contrary. 2018 could set up to be a bloodbath - Dems take over majorities in both house and the senate unless the repubs find a way to work with each other. 1 Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I almost struggle to believe this is real. But there is McCain's daughter, putting her on blast. Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 How do you expect change for the better when you get poll results like this? Junior Trump admitted he took the meeting. He posted the emails setting it up himself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3 Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I know I rip on the politics of righties all the time... but for those among us of faith, please say a prayer for John McCain. Others can send good juju or energy or whatever your belief may allow for. Guy's a verified American hero. So sad to hear about this.Heard he has glioblastoma... the same cancer that took the lives of Ted Kennedy and Beau Biden. But John will give it hell, as ever long as he can. 2 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Pretty shameless to tweet what she did in the 1st place. Her committeewoman status should be deleted. 3 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Repubs have control of congress and WH but cannot control their own party. Thus nothing much is being accomplished. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/republicans-are-in-full-control-of-government--but-losing-control-of-their-party/2017/07/23/b1ab6bbc-6d92-11e7-9c15-177740635e83_story.html?utm_term=.4f2ec2c39e75 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 This is the Republican party today. They're fiddling while Trump burns us down. 3 Link to comment

The dude questioning women on their stance with healthcare is the one on the right. 2 Link to comment
