So now we have a Republican Speaker of the House who is dependent on Democratic support to retain his position. Can you say “terminal”? The MAGA nuts want his scalp but, day-by-day, more moderate GOP members drift away. The problem is this: since MAGA and Trump are joined at the hip, these “drifters’ are running afoul of the Party leaders. So as the abyss widens, we wonder what will become of future bills that are necessary as we head to November. Picture this: Johnson supports Trump who beds down with the MAGA bunch who want Johnson’s scalp. How do you think that will work? And all the while the number of moderate GOP House members move toward?????? If this looks like a major confusion–not knowing who you’ll tick off when any issue is brought to the floor of the House–well, then you get the picture. The really interesting element is that all these GOP clowns still compete with the Dems. They just don’t all wear the same uniform and some of them change uniforms day-by-day. Who said “what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive?”
